‘The Beach Boys played a staggering amount of #concerts in 1974 and 1975, but by 1976 they knew it was time to actually cut a new album.
Manager Steve Love came up with the idea of a “Brian’s Back” campaign where the long-absent Beach Boy would produce the #disc and join the #group on tour for the first time in over a decade.’

“The #LiveAid 40th Anniversary Gala took place this weekend - with the likes of #MidgeUre, Sir #BobGeldof and Sir #BrianMay in attendance.
The original benefit, which lasted for 16 epic hours on July 13 1985, was organised by Bob and Midge to raise relief funds for #Ethiopia as the #EastAfrican country battled a devastating #famine that would claim hundreds of thousands of lives in just two years.
Almost 40 years after 72,000 fans converged on London's #WembleyStadium for an epic string of performances from some of the biggest stars of the 1980s, the duo were seen at the Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical on Sunday.”
