Brian Wilson doc: After three failed interviews the Beach Boy’s soul is finally laid bare

BRIAN WILSON was so difficult to interview that it took three different attempts to draw some meaningful answers from the former Beach Boy - an experience that left the documentary's director feeling like he'd been repeatedly "popped in the head by Mike Tyson". Nevertheless, Long Promised Road is a fascinating glimpse into the musician's psyche, as director Brent Wilson speaks to Express.co.uk about his controversial title choice, Brian's heart-wrenching take on years of abuse and the lasting impact The Beatles had on the misunderstood artist.
