Following many Beach Boys fans and followers expressing concern for Mike Love after seeing footage from the group’s Saturday night show in Cincinnati, John Stamos has stepped in with a statement acknowledging that Love is in poor health as they are doing these shows and suggesting that his longtime friend’s time on stage may be nearing an end.

“I’ve played with Mike for 41 years. I never imagined how deeply it would affect me to see someone larger than life face something so human and fragile,” Stamos said in his Instagram post, managing expectations on his way to performing with the Beach Boys at a show scheduled for Sunday at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
