I don't see any of these guys retiring just because of "old age". That's obviously not a conflict of interest. However, if any serious health issues were to occur or God forbid they just don't wake up one day, I think we'd see immediate change if Mike or Brian is affected.
Honestly if Bruce, Alan, or David were "to go"...I don't think we'd see any alteration in the current arrangement. Now, as far as once the time comes that there are no living Beach Boys...I could easily see a touring band called "The Beach Boys" owned by BRI and whomever would be benefiting from it in the original founders families, maybe even some offspring would be involved in the lineup...but I totally think Foskett thinks he's the real deal, and Mike and Bruce seem to be okay with that too. He won't disappear easily. The only one in the touring band that I wouldn't see doing this is John Cowsill. I can't quite explain why, but it doesn't seem like his kind of gig anymore.![]()
