2002
  January   Brian Wilson Live At The Roxy Theatre is released in the UK on the Sanctuary label on
  the 14th with two new bonus tracks, "Help Me, Rhonda" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice".
  Brian plays shows in Stockholm, Hamburg, Berlin, Glasgow & London (20th - 30th).
  The London shows are recorded for a possible summer DVD release.
  February   Brian closes out his European tour in Dublin on the 1st. The touring Beach Boys play at
  the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics (9th). Brian tours Japan, 21st-27th. To coincide with
  these dates, Brian Wilson Live At The Roxy Theatre is reissued a third time (on Victor)
  with the addition of a fifth bonus song, "Fun, Fun, Fun".
  April   Brian contributes backing vocals on two new albums: Anton Fig's Figments ("Hand On
  My Shoulder") and Nancy Sinatra's California Girl ("California Girls", a 1968 recording
  to which he added vocals in 2001).
  May   As a warm-up for his forthcoming UK tour, on the 11th Brian plays two shows at the
  Roxy. Alan's case against BRI is dismissed, but he is allowed to reword sections and
  resubmit it. He forms a 'splinter' group, The All Star Beach Band: including members of
  The Surfaris and The Rip Chords, it is essentially Family & Friends without the Wilson
  sisters (who are involved in a Wilson Philips reunion project) . Wendy Wilson marries
  Dan Knudson (Alan's sound engineer) in Los Angeles on the 24th.
  June   With the likes of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & Sting, Brian plays the
  Queen's Golden Jubilee concert in the grounds of Buckingham Palace on the 3rd before
  embarking on a full UK tour (5th - 14th). His second concert set - Pet Sounds Live In
  London - is released in the UK (the Japanese version includes "Meant for You/Friends"
  live as a bonus track). New compilation California Feeling - Best Of The Beach
  Boys Selected by Brian Wilson is released in Japan; it includes a 2002 recording by
  Brian of the title track. The set is also released the following month worldwide as The
  Beach Boys Classics. Also released in Japan at the same time is The Brian Wilson
  Productions, a 19 track CD containing 17 of Brian's non-Beach Boys productions from
  the sixties (the other two cuts are not, in fact, BW productions).
  July   Solomon Burke's new album, Don't Give Up On Me, includes the unreleased Wilson/
  Paley song "Soul Searchin'". The Queen's Jubilee concert, Party At The Palace, is
  released in edited & overdubbed form on CD & DVD. Alan's revised lawsuit is once
  again dismissed.
  August   Mike & Bruce's scheduled tour of Japan (24th - 29th) is cancelled due to Mike requiring
  treatment on his back. All touring Beach Boys shows from August 11th to September
  13th are similarly cancelled. Brian plays a short (six day), mainly East Coast tour -
  Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia & New York.
  September   At Paul McCartney's request, Brian appears at Adopt-A-Minefield's second annual Open
  Hearts, Clear Mines benefit concert on September 18th in Los Angeles. On the 26th, the
  promoter for Brian's Australian tour, Ben Beath (24) is arrested, accused of defrauding
  the Bank of Melbourne of 19 million Australian dollars. The tour is thrown into doubt
  October   Brian plays the 5th annual Carl Wilson Foundation concert in Los Angeles (6th). Two
  days later he plays at a New York benefit show for Timothy White, the Billboard editor
  and Beach Boys biographer who died in June. Live At  Knebworth 1980 CD is released
  in the UK by Eagle Vision. New promoters are found for Brian's Australian tour.
  November   On The Beach Boys pages of their official website, Capitol Records post a 'bio' of the
  band heavily slanted towards the current touring group which also contains several major
  inaccuracies. Due to heavy fan pressure, the 'bio' is removed after two days.
  December   Brian plays a show in Honolulu, HI on the 6th, at the Honolulu marathon, before
  continuing on to Australia to play Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne (10th-
  18th). Brian's seasonal offering this year is a short version of "White Christmas", with
  Styx on backing vocals. Via his new website, Alan 'releases' a CD single, "PT Cruiser".
