Brian Wilson's Long Promised Road documentary gets UK release date

Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road is a new music documentary that explores the life and career of Brian Wilson, and will feature contributions from Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Nick Jonas, Taylor Hawkins and more.

Today (15 December), it's been announced that the documentary will be given a UK cinema release next month.

The documentary will feature more than 36 of Wilson's biggest hits, as well as rare tracks, previously unheard demos and more.

Last month Wilson teamed up with My Morning Jacket's Jim James on new song "Right Where I Belong" as part of the documentary soundtrack.

Director Brent Wilson (no relation) said, "My partners and I set out to tell Brian’s story in a way that had never been done before. With so many books, documentaries and films already out; I knew this was an almost impossible goal. This documentary is for both the hardcore fans and the ones who want to get to know Brian on a personal level. Brian has had an extraordinary life and you can see how his music career has influenced so many global stars of today. We created Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road to bridge the gap between myth and reality and we’re excited for the UK audience to see it in cinemas from 21st January."
