This is sad.....I had heard that they were going out on tour later this year. Hopefully they will find the cause of death and that it wasn't a result of drugs/alcohol. I have never heard anything about him having any substance abuse problems. He had one of the best and purest voices in rock music. Whether you like Boston or not, he had an amazing voice and they were a big influence on melodic hard rock...RIP my friend.....

Lost is one of the most unique voices in hard rock history. I've not heard anyone sound quite like him to this day. I love the first two Boston albums, and he will be missed in my hallowed halls.

Awesome band! It's always said to know it'll never be again.

Man this is bad news. This was one of my favorite bands in high school, "More Than a Feeling" and "Long Time" still give me chills. Loved his voice.

His unique voice will definitely be missed. In addition to Boston, his work on Barry Goudreau's solo album, RTZ, and in Orion the Hunter is truly something that no one else can duplicate. RIP

R.I.P. you will be missed.

Does anyone know any really rocking or "hard" boston tracks so i can do a little tribute to him tonight on my radio show? thanks!

Man this sucks! I'm not really into Boston, but he had a great voice. This is a sad day for rock music RIP.

Good band and good singer, sad to hear.

This has apparently been determined to be suicide.....even more tragic. I've added a report about it that has been edited from it's original version. He allegedly went into his bathroom with 2 charcoal grills, taped the door shut and lit both of them. An even more tragic end to an already tragic story........


CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The family of Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, said his death was a suicide.

"He was a man who gave all he had to give to everyone around him, whether family, friends, fans or strangers," the family said in a statement relayed by police Wednesday. "He gave as long as he could, as best he could, and he was very tired. We take comfort in knowing that he is now, at last, at peace."

Delp, 55, died Friday at his Atkinson home. Fiancee Pamela Sullivan found him.

Toxicology tests by the state medical examiner's office showed that Delp committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, said Lt. William Baldwin. Delp also left two notes taped to a door and letters to his family and Sullivan.

Baldwin said police do not know the contents of the letters.

The family's statement said Sullivan, Delp's children and their mother, Delp's ex-wife Micki Delp, were grateful for the sympathy they had received.

Brad Delp joined Boston in the mid-1970s and sang two of its biggest hits, "More than a Feeling" and "Long Time."

Delp had planned to marry Sullivan this summer during a break in a tour with Boston. A lifelong Beatles fan, Delp also played with a tribute band, Beatle Juice.

Beatle Juice performed a benefit last year to help build a new public library in Atkinson, a small town of about 6,000 residents on the Massachusetts border.

The family said last week it planned a private funeral followed by a public memorial to be scheduled later.

Well, probably one of the best ways to commit suicide. Just go to sleep. Definitely tragic, though.

Killing yourself in your sleep is one thing, but being careless enough to HAVE CHARCOAL GRILLS in your home where your FUCKING CHILDREN and...fiancee (I guess) could end up getting hurt or at least losing their home to fire.... I'm not questioning his musicianship, skill, influence at all, but that is beyond fucking selfish.

Killing yourself when you have children is selfish.

I never said it wasn't selfish.

Well it's not just that, but he very well could have killed them in the process as well.

Maybe they weren't home? And grills are pretty safe, bro. Maybe he threw some steaks and burgers on the grills. I know suicide is selfish, but cooking dinner for the family is about as altruistic as you can get.

God: "Brian, you can't come in. You commited suicide."
Brian: "But...but I cooked dinner for my family in the process."
God: "Well, good goddamn, Come on in son! Brothels are on your first left."
Brian: "Word."
