John Stamos was by Beach Boys founding member Mike Love's side when news of Brian Wilson's death on Wednesday stunned the music world. 'His face went blank,' the actor recalls.

The "Full House" star, who occasionally performed with the Beach Boys, said that Love "didn't say one word" for over two hours as he processed the news: "I knew how he was feeling."

Brian Wilson, an eclectic genius whose sunny Beach Boys songs like "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations" helped define American pop music, has died.
