Suicide by carbon monoxide.

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.

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.

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.

One of my all time favorites too! So sad.

I still put in the CD and crank it up.

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

Good rock n rollers are gradually being replaced by no talent studio performers. This death is a loss of a great contributor to the music of a generation.
May he rest in peace.

How old is this journalist, 20? "Anonymous?" Maybe to those under 30, but us real rockers knew who he was. Maybe he just chose to live below the radar. Who can blame him?
