The wife of Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson has passed away, according to posts on social media from the singer.

"My heart is broken. Melinda, my beloved wife of 28 years, passed away this morning. Our five children and I are just in tears. We are lost. Melinda was more than my wife. She was my savior. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career," Wilson wrote.

Melinda Ledbetter Wilson was the second wife and longtime manager of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. She was formerly a model and car saleswoman.

"She was not only a model, our fathers savior, and a mother, she was a woman empowered by her spirit with a mission to better everyone she touched.  We will miss her but cherish everything she has taught us," Wilson continued in this post.

"How to take care of the person next to you without expecting anything in return, how to find beauty in the darkest of places, and how to live life as your truest self with honesty and pride. We love you mom. Give Grandma Rose and Pa our love," Wilson concluded.
