Brian Wilson’s upcoming tour with guitar hero Jeff Beck already features two other Beach Boys – founding members Al Jardine and David Marks – and now another former member, Blondie Chaplin, has been announced to be joining the trek for several dates as well.
Chaplin, the guitarist and singer who was a member of the Beach Boys briefly during the early 70’s, will join Brian Wilson on stage for performances in Hollywood, FL, New York, Las Vegas, Oakland, CA and Los Angeles.

“Blondie was one of my favorite singers in the ‘70s,” says Wilson [via Pop & Hiss]. “He blew my mind with [his vocal on] ‘Sail on Sailor’ and he also sang on a song called ‘Funky Pretty,’ on the Beach Boys’ Holland album.”
Chaplin will reportedly be lending some vocals to Wilson’s next solo album as well, which is currently in the works.
