Folks, he wasn't anonymous to us up here in New England, especially those of us who enjoy the Beatles music.
His cover band, Beetlejuice, in which he was the lead singer, were the next best thing to hearing the Beatles live (I would guess)
Just unbelievable, to hear them play those Beatles songs with the energy they did, in those small clubs up here.
Prayers for him and his family.

I just can't understand somebody committing suicide when they have a fiancee. A wife? Yes. An ex-wife? Definitely. A girlfriend? Possibly. But why does one off themselves while also planning to get married? Just makes no sense.

Brad Delp joined Boston in the mid-1970s and sang two of its biggest hits, "More than a Feeling" and "Long Time."Uhmmmm...Brad sang all their hits.
I wonder what was eating at him. Boston was still touring, his own band was doing well, he was going to get married....

Boston wasn't my cup of tea, as I preferred more rough-around-the-edges rock, but their songwriting and musicianship was leagues above that of their peers, and Brad Delp was a fantastic singer. Who knows what drives a person to suicide? Prayers for his loved ones.
To: RDTF
It's not my fault. I've known his name for as long as I can remember. I always considered him to be one of the best vocalists in rock.

Good point. How devastated must his fiancee be?

From what little information there was from the police I figured that's what it would be. He seemed to be enjoying life career wise. I wonder if there were problems with his relationship.

I found it interesting she wasn't with him that night. Maybe there were problems.

One of my all time favorites too! So sad.

Thank you Mr. Delp for your artistic talent and integrity. I pray that current musical groups learn from your success.
