Tommy DeCarlo has died at age 60.
The musician, who became the lead vocalist for the rock-n-roll band Boston in 2007 after Brad Delp died, passed away on Monday.
The singer's family confirmed the news in Facebook and Instagram posts after launching a GoFundMe page to help with his medical expenses.
They said he died after battling brain cancer for six months.
'It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our Dad, Tommy DeCarlo, on Monday, March 9th, 2026. After being diagnosed with brain cancer last September, he fought with incredible strength and courage right up until the very end,' the note read.
'During this difficult time, we kindly ask that friends and fans respect our family’s privacy as we grieve and support one another.'
Boston is best known for the hit songs More Than A Feeling, Peace Of Mind and Amanda. They were formed in 1975 in Boston, Massachusetts by chief songwriter and composer Tom Scholz.
There was also a GoFundMe page that asked for help with his medical bills; it so far raised over $56,000.
'In late September, Dad suffered a sudden brain bleed and underwent an emergency craniotomy,' the note began.
'During surgery, doctors discovered two melanoma masses on his brain and another spot on his lungs.

Very sad news. RIP Tommy DeCarlo.
Yup, sounds like another vax victim.
Don’t Look Back
Boston singers are like the drummers in Spinal Tap.
Yeah my dad died in 1990 of brain cancer from the clot shot.
I wish people here would stop parroting this, Not everyone that gets cancer got it because of the vax. I am Exhibit A.
Thats based on more than a feeling.
It was brain cancer....not everything is a covid vax conspiracy.
C’mon now
Similar mindset as the lefties who blame Trump for everything
Myth and misinformation
Misinformation is often a mix of true and false ideas. COVID-19 myths are no different. As new information comes out, not everyone learns about it at the same time. And a person may not know something they learned is false or may not remember it exactly.
Here are some known COVID-19 myths.
Do COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer or make cancer harder to treat?
No. COVID-19 vaccines are not linked to a rise in cancer or more aggressive cancer. This myth may be passed along as one person’s experience. Or rarely, as a personal observation by a healthcare professional.
Researchers looked at the large groups of people who got a COVID-19 vaccine, and there is no evidence to support this myth.
Do COVID-19 vaccines cause heart problems, blood clots or stroke?
The COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. do not cause blood clots. COVID-19 vaccines are not linked to a higher risk of stroke. The benefits of COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the risks of rare cases of heart problems. Also, the risk of heart problems seem to be higher with COVID-19 infection than with COVID-19 vaccination.
Among some groups of people and depending on the type of COVID-19 vaccine, getting vaccinated is linked in rare cases to side effects. But it is a myth to say that, in general, the vaccine raises health risks more than catching the virus that causes COVID-19.
Using vaccine surveillance systems, health agencies can shed light on potential risks.
Myocarditis, pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination. In some people, COVID-19 vaccines are linked to inflammation of the heart muscle or the lining outside the heart. This is a rare side effect seen more often in young males than in other groups. These complications also may happen after getting sick with the virus that causes COVID-19.
Blood clot syndrome after Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination. In 2021, vaccine tracking found that some people who got the J&J COVID-19 vaccine later got a blood clot disorder.
Called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, the disorder happened in about four people per one million doses of vaccine given. While the syndrome is rare, it is treated in the hospital and may result in death.
Because of this link, health agencies in the United States recommended other COVID-19 vaccine options instead of the J&J COVID-19 vaccine. That vaccine is no longer available in the United States.
Stroke risk in older adults. In January 2023, one vaccine safety tracking system noted a possible rise in stroke risk among people over age 65 who got a COVID-19 vaccine. The system, Vaccine Safety Datalink, is designed to quickly find patterns of concerns, also called sensitivity. But after review, no specific pattern or link was found between reporting a stroke and getting a COVID-19 vaccine. The databases that produced the statistical signal are early warning systems. In this case, the signal was a false alarm.

Piece of Mind
“ The musician, who became the lead vocalist for the rock-n-roll band Boston in 2007”
I thought the actual singer died.
That band is cursed. Loved them back in the day.
You really didn’t need to hijack the thread
Didn’t the original lead singer commit suicide by putting a charcoal grill inside his apartment? Carbon Monoxide?
I didn't say that it was.
I said it sounded like it.
Read it for what it said, not what you want it to say.
