The Beach Boys have cancelled their final scheduled concert of 2026, a show due to take place on Friday in Bristol, Virginia, as singer Mike Love continues to face health problems, Nieuws.nl reports, citing Rolling Stone.

The 85-year-old singer has not disclosed the nature of his condition. The band had already cancelled dozens of concerts in recent months. In July, Love said the group would take a short break to recover, and further performances were called off in September.

Love returned to the stage for several shows in early October, but Rolling Stone reported that he remained seated and sang little. The only Beach Boys concert currently listed is a rescheduled show in Canada on 8 May 2027. It is not known whether the band will perform again after that.
