"The Beach Boys are to lose some of their founding and long-time members later this week. Mike Love - who controls the Beach Boys name and ownership - announced that Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks will leave the band.   The members&amp;#039; departure will commence after the band complete their 50th anniversary tour at London&amp;#039;s Wembley Arena tomorrow (September 28), reports the New York Times. An online petition has already been launched by fans against the decision, stating that they aim to &amp;quot;preserve the validity of the Beach Boys as a whole, and not as a money-saving, stripped-down version&amp;quot;. The Beach Boys reunited earlier this year for a worldwide tour and a brand new album titled That&amp;#039;s Why God Made the Radio. &amp;quot;The 50th Reunion Tour was designed to be a set tour with a beginning and an end to mark a special 50-year milestone for the band,&amp;quot; Love said. Wilson responded to the announcement, saying: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m disappointed and can&amp;#039;t understand why he doesn&amp;#039;t want to tour with Al, David, and me. &amp;quot;We are out there having so much fun. After all, we are the real Beach Boys.&amp;quot; The Beach Boys released a new Greatest Hits compilation earlier this week, with a bumper 50-track edition following next week.
