We have tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The message arrived as John prepared to perform with the Beach Boys at Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium. The concert was part of the band\u2019s tour celebrating the 60th anniversary of its iconic album <em>Pet Sounds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The tour follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2025\/06\/brian-wilson-cause-of-death-beach-boys-founder-passes-away-at-82\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the death of Beach Boys\u2019 frontman Brian Wilson<\/a>, who passed away last year.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Love\u2019s health appears to have become a growing concern for those closest to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike is a fighter,\u201d John continued, explaining that doctors, family members, and friends have encouraged the 85-year-old musician to prioritize his health. However, Love reportedly remains determined to keep performing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe insists on being on stage,\u201d Stamos explained. \u201cHe says he needs his band, the audience, his friends and drummer surrounding him to lift him up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stamos also acknowledged that watching his longtime friend face these challenges has been difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve played with Mike for 41 years,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI never imagined how deeply it would affect me to see someone larger than life face something so human and fragile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Love\u2019s specific health issues have not been disclosed, Stamos made it clear that his friend\u2019s determination to perform has not wavered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mike Love we see tonight may not be exactly the Mike we\u2019ve always known,\u201d John added. \u201cBut he\u2019s still every bit the Mike we love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor also reflected on the enormous influence Loce has had on his life, crediting the musician with teaching him how to command a stage, entertain audiences, and connect with fans.<\/p>\n<p>Their relationship extends well beyond music. Love even officiated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2018\/02\/john-stamos-and-caitlin-mchugh-married\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stamos\u2019 2018 wedding to wife Caitlin McHugh<\/a>, and he has become part of the actor\u2019s family life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t just give me a place in his band. He gave me a place in his life,\u201d John wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Full House<\/em> alum concluded his message by emphasizing the importance of appreciating loved ones while they are still here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe the hardest part of loving someone is becoming so accustomed to the miracle of having them there that you forget it\u2019s a miracle at all,\u201d he reflected.<\/p>\n<p>For John, the upcoming performance was about more than celebrating the Beach Boys\u2019 legendary catalog. It was an opportunity to cherish his friend and the music they have shared for more than four decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know what tomorrow brings,\u201d John wrote. \u201cBut we have tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"thg-endcard\" hidden=\"\" aria-label=\"Get the Hollywood Gossip app\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thg-endcard-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/thg-ios-app-icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thg-endcard-icon lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/thg-ios-app-icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"thg-endcard-title\">Get the app \u2014 celeb news first<\/span><span class=\"thg-endcard-sub\">Push alerts the second a story breaks \u00b7 4.8\u2605 \u00b7 Free<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"thg-endcard-get\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/apple-store\/id372387225?pt=367523&amp;ct=web-endcard-cta&amp;mt=8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Get the App<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2026\/10\/john-stamos-says-beach-boys-mike-love-insists-on-performing-despite-dire-health-warnings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Time: 2 minutes Over the weekend, video of Beach Boys legend Mike Love performing on stage went viral on social media.
