NEW YORK — The Beach Boys’ Mike Love was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame last Thursday night, just one day after it was announced that his inimitable bandmate Brian Wilson had died.

Mike Love of The Beach Boys was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday, June 12, in New York City. Actor John Stamos was on hand to give the speech for Love's induction because Stamos has been playing with the Beach Boys since 1985.

The "Full House" actor said he learned about the Beach Boys co-founder's passing after landing in New York City to introduce Love at his 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
