A story found on Quora:
 This is a story that Alice Cooper told about John and Brian Wilson.
 “I was sitting backstage after the 1974 Grammys with Bernie Taupin (Elton John’s lyricist) and John Lennon. This was when Brian was really having some mental issues,” said Cooper.
 “During the course of the conversation, I kept seeing Brian out of the corner of my eye, just kind of staring at us from different angles.”
 “Finally, he came up to the table, bent down and whispered in my ear ‘Hey Alice, introduce me to John Lennon.’ I couldn’t BELIEVE that these two men had never met! They were virtually neck and neck in the 60’s as the greatest bands on the planet, and I’m SURE they must have crossed paths at some point. But then I thought to myself, ‘Wow, I’m going to be the one to introduce them and become a part of rock history!’”

I remember reading Paul once went to Wilson's house when he first flipped his wig and tried to meet with and console him. I don't think Wilson let him in.
