SINGER IN NEED OF DECISION MANAGEMENT

Beach Boys Singer Brian Wilson Has Dementia, Family Seeks Conservatorship

(AP/FOX NEW S) – A Los Angeles judge determined Beach Boys’
Brian Wilson is in need of a conservatorship due to "major neurocognitive disorder."

Wilson’s family filed to place the musician under conservatorship
in February after
the Beach Boys co-founder was diagnosed with 
dementia.

The diagnosis, coupled with the recent passing of Brian’s wife,
Melinda Wilson, led his family and doctors to make the decision.
