Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love is a huge Donald Trump fan, and like Trump, he's now seemingly falling asleep at his own events. The post John Stamos Defends Mike Love’s Alarming Live Return: “He Insists On Being On Stage” appeared first on Stereogum .
In a somber update on October 11, John Stamos revealed that Mike Love, the sole remaining original member of The Beach Boys, is currently facing serious health challenges. Stamos, a frequent collaborator with The Beach Boys, expressed his deep concern and admiration for Love in an emotionally charged Instagram post. Despite doctors and loved ones encouraging him to prioritize health, Love has insisted on continuing to perform.
