Boston lead singer Brad Delp dies at 55 1 hour, 2 minutes ago
ATKINSON, N.H. - 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. Police Lt. William Baldwin said in a statement the death was "untimely" and that there was no indication of foul play.

Delp apparently was alone at the time of his death, Baldwin said.
The cause of his death remained under investigation by the Atkinson police and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday.
Delp sang vocals on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Longtime." 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.

At the time, their music was considered, among musicians, tops in arranging, layering, voicing. 0 -

Part of that great era of city named bands Boston, Kansas, Styx etc had a way of making great rock with a nice guy twist.
One of the last concerts I went to was Boston and they were so good.
Not sure how he died but he lived well.
More than a sad feeling![:(]

I couldn't care less when a pop-princess kicks it, but when a guy like Brad Delp goes, it's a tragedy to music. Boston was always some kickass hard rock. He wasn't a cookie-cutter vocalist, either. Very distinctive voice.
I think the last real loss we had before this was when Dimebag Darrell got shot. A Metal God, still in his prime, slain by an unbeliever's hand...I was despondent for days.0 -

Some people calls 'em a Kaiser blade, I calls 'em a sling blade.
I hate to see a legend die, especially when he is only a year older than I am.0
