Poor dude. He's suffering major neurological decline.
From the article: " More details about Wilson’s condition were included in a capacity declaration. It said Wilson, the writer behind dozens of Top 40 hits including “I Get Around,” “Help Me, Rhonda,” and “Good Vibrations,” would find it “emotionally very stressful” as well as physically difficult to attend any court hearings in person. “He is easily distracted” and “often makes spontaneous irrelevant or incoherent utterances,” the declaration from Dr. Stephen S. Marmer, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, said.
Wilson also has a “very short attention span and while unintentionally disruptive, is frequently unable to maintain decorum appropriate to the situation,” the doctor told the court, adding that Wilson is taking a drug called Aricept to treat his dementia. The doctor said Wilson has trouble following instructions, except when he’s taking voice lessons or during physical therapy. “This is based on long-standing muscle memory,” the doctor wrote."
At least they're keeping him at home, which I'm sure is a good thing to be in familiar surroundings. Interesting that he's 'taking voice lessons', I guess that's to try to stimulate portions of his brain to try to keep them from atrophying?
I've been seeing articles about his condition and the plans for this conservatorship, I knew this was coming and pretty much inevitable.
