‘I’M IN TEARS’ 😭💔 With heavy hearts, we announce the passing. When you find out who it is, you will cry: Check the first comment ⤵️⤵️

Brian Wilson said that his wife Melinda Ledbetter passed away.

The Beach Boys frontrunner shared the news on social media on Tuesday.

Brian, 81, shared a heartfelt message with his followers on X, which used to be Twitter.

“It hurts my heart. “This morning, my beloved wife of 28 years, Melinda, died,” he began.

“All five of our kids and I are crying.” We don’t know where we are. It wasn’t just my wife that Melinda was. She saved my life. I felt safe enough with her around to have a career.

“She told me to make the music that was important to me.” She held me down. She did everything for us. There was no stopping her. She was one of the strongest women you could meet.

“She was more than just a role model, our dad’s savior, and a mother. She was a spirit-filled woman on a mission to make everyone she touched better.” We will miss her, but we will always remember what she taught us.

I learned how to care for the person next to me without expecting anything in return. I also learned how to find beauty in the worst places and how to be proud to be yourself in every situation. We love you, mom. “Give Grandma Rose and Pa our love,” he said to end the thread.

That singer from “Good Vibrations” shared a picture of Melinda when she was younger and a picture of the two of them together.

“I LOVE YOU SO MUCH”
Fans praised and wished Brian well in the comments sections of his social media posts.

“We love you, Brian,” one said. “So very sorry to hear this.”
