(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.

James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006)

“Soul Brother #1,”The Godfather of Soul,” “Mr. Dynamite,” “Sex Machine,” “The Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk.”

These are some of the names by which the world would eventually
know James Joseph Brown, Jr., the revolutionary musical figure
who was born on May 3, 1933. The story Brown himself would
often tell is that he appeared stillborn when he first came into
the world, but that an aunt attending his birth managed to breathe
life into him.

Duane Eddy, the pioneering rock guitarist known
for instrumental tracks “Rebel Rouser” and “Peter
Gunn”, has died.

According to reports in the Arizona Republic, the
Grammy-winning musician died peacefully on Tuesday
(30 April), surrounded by his family at his home in
Franklin, Tennessee.
