Brian Wilson has revealed that he had a second round of surgery to correct a hereditary problem in his back. In an official post to Tumblr, the Beach Boys legend revealed that he underwent the procedure once already, prior to the group's 50th anniversary tour.
"I've been reading the posts where some of you are concerned about my health in general. I want to let you know that before the Beach Boys 50th tour started I was having some lower back issues right around the time we performed on the Grammys in February," he wrote.
"This is the same type of problem that Carl used to suffer from, it's hereditary. But being able to tour with the Boys again meant so much to me that I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Luckily, I was able to get this new cutting edge procedure that totally worked. But after this last run in Australia it came back and I had the procedure redone this week. I feel so much better already and can't wait to get back to my second home, London!!" he adds in the post.
