The Beach Boys have canceled the last remaining show on their 2026 itinerary as co-founder Mike Love battles an undisclosed health issue. The band’s Nov. 13 stop at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Bristol, Virginia, was quietly canceled, Rolling Stone reported, leaving the only remaining show on the calendar for next year on May 8 at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Alberta, Canada.
