June 11 (UPI) -- Beach Boys co-founder and accomplished composer Brian Wilson has died at the age of 82, his family announced on social media.
Wilson's family shared news of the musician's death in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
"We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away," the post reads. "We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world."
The post did not offer any details on the potential cause of Wilson's death, but his legal team said last year that he was suffering from a neurocognitive disorder and was being placed in a conservatorship.
