Brian Wilson has announced a world tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of seminal Beach Boys album Pet Sounds.
The widespread 2016 tour will see Wilson perform the album in full for the final time, taking in more than 70 venues across the US, the UK, Europe, Asia and Australasia.
Wilson and his band will be joined by former bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin when they kick off the tour in New Zealand on March 26.
As well as Pet Sounds in its entirety, fans can expect hits from throughout Wilson’s 54-year career.
Wilson says: “It’s really been a trip to sit here and think about releasing Pet Sounds 50 years ago. I love performing this album with my band and look forward to playing it for fans all across the world.”
Pet Sounds was released in 1966 and went on to become one of the best-selling and most influential records of all time.
In 2015, Wilson released his latest solo album No Pier Pressure.
