Johnston, who joined the iconic group in 1965 when Brian Wilson stepped away from touring, has played approximately 6,000 concerts and contributed timeless songs like “Disney Girls” and “Tears in the Morning.”
“It’s time for Part Three of my lengthy musical career!” Johnston told Rolling Stone. “I can write songs forever and wait until you hear what’s coming! As my major talent beyond singing is songwriting, now is the time to get serious again.”

“I’ll be doing appearances and events of my own. I might even sing Disney Girls and I Write the Songs,” Johnston added.
To fill Johnston’s spot on the road, the Beach Boys are bringing in Chris Cron, the lead singer of the tribute band Pet Sounds Live. Cron has already begun performing with the group in select shows and is known for faithfully recreating the vintage Beach Boys harmonies that fans love.
The Beach Boys, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, are legendary for pioneering the “California sound” with lush vocal harmonies and surf-inspired pop music. Johnston joined the band as Brian Wilson shifted his focus to studio work, contributing his voice and songwriting to some of the group’s most memorable tracks.
Meanwhile, founding member Al Jardine tours separately with the Pet Sounds Band, celebrating the 1977 album The Beach Boys Love You and reviving rare tracks like Let’s Put Our Hearts Together with Brian Wilson’s former backing musicians.
