The beloved American rock band, famous for hits like 'Surfin' U.S.A', 'Wouldn't It Be Nice', 'Kokomo' and 'California Girls', formed in California back in 1961, with the group's original lineup consisting of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine.

Just two more of the original members of the Beach Boys are still alive: Mike Love and Al Jardine, as Dennis drowned in 1983 while Carl Wilson died of lung cancer in 1998.

Tributes have since flooded in across the world following the news of Brian's passing, with one X user writing: "Thank you to Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys for your timeless and classic music. I hope you are up there riding the biggest wave with your brother Carl. Godspeed to you."
