RIP Brad Delp

This is beyond sad. Boston and Brad have been a part of my life since I was 15 years old (I'm 46 now). I'm very happy now that I went to see Boston in concert back in 1998.

Man, I haven't shed a tear for the death of a musician in a long time.

Rest In Peace Brad. As the song says "There was something about you, yeah there was something about you".

 

Thanks Brad for 3 great Boston albums.We'll miss ya!RIP

 

Whereabouts is Atkinson, Kevin? Is that near Manchester? I live in the Lake Sunapee region.

 

goodbye to the "voice" of Boston....Sad

 

What did you think of RTZ (Return To Zero)? That was the album Brad did with former Boston bandmates (minus Tom, of course). While it wasn't an incredible record, I thought it had some good moments.

Dave

 

Very sad news. What is often overlooked is how great his layered harmonies are on the classic Boston records. I also enjoy his work on the RTZ album with Barry Goudreau. RIP.

 

R.I.P. Brad

 

Very sad news to be sure. Excellent vocalist.

 

Great voice and too bad Tom Scholz did not give him more opportunities to use it.

RIP Brad

 

Damn, at 55 that's far to young to go.

Delp's contributions to the "Boston sound" was huge.

And he will sadly be missed.

 

Same here. I hate seeing posts like this. RIP, Brad. We'll surely miss you.

 

Can't even come up with the words...

 

Just heard! This sucks!

 

R.I.P.
Seen BOSTON in 78...Great band

 

I just found out that Brad Delp lived about 100 yards away from me. My wife called me this afternoon to tell me that there were 4 or 5 police cars in front of one of our neighbor's house. I just verified that they were there for Brad Delp.

This is freaky. I wish I had known he lived there. I would have loved to have chatted with him. What a bummer.

 

The more the death of Brad sinks in, the more upsetting it's getting.

 

Wow, that's an amzing story, Kevin. Too bad you didn't know he lived there.

 

Wow how sad, the voice of one of my favorite bands growing up gone too soon, I remember listening the first album hundreds of times form the time it forst came out thru high school

 

Wow. That's waaayyy too young. He was truely one of the greatest singers in rock. Just amazing. I'm really shocked. I'm glad I got to see him sing with Boston in '86 on the Third Stage tour.

 

Wow, that's a shame. Very surprised...I wonder what happened?

 

I never liked Boston, but it's sad to hear this news.

All the best wishes to his family.

 

I'm shocked and saddened. Delp was a great singer and was amazingly skilled at layered, overdubbed harmonies. Spot-on and always soulful, too. A one-man choir.

Brad, thanks for making some beautiful music. Your voice will be sorely missed.

 

wow, how did you never know Kevin ?

I know all my neighbors. maybe he was quiet ?

I am sure he would have had no problem saying hello to you if you knocked on his door. he was a very nice guy.

 

Wow,i just heard,bummer.
