Lead Singer of the Band Boston Dies At 55  | |  "Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, was found dead Friday in his home in southern New Hampshire. He was 55.
Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. and found Delp dead. Lt. William Baldwin said in a news release that there was no indication of foul play.
"There was nothing disrupted in the house. He was a fairly healthy person from what we're able to ascertain," Police Chief Philip Consentino told WMUR-TV.
Delp apparently was alone at the time, Baldwin said.
The cause of death remained under investigation. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday.
Delp sang on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Long Time." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate America," released in 2002.
He joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an MIT student interested in experimental methods of recording music, according to the group's official Web site. The band enjoyed its greatest success and influence during its first decade.
The band's last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston's Symphony Hall.
On Friday night, the Web site was taken down and replaced with the statement: "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."
A call to the Swampscott, Mass., home of Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau was not immediately returned Friday night."
*Man this really makes me feel old. The bands I grew up on most have either broken up or someone in them has passed away. I really liked listening to Boston, brought back good memories, and although the lead singer has passed I can still enjoy them as much as I always have. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and the other members of his band. I hope Brad is sleeping peacefully now. Have you heard of the band Boston? Do you like them? Which songs do you listen to the most?

| | | | | | 1. Largecar (51)  | 3 years ago |  Ha! You say you feel old. How do you think I feel? LOL Of course I know of the band Boston. Naw there is no possible way I could like them..:P Whatever, they are my favorite band right up there with Journey. The songs that I listen to most are: Higher Power and Amanda. They have a variety of songs that I like, just to many to name here.
Such a shame that the lead singer has passed. Boston was truely one of the greats in music.

| | | 2. sublime2419 (22) | 3 years ago |  Man..I didn't even hear about this...That really sucks...I was hoping they would do some kind of reunion tour in the near future but I guess that won't happen. My favorite songs by them are probably Rock and Roll Band, Smokin, More Than a Feeling, etc.

| jeweledbluerose (2176) | 3 years ago | Yeah I was hoping the same. They truely were a great band, but can't stop things from happening. Can only hope now that he is resting peacefully and knows that his music will live on through his fans. | |

| | | 3. KrazyKlingon (3178) | 3 years ago |  It turned out that it was suicide. I don't know what was wrong, as he had so much to look forward to. He was supposed to be part of the upcoming summer 2007 Boston tour, & while on tour, he was supposed to get married. I, too, had started a discussion on this when I first heard about it that Saturday morning.

| | 4.  danprovolone (181) | 3 years ago |  im obsessed with classic rock...it was sad the day my dad came home and told me that he died...his voice is tremendously great. My favorite songs are "Peace of Mind", "More than a feeling", "Foreplay-Longtime" (of course) and "Man I'll Never be". I really wanted my dad to try and get tickets for that '07 summer tour but that messed up my plans, and worst of all it had been a suicide which is just about crazy. now there's only like one original member who has written the majority of their hits and the guitarist. as soon as anyone hears that guitar that is a fan of boston they can immediately tell it's them because it has such a significant sound to it.

| | | 5. 5ID3wind3r (42) | 3 years ago |  Whaaaaaaaaaaat????? Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
I am so sorry to learn of this. And yes -- I have loved them (one of my all-time favorites, actually) ever since "More Than a Feeling."
I've been feeling "old" since I turned 50 last month, but we both know that it really isn't "that old."
"Rock & Roll Band", "Smokin'," .... wow, could go on and on...
