I just heard on the radio today on the way home from work that Boston lead singer Brad Delp was found dead in his home today.
ATKINSON, N.H. - Brad Delp, the lead singer for Boston, a huge rock sensation in the 1970s, was found dead Friday in his home, police said. He was 55.

Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. and found Delp dead. Police Lt. William Baldwin said in a statement the death was "untimely" and that there was no indication of foul play.

Delp apparently was alone at the time of his death, Baldwin said.

The cause of his death remained under investigation by the Atkinson police and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday.

Delp fronted the rock band, who rose to fame in the late 1970s and had several hits, including "More than A Feeling." The group sold millions of records.

Boston had a big summer tour planned for this year too. I wonder if they'll still go on with it, using the other vocalists (inferior to Delp, IMO).

Fran Cosmo has been the lead singer for Boston since Walk On about a decade ago. Bradley's voice just couldn't take the strain of touring. It's a shame he died as young as he died; he was an awesome rock singer.
