Family: Rocker Brad Delp's death was suicide.

CONCORD, N.H. The family of rock musician Brad Delp says his death last week was a suicide.

In a statement relayed through police, the family gave no other details concerning Delp's death at his Atkinson, New Hampshire on Friday.

Police have said his fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, found him there.

Delp was the lead singer for the band Boston, which was founded in the 1970s.

The statement says Delp -- a native of Danvers -- was a man who gave all he had to help everyone around him.

It goes on to say he was "very tired" and that the family takes comfort in knowing that he's finally at peace.

Some of Boston's hits include "More Than A Feeling" and "Peace of Mind."

Part of why they did not sink to that level is they did not constantly tour. Wise decision, IMO. When was their last album release?

[pissant]

I believe you. Levon ain't a bad actor either.

[pissant]

I think Lynyrd Skynyrd also still tours. Never was familiar with Molly Hatchet.

I never thought of the Boston guys as druggies, but then again cocaine was huge back in their heyday.

I know there is a Pisano and a cyberant. LOL. And no, I'm not their illegitimate offspring.

That should put to rest (or sleep) the idea that engineers are humorless geeks - that IS funny!

[pissant]

Yes he was. Even wrote a handful of pretty good tunes. But it was his guitfiddle that won me over.

Fleetwood Mac = chic music

No worries, I tuned out 90% of rock music in the early 1990s. So I wouldn't know a new Boston song from a new Pink one.

Coal Miner's daughter's father, if I recall. Or was it her husband? Been awhile.

I still get a chuckle out of it.

No worries, I tuned out 90% of rock music in the early 1990s.

Give Gov't Mule and The Four Horsemen a listen.Jackyl was a decent band too.Only band I know to use a chainsaw as a musical instrument.

[pissant]

I'll see what I can do. I still listen to my Tull, ZZ Top, Dylan, Van the man, and a smattering of others, but these days I listen to classical music and classic jazz and swing, mostly.

Tired of playing small Indian casinos, I guess.

Wow! You sure live up to your screen name. Duncan Hunter surely is proud.

Next time a rock and roll guy dies I'll be sure to feign tears for ya.

I'm still choked up about Jim Morrison.

I saw Kansas play in an aircraft hanger at Lakenheath AFB in England in about 1987. USO tour. One of my friends got up and sang with them.

I was in Rota in '86 and saw the same USO show. It was an awesome show, they did mostly requests from the audience. The musicians were some of Kansas, along with a couple of the original members of the Doobie Brothers. The whole bunch of them were very talkative after the show and just kind of circulated signing autographs, shaking hands and taking pictures. Very, very cool.
