The Beach Boys Make First Public Appearance In A Decade

The remaining original members of The Beach Boys appeared for the first time in public for over a decade yesterday.

Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine met on top the Capital Records building in Hollywood together with Bruce Johnston and ex-Beach Boy David Marks to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the seminal ‘Pet Sounds.’

The band were also handed framed plaques containing two platinum records to celebrate the recent success of their 2003 compilation album ‘Sounds of the Summer: The Very Best of the Beach Boys.’

Posthumous plaques were also awarded to Carl and Dennis Wilson.

Al Jardine joked to reporters upon receiving the platinum award: “It’s always good to do this while we’re still living.”

Such a reunion had seemed unlikely in the past after years of animosity between band lynchpins Wilson and Love.

Love confirmed that the hatchet had now been buried and said: “There’s issues that arise and you resolve them over time.”
