SINGER Brian Wilson has urged his former band The Beach Boys to cancel a performance at a trophyhunting convention where Donald Trump Jr will be one of the speakers.
Wilson said he and co-founder Al Jardine will have nothing to do with a show at the Safari Club International Convention in Reno, Nevada.

The Beach Boys were founded in California in 1961 and sold hundreds of millions of records. The Mirror is campaigning for an end to the bloodthirsty practice of trophy hunting, calling on the Government to ban the import of animals shot for pleasure. Ministers are consulting until February 25 on whether trophy hunting imports should be outlawed.
