LA honours Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson is to receive an official commendation for his contribution to Los Angeles today, it has been announced.
The pop legend will be honoured by the council at City Hall in recognition of his musical achievements across almost 50 years.
The award coincides with a hat-trick of live dates hosted by the star at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend.
"In the 46 years since Brian Wilson wrote the lyric 'If everybody had an ocean,' nobody has done more to define the Southern California experience than The Beach Boys" a statement confirmed.
"That Lucky Old Sun", Wilson's new album and a musical homage to LA, was released earlier this month.
About time as well, the guy's a ledgend IMHO
