Bruce Springsteen, Nick Jonas, Sir Elton John, Jakob Dylan and Jim James will also feature in the film as they give commentary of Brian's life.
The documentary was directed by Brent Wilson, who told Variety: "It won’t be a linear, all-consuming documentary.
"We all really felt that Brian is living this really remarkable third act in his life, that as far as I can think of very few artists get to do."
