Brian Wilson, 81, the founder of the Beach Boys, has been placed under a court-ordered conservatorship three months after the death of his wife and due to his diagnosis of a major neurocognitive disorder. The conservatorship, approved by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gus T. May, will be managed by Wilson's longtime publicist and manager, Jean Sievers, and his business manager, LeeAnn Hard. The decision was made based on clear and convincing evidence that Wilson's condition necessitated this arrangement, and Wilson himself consents to the conservatorship without objection.
