Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
John Stamos and his group, John Stamos and the California Sound, have been booked to replace the Beach Boys at two Epcot concerts on 11 and 12 November. The change follows singer Mike Love’s break from touring amid serious, unspecified health challenges, leaving the band’s upcoming schedule uncertain.
The shows are part of Epcot’s Eat to the Beat series, and the musicians backing Stamos have not been announced. Love, 85, is the Beach Boys’ only remaining original member; Stamos has performed and recorded with the band for more than four decades. The Beach Boys are still listed for a 13 November show in Bristol, Virginia, and a May 2027 concert in Alberta.
