John Stamos says Beach Boys legend Mike Love is facing 'serious health challenges'

John Stamos performed with the Beach Boys on Sunday at Ryman's Auditorium in Nashville.

Before the show, the actor was overcome with emotion talking about Beach Boys legend Mike Love, who is facing "serious health challenges." Stamos, 63, shared a carousel of images on social media with his "musical hero and mentor" before admitting that he was "struggling" to put his feelings into words.

"My beloved friend, father figure, musical hero and mentor, Mike Love, is facing serious health challenges ," he wrote.

"We hope he’ll be doing what he loves for years to come, but we don’t know what the future holds.

We have tonight." At Tuesday's Hot Cuisine fundraiser for the Scleroderma Research Foundation (SRF), Stamos told Fox News Digital it was his mission to get Love to the Ryman Auditorium for a performance of a lifetime.

ROD STEWART CONFIRMS FINAL TOUR AFTER HEART PROCEDURE AND HEALTH SCARES "Our goal was to get him up at the Ryman this weekend.

He wanted it," Stamos said.

"I've been spending a lot of time with him, you know, quiet time.

We've been listening to music … Doo-wop, he loves Doo-Wop." "And I said, ‘You gotta tell me, do you really think you can do these shows this weekend?’ He said, ‘Yes, and I really want to.’ I said, 'We'll make it happen.'" Stamos added, "Everybody told him not to – doctors, his family – but it was something he wanted to do.

He's made all my dreams come true and all my wishes.

So I had to fulfill his wish, and we made sure that he got there and did a good job." SRF presented John Stamos with the Bob Saget Legacy Award, recognizing his steadfast support for scleroderma research and his commitment to following in Bob’s footsteps by shining a spotlight on scleroderma and raising funds toward a cure.

Love's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

It's unclear what health struggles Love faces.

Stamos and Love's son Brian Love made speeches prior to the show.
