Rock legends roll back the years just for fun, fun, fun
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.They may have lost their hair and the waists are a bit thicker, but the music sounds the same. Thirty years after his last performance in Britain, Brian Wilson (front left) and the Beach Boys played in Brixton, south London yesterday with Status Quo.
The ageing West Coast surfers and singalong rock 'n rollers came together because Wilson has re-recorded his classic single, "Fun, Fun, Fun" with Status Quo, who are celebrating 30 years in the music business. Mike Love, Beach Boys vocalist and co-writer of "Fun, Fun, Fun", said: "We have always been known for our vocals, while Quo are famous for their guitar sound. The song is dynamic with the two put together."
With Wilson are Francis Rossi (Status Quo, front right) and (back, left to right) Mike Love (Beach Boys, in cap), Rick Parfitt (Status Quo), Al Jardine (Beach Boys), Jeff Rich (Status Quo)
