Mike Love exclusively tells PEOPLE that he and late Beach Boys bandmate Brian Wilson are "inseparable" both in "life and afterlife" ahead of the 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony on June 12.

“These projects continue to come out with all this new and unheard material,” said the author Peter Ames Carlin, who wrote a 2006 biography of Wilson, “Catch a Wave.”
