The Beach Boys musician Jeffrey Foskett has died at just 67 years old after battling with thyroid cancer. The band's co-founder Brian Wilson heartbreakingly confirmed the news on Wednesday 13 December, as he said: "I'm so heartbroken that my dear friend Jeff Foskett has passed." He continued: "Jeff was always there for me when we toured and we couldn't have done it without him.

Jeff was one of the most talented guys I ever knew. He was a great musical leader and guitarist and he could sing like an angel.

I first met Jeff in 1976 when he knocked on my door in Bel Air and I invited him in, and we were friends ever since. "I don't know what else to say.

Love and Mercy to Jeff's family and friends, we will remember him forever." Jeffrey's lifelong friend John Stamos also paid tribute to the musician as he wrote online: "Today, I lost more than a friend; I lost a part of my soul, my history - Jeffrey Foskett, my dearest friend, brother, and the brightest light in my life, has left this world." John said that when he heard the sad news this morning, "uncontrolable tears streamed" down his face.
