John Stamos says Beach Boys singer Mike Love is dealing with health challenges but has no intention of stepping away from performing. The actor and longtime friend of the band shared the update during a recent public appearance, telling the audience that the 84 year old frontman is determined to keep touring despite his condition.

"The Mike Love we see tonight may not be exactly the Mike we've always known," Stamos said, according to remarks shared from the event. He explained that Love has been managing physical difficulties that have affected his mobility and stage presence, but that his commitment to the group's live shows remains unchanged.

Stamos, who has performed with the Beach Boys on and off for decades as a guest musician, described Love as someone who treats the stage as a second home. He said the singer "insists on being on stage" even when doctors or family members suggest he take time off to rest.

The Beach Boys continue to tour regularly, with Love serving as the band's lead vocalist and one of its founding members. Fans have noticed changes in recent performances, prompting questions about his health. Stamos did not offer a specific diagnosis or timeline for recovery, but he asked audiences to appreciate what Love still brings to each show.

Love has not released a formal statement about his condition. The band is scheduled to play several dates in the coming months, and no cancellations have been announced.
