what can i say? brad brought me out of depression numerous timeswith his god sent voice. i first heard boston when i was 9 years old and they were just releasing the ' don't look back' album, alot of singers may come and go but there will never be another bradly delp. yeah there may be a few that can hit higher notes but the clarity and pitch that brad had still makes me get chills!! the way he delivered the song just amazes me!!! he also was a super human being. i got to see boston in pensacola during the walk on tour and the way he and fran cosmo sounded together was mind bogling, though it was live, they never missed a note. so today i was listening to until your love comes back around and once again mr delp made me smile!!! thank you brad!!!! you are missed by all your fans and friends. god bless brad's family and other band mates from beetlejuice, boston and rtz.tom, i hope you keep boston rockin on cause you know brad would want that!!

The Tribute Concert in Boston 8/19/07 at the Bank of America Pavilion was fantastic. Thank you to all the great talent that hit the stage. Ernie and the Automatics, RTZ, BeatleJuice, Godsmack, Farenheit, a fantastic 15 minute tribute movie put together by Brad's daughter, and very kind words from Tom, indicating that it was the first time since 1976 he hit the stage without Brad Delp onstage with him! It was awsome to see most of the players that were ever in BOSTON hit the stage after a one hour BOSTON set for Don't Look Back! Great time had by all.....I hope it comes out on DVD. Hosted by Lynn Hoffman from VH1, and the place was crawling with video camera operators, so it just might happen.
Rest in Peace, Brad, and thanx for all the great Songs!

What can I say that hasn't already been said by countless fans...I've seen Boston many times and it was absolutely crushing to hear Brad had passed away.I was quite sure I was going to be able to meet him this summer and tell him how important his music had been to me as well as my brother (who is now deceased). Although I never knew him personally he was like an older brother figure that I listened to ever since the beginning. Him passing was very close to reliving my own brother's death; both had decided to end their lives for reasons not all known. I don't think that I've ever dealt with my own buried pain until Brad had passed away. When I listen to Brad sing it still brings me joy but with a real healthy dose of sadness. One just never knows what is going on inside someone's thoughts. I wish he would have been able to address his depression years ago when he most likely needed it. I pray for his family, bandmates, friends, and most of all for Brad's soul. He will be forever sorely missed more than I can describe.

We will miss one of the most perfect and passionate vocalists of the last 30 years. We have so much classic music to remember you by,and i'll always pay tribute to Brad everytime I hear those soaring harmonies throught the Boston catalog. Let your voice ring in the heavens,and thank you for touching my heart with your talent. God Bless you!!!!

If there has ever been a singer that made you you forget every nasty little thing going on in your life, it was Brad Delp. He knew he was touching your soul and that's what he gave every song and every listener. He hit the top of an impossible range for lots of years. I will miss the prospect of seeing and hearing him live. God keep him. God bless his family for sharing him with us.

"I woke up this morning, and the sun was gone..." That says it all. I spent countless hours in my teens with the head phones on, usually very stoned of course!!!! listening to those first two albums.I can play them today, and it takes me back...what a voice!

Have listened to "BOSTON" and Brad`s voice since the seventies,can it really be that long?Have always loved Brad`s voice and the way he always seemed to have time for others.What a massive loss for everyone.My heart goes out to his family,friends and intended.GOD BLESS BRAD!!!

Like millions of other fans, I remember the first release of the rock group, Boston. Reflecting back, their sound was so new, so different. The "lead" singer's (Brad Delp's, of course) voice seemed to soar as high as the powerful guitars did. Boston was a part of my teenage/young adult years and now with Brad's passing, I definitely feel a sense of loss...just like everyone else. Brad, thank you for the wonderful music you gave us and may you rest in peace...

04/04/07: Melissa Bloom - Bloomy555@yahoo.com
I am so grateful for the contribution of Bradley Delp! His voice will continue to touch my soul. I love him so much, this beautiful man! Blessings to his transition as he takes it to the next stage. Healing to all that are so deeply grieving, including me. He is the greatest sound of my lifetime! That truth remains. Peace.

Great voice. I loved More than a feeling. Played it a 1000 times when I was younger... so here's one to you Brad.

One nite i went out with some friends to a foosball and pool hall to play and they had music there not live but from a sterio from this room the guy would put on a 8 track and let it play and then when it was over he would change it out but one night we were playing and i heard more than a feeling come on didnt know who it was i was like who in the hell is this band playing over the sytem they rock and some dude said some new band named boston and after hearing all of this 8 track i was like play it over it again i had never heard anything like it before the vovals were powerful and the guitars were mind blowing a year had passed and this same 8 track sold millions of 6 tracks everywhere you went they were playing boston it something i will never forget brad rest in peace man i just dont think there will be a voice like yours again cody

30/03/07: Kevin - medikkev@aol.com
Boston was the first 8 track I can remember blasting in my first car. I wore it out, as so many afterwards. Seems like I am always buying a Boston album (dates me dosnt it?) album. Man so much has changed since then, but I remain true to my thinking that Boston was and IS the best rock and roll band EVER. Saw them in Ft worth, with Haggar opening, and although it was a fuzzy show (due to some heavy duty partying) it was AWESOME!!! I have a gold plated Boston cd that was some kind of commemorative edition. At least cd's don't get wore out like 8 tracks, Lol. God bless you Brad, I wish someone could have helped you brother.

30/03/07: Jen - jjbean66@hotmail.com
My all-time favorite rock vocalist, period, is gone. Wow. I sang along with Brad to every Boston song for years and years. Brad how you will be missed by so many. I had the priviledge of seeing Boston in concert twice back in the day, and I was fortunate meet the band and Brad backstage after a Third Stage concert in Chicago. He signed my shirt and my VIP pass. Couldn't be a nicer guy. His vocals and his music were the soundtrack of my life. Best concerts I ever saw. Best vocal I've ever heard... and there will be no more shows... truly a sad day.

29/03/07: norbert krueler - info@shamall.com
a rock legend left much to early ...... this guy had "more than a feeling" in everything he did.
i think brad was inspiration in the past and sets the melodic-rock-route for the next 100 years.
god take him .... he was a good one.

Anyone who cares about the tragic passing of the incomparable Brad Delp should go to InformationWeek dot com and read two recent blog entries written by one Alexander Wolfe. Your jaw will drop at the appalling insensitivity and nasty tone that this clown uses to write about Brad and BOSTON.

Wolfe’s first blog entry is called “A Band About Nothing: Remembering Boston’s Brad Delp.” It was posted on March 11th, just two days after Brad’s passing. Wolfe’s follow-up article is even worse. It’s called “The Web Just Wants to be Rude,” and was posted on March 25th.

I don’t think the site is posting any more comments from Brad’s fans because they are all so furious. (Wimps.) But if these two articles make you as sick as they made me, please write to Alex and his bosses and editors and let them know what you think. Just click on “Contact Us” in the red bar at the bottom of every page on the site, and you’ll find all the email addresses you’ll need.

Brad, buddy — thanks for sharing your gift with us. You are truly missed.

28/03/07: Paul Ferrara - pferrara@att.net
I don't remember if I posted on here before, but it really doesn't matter. I must be honest and say that I'm not handling this well, in denial perhaps. How many nights as a teenager I sat at home trying to sing with Brad; forget sounding like him or as good as him. He gave so much, and what could we give him in his time of need? That's what makes this so very very hard to handle. To say that Brad will be missed is about as much of an understatement as one can make. His voice and personality truly were one-of-a-kind. Brad lonely? For all you gave to us, so many would have gladly given back if we knew, if we could have, if we only knew. Thankfuly the music continues. Many prayers to Brad's children, fiance, friends, bandmates and family members. If a stranger hurts this badly because of this tragedy, I cannot even begin to imagine their pain. We ache with you and continue to mourn. Thank you Brad for the music.

27/03/07: dean - 54truth@sbcglobal.net
I can only hold on to the memories of times past when Boston's music allowed me to continue in life after tough and tragic happenings. Reading this may only fractionally console a family or friend of Brad's, but I had to let someone know of how personally I have taken this loss, as the loss of a brother. When someone as soulful as Brad comes along in life to share a rare gift that improves the lives of others, it's no wonder that losing him we all lose a part of ourselves. We love him even though most of us never met him. Hopefully we'll see him again(in the flesh-Mathew 5:5) someday under far better circumstances and once again be priveledged to hear that golden voice. In the meantime I will be enviable of anyone who got to know him personally. Thanks for your gift, Brad.

27/03/07: Mike S. - childrensgalore@aol.com
18 days ago my heart was broken. My eyes filled with tears still running down my face today. He was the perfect singer
who appeared to be the perfect human being. Always giving
but never to himself. Always looking out for someone else in
need. His voice called out to millions but never to cry out
in pain. Now gone but never to be forgotten. How can I thank
him for a lifetime of memories?

P.S. Watch this most touching tribute to Brad.

I am devestated. I met Brad on two occassions and he was so real, so down to earth. I can't beleive how many tears I have shed for someone I don't really know. I do feel I knew him through his music. We all probally feel this way because the music and lirics are so relatable to everyday life. WHY........

25/03/07: Laurie - landrwright@msn.com
It's been over 2 weeks since you passed away, and I've been listening to your music. Like I have since I was 11 years old and first heard More Than A Feeling. I only saw you in concert once (1995) but I got the rare chance to meet you after the show before you got in the limo. And I was just amazed...you actually came over and signed autographs, you talked to me (like a regular Joe) and even gave me a hug!!! I don't think i washed my hands for weeks...lol! Lots of people can say things about Tom Scholz's "neurotic" style ( and I agree), but BOSTON wouldn't have existed without the package deal....No Tom, No Brad, No real BOSTON!!!! Anyway, I've been trying to sum up my true feelings about Brad's passing.....and the only thing I can come up with is just sadness. When I met him, I said I was his biggest fan (I'm sure that's the first time he ever heard that...lol)....but he acted like I was the first person to ever say that....great memory! Brad, I know you won't remember every person you touched over the years, but I was one of them....and I won't ever forget YOU! BOSTON will forever live on in the memories of those who got to experience the AWESOME music, those who got to meet you personally and I sure hope that parents, you pass this on to your kids...because there is soooo much junk out there today. Condolences to your family, friends, fiance, bandmates, and many, many fans!! Maybe our paths will cross again someday! Peace Brad!!!!

It's hard to put thoughts into words.They're from the heart but the brain gets in the way.I wanna say that as an active musician at the time your first record came out,I have been pleasingly challenged and much enjoyed covering some of your work.I have great memories of things shared with my Cindy (my lady of 35 years)with your music,part of it's soundtrack.I wanna say,as a vocalist,Brad Delp is on my all-time,Top 10 list of great singers.Always impressed at how such sweet,angelic harmonies,(vocal&guitar),could be delivered with that hard-hitting knock-out punch!I've known about the talent musicaly speaking but little else.After reading all of the nice things from friends and bandmates,I'm of a mind you must've had a real talent at being a great human being.I wish I could've been your neighbor.
To you,Brad and all those close to you,you're in my heart.
Your music lives on...PEACE

I so much wanted to write to Brad last year and tell him that his voice got me through the rough times as we recovered here in New Orleans. Life was so tough, but I turned on my Boston greatest hits, and I just let him comfort me. The songs were so upbeat and positive, something we need here. I wish I would have sent that letter. I wish I could have met him. I am very sad, and I cannot stop thinking of how I wish I could have helped him somehow. There are not many rock stars like him. No ego, just human.

i cried when i heard of Brad's passing, one of the greatest singer's of them all has gone, leaving behind memories of that beautiful, glorious voice. I'd never heard a singer like him before I heard Boston, and I know I'll never hear another to touch him.

Thanks for all the wonderful Music Brad - Rest In Peace

Sincere Condolences to all his family & friends

20/03/07: Seth - minds.eye.music@hotmail.com
As I read through these comments, my thoughts keep coming back to the same sad irony . . . Brad was one of those lonely souls who in the end was just looking for 'PEACE OF MIND'. As I listen to songs like "A Man I'll Never Be" or "Gonna Hitch A Ride" I can't help to wonder if there was a silent scream in those lyrics.

Yes, the world has lost a true Legend! Brad's voice was angelic. Many of the songs he sang to us all to me were very spiritual in nature. Maybe the yearning or longing for love is in each one of us . . . and no doubt, makes for some pretty great songs!

We share many of the same experiences. My first show was Boston and Sammy Hagar in 1978. As a kid, we waited backstage for the band and from what I remember, they were very down to earth. I hears there was going to be a Boston Tour in 2007, which was news to me. I would have definitely gone and would have been a perfect closure of all of my concert experiences . . right where 'The Journey' began.

My final thought is that there are a dozen Chad Krogers out there (Nickelback) and about a hundred Kurt Cobains (Nirvana).

But there was only ONE Brad Delp . . . and somehow it seems he was just too good to be true.

Still, thank God for the memories, the music and for giving us The Man. I hope Brad has found peace in 'My Destination'.

Best Wishes,
Seth Talmadge

Someone said something I feel as well. I didn't previously understand the personal loss that some felt when John Lennon or Elvis passed but as a product of the 70's the death of Brad Delp effects me like a loss in my family. Brad Delp did not have the superstar status of those other two yet his voice managed to have an amazingly large impact on so many of us. I'm simply a fan but his voice was there like a best friend. His voice transcended the radio, the vinyl, the tapes and the CD's. It didn't just go to my ears, it went to my heart. It's apparent I am not alone in that sentiment. His voice was bigger and more meaningful to me than all the rest. I wish I could go back in time and thank him for that.

I send this message and e-mail with the truest of heart.Brad Delp,Boston.I first saw you guys in 1976 at Big Mac in Denver CO Oct.31st.Just listening to you on the radio playing "More than a feeling".Still one of my favorite songs of all time. I was 18 years old at the time. Feel like an old man but young at heart. Rock and roll band, you damn right. Your music definitely made an influence in my life. Rock on -- don't give up. We have lost the best voice in rock and roll history as far as I am concerned (man that guy had a voice). By the way, that's not the only time I saw you -- I saw you in concert several times -- my heart is broken. We cannot change things. Life goes on. But it will be damn tough. Persevere Boston. Long live Brad Delp -- you were the best. Sincerely, David W. Beitz

I have a wonderful memory of Brad. I, really, hope this is not inappropriate because it's a wonderful memory for me and the times. When The BOSTON album came out they came to Ct. at the very beginning of the tour and came to the Waterbury Palace, an excellent venue, but a smaller hall for sure. By the last leg of the tour, the band and the album was a smash, so they hit the Hartford Coliseum on the return swing home. The Hartford Coliseum was more fitting for a band with an album in which every song on the album was getting rotational air-play. The DAY of the show I win a single, front row seat to see them. They were probably exhausted after almost a year of straight touring, but you would never know it by their [Brad, especially] performance. They seemed, trully happy to be there.
Then, came "Smoking" in which Brad sounded great. All of a sudden the 'bridge' of the song comes and I notice someone handed Brad a 'joint'. He takes a hit and comes from stage left to stage right [where I'm seated with complete strangers. I had only won 1 ticket so I went alone]. He sits down on the edge of the stage and motions for ME to come over [I probaly looked like the biggest stoner in the front row...Hey,If the shoe fits...and it was the 70's]. He takes another hit then hands me the joint. I dutifully take the "J" and go to town on said "reefer stick". We share a few more hits, then he looks at me with these warm, friendly eyes... gives me a, subtle, nod of the head towards the band as if to say, "That's my cue...gotta go", then gets up, grabs the mike and finishes the song. The lighting guys keep the spot on Brad, but seemed to have added one on me also [or I was just stoned and imagined the light]. Their I am up front with about 15,000+ people, I believe, staring at me "stoke a doobie" that, the very cool, Brad Delp has just handed me during the break of "Smoking". After a second of paranoia, another big toke, I stubbed out the roach on my boot and saved it for later. I should have framed it. Great Singer, Great Show, Great Memory, and best of all Great Joint! I will miss you Brad.
God Bless and Love.

This is my second entry on this page, and I would like to use it to let people know that even with a soft spoken and non-egotistical man such as Brad, he is being slammed and unfairly so. First off, to people who are calling him selfish for taking his own life, grow up. Unless you deal with depression every day of your life, you do NOT have ANY right to call someone else selfish. And I am not talking about your marriage breaking up or losing your job. While tragic, those are things you get over. There was more to Brad's life than most of you know. Take it from someone who actually got to know him. Also, for any of you out there who claim that Brad was self-medicating himself for his depression rather than taking prescribed medicine, hear this and pay attention. BRAD DELP DID NOT USE DRUGS!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!! The most he ever did was enjoy a few beers here and there. He was the ultimate professional and the ultimate great guy. Depression is hard enough to deal with, but it is even tougher when you don't take anything for it.......prescribed or otherwise. So, all fo you should be grateful that he made it through as long as he did. This disease is often detected in early teen-age years, so assume that Brad lived with the knowledge and the disease for 40+ years and the fact that he refused to take anything for it is amazing. All of you naysayers need to grow up.

I was a lonely kid growing up, small for my age, too smart (and smart-assed) to be liked by my so-called 'peers'. I discovered girls and music at about the same age, and it helped take the sting out of feeling like I was alone in the world.

My father and I liked music, but he couldn't stand what I listened to until one of his friends pulled out "Don't Look Back" from my records and put it on for him. They ended up smoking some pot and listening to it and the debut album two or three times. I had trouble looking him in the eye and telling him the reason that 2nd album was so special for my was that I played that album for my first girlfriend and when I put it on for the 2nd time, well... I'll spare you the details, but it left good memories of that album on the mind of a 13 year old boy.

I did see them once on their "Christmas In Canada" tour, which I still have the t-shirt for. I wished I had stuck it out in the cold behind the Pacific Coluseum but I had to get a bus to my Aunts house where I was spending the night.

Now the old girlfriend I've lost track of, my dad died in 1981 but I still have those treasured pieces of vinyl at home, and I have eagarly dug around for all the recordings that Brad Delp ever made. The last album by Boston will be treasured by my, for reasons few will ever understand. RIP Brad

I'm glad I got a chance to see Brad perform with Boston several years ago. He will go down in history as one of rock music's greatest vocalists. Boston's debut album is the second CD I ever bought and is one of the greatest ever made. R.I.P. Brad, thanks for the great music.

I am a huge fan of Boston, and Brad Delp (along with Steve Perry) is an inspiration to me as a singer and musican. I have performed his music in cover bands, and though it was always a challenge to hit those notes (lol) I welcomed it, trying to deliver on what Brad had already done with ease. Listening to him sing evokes only good feelings for me, and I am sad that he won't be here to make us all happy with his voice and his music. I hope to meet him in heaven, where only a man with an angel voice can go.

Still the only band in history where every single song on their debut album became a rock and roll CLASSIC!I was 17 when I saw them at the Swing Auditorim in San Bernardino,Ca.1976.What a fantastic show !!!Forever my favorite band of all time!!The beautiful sound that came from his vocals backed by the rest of the band still give me chills .Thank you Brad for MOER THAN A FEELING , A MAN I'LL NEVER BE, and all the rest of the songs I grew up on.Thank you for touching my heart .You will be missed so much. I never met you but i knew you anyway. My heart goes out to all the family and friends who knew and loved you as i did .

I met Brad in a club I was workng in Allston Ma, in the early seventies. He was introduced to me by another member of my band. I remember we were discussing how he was shedding material in a basement with Tom and the rest of the band. little did I know at the time that I was speaking to someone one who would soon be a legend. When I heard of his death it knawed at me as it still does today. I'm not sure why I feel this way, other than that chance meeting of one lead singer to another, we never made contact again. Not only that, but as much as I wanted, I never got to see Juice. Always thought there would be another time. I was wrong! If I have learned anything of this terrible loss it would be to capture every moment as it approaches. My heart goes out to all of his family, fellow band members, and all the hearts he touched throughout his magnificant career.

WOW What a great loss to the entire world!! Brad Delp is Boston and now that is gone. What a very sad day, week, month, year!!! I like so many others grew up with our stereos so loud listening to his wonderful voice will be forever greatful for picking us up when we were down. I must say how greatful I am that my daughter Ashley bought me and my husband tickets to see Boston in Nashville back in 04 it was the greatest show I have ever seen. Brad and his voice was amazing to hear and see live. I will never forget that night and oh so many days and nights before that listening to him sing!!! We are going to miss him until we get to hear him again live in heaven. But for now REST IN PEACE BRAD You will be greatly missed. We will pray for your family!

Boston has always been my #1 rock band of all time.I met Brad Delp at Mississippi Nights on the riverfront St. Louis Back in the 90's.We talked for a good 2 hours as the band RTZ was getting ready for a sound check.After the sound check, he came back and talked with my friends and I, he really loved people and was never selfish,he was awesome as a person and a lead singer!!He will be sorely missed yet never forgotten,his voice and his gift will continue to ring across the land,thanks a million Brad!!To Brads family and friends I send my deepest condolences and I pray for your healing.May Brad rest in God's peace and love forever and ever,Amen.

I saw Boston's Third Stage Tour in September of 1987 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena (now called Mellon Arena). I was 16 and it was my first rock concert. I loved Tom and Gary Pihl. Their guitar work was flawless but I must say, I was even more blown away by Brad. I've never heard any man in rock and roll sing as amazingly as he did that night. It seems that most of the music industry is fixated on immortalized the wrong people as the "great" signers of rock and roll. Singers like Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart or even Janis Joplin. These people certainly have their place in rock history however Brad Delp was on a completely different plane of existence. Singers like Steve Perry, or maybe even Geoff Tate are certainly great. I am also one of the biggest VH Sammy Hagar fans but, Brad would smoke them all. Let us all now pray for the freinds and family Brad left behind. May God bless them all in this time of great sorrow.

What can I say?! I have never been so emotional over the passing of a celebrity. Perhaps its' because Brad Delp and Boston didn't act like celebrities. They didn't NEED the limelight. They created their music on their terms. When and how they wanted. Boston's incredible music, positive lyrics and Brad's voice move me in a way that I can't really even describe. Not only was Brad Delp probably the best rock vocalist there ever was or ever will be but he was also a man who was gave so much of himself to worthy causes. Not your typical drugged out, sex starved, alchoholic, egotistical "Rock Star". Brad Delp was a Star in the truest sense. A shining light in a dark world and he was just simply too good for this cruel place. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

On Friday afternoon I had listened to both Boston and Don't Look Back while working around the house. That night a friend and I did some research on an old hospital in Danvers, Mass. Needless to say that on Saturday morning when my brother told me that Brad had passed away, I was filled with shock. Then came sorrow and then finally peace.

I had the pleasure of meeting Brad in Pittsburgh at an RTZ show along with my brother, whose an even bigger Boston fan. The details have faded but I still remember his welcoming smile and the time he took to talk to Thom, Kathy and I even while he was busy loading equipment onto the bus after their show.

I find comfort in believing that he took the time, in one way or another, to visit all of his fans on his way out of this world just as he did with those who were lucky enough to have met him in person. I also find peace knowing that the legacy that Brad and his bandmates have created will live on forever.

My most heart-felt condolences to his family, friends and fans.

Keep Smiling

My sympathies go out to Brad's family and friends. One of my first concerts was Boston at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit in 1987. It was simply amazing and I left feeling such energy and a whole new appreciation for Brad and Tom and the magic they created together. RIP Brad, your voice will live on forever.

So many people have come and gone. Their faces fade as the years go by...

Somehow your voice has never faded, Brad. And it never will.

Carry me away for the last time...

Sorry you felt the pain of this plane. Show that angel choir what a heavenly voice truly sounds like.

16/03/07: 3qaz - 3qaz@excite.com
"I woke up this morning and the sun was gone..."

That lyric says it all, the way I felt when I read the news of Brad's suicide.

You mighta been a lonely soul, Brad, but people you never even met appreciated the fact that you were here on this planet for a short time.

Rest easy.

I have loved Boston from the first time I heard them..Back in 1978. Brad's voice was the one highpoint of each song. They ROCKED and still do. A classic Voice, a classic band, and people will still listen to Boston long after we are gone. Rock on, Brad! Heaven's band just got one hell of a new singer! My heart goes out to your bandmates and family and friends. We are ALL with you!!!

I didn't know Brad, but the news almost brought tears to my eyes. We not only lost
a truly amazing artist, but a humble and classy guy.... a guy who gave his all - a true man.
I grew up with your music that pulled me through so many good and bad times, still does.
I feel as though I have lost a friend. We will never forget you Brad.........

Incredible voice! I say that everything for me now is a sad surprise. I did not know anything about this sad notice. But of course at least we can say that He made the difference and Boston wouldn't be Boston without him!!!

Great voice and nice guy. You will be missed. Listening to your music was a right of passage in my High School days, windows down and Boston blaring. RIP,Brad

Brad Delp was lent an instrument from the angels in heaven. I just read on another message board a comment that stated, “’More Than a Feeling’ is the sound of your older brother washing his car in the driveway on a summer afternoon.” How many of you are smiling and nodding in agreement right now?

To everyone who’s reading this: Spin around in your computer chair right now and call your parents. Tell them how much you love them. Get up and walk over to your partner, and tell him or her how much you appreciate them. If you’re lucky enough to still be able to visit your kids in their bedrooms, instead of a graveyard --- reach out and hug them, and hold them tight. Every day we have with our loved ones is precious, and someday *will* be the last. Do it now. Do it for Brad Delp. Do it to honor the joy he gave, and continues to give, to millions.

More than a feeling, indeed.

The whole world has lost one of the finest voice in rock history, I've lost my favourite singer..I couldn't be a singer without him.
His music and inspiration will live forever in my heart.
Thanks for the memories,Brad..now you can fly.
Deep condoliances to his family and dearest friends from Italy.
His music was more than a feeling...

Brad, we will miss you. I my opinon we have lost one of the greatest voices in rock and roll, past, present, and future. Your voice has been the soundtrack to my teenage years, and has always managed to make me smile and want to sing along. I now treasure the 3 chances I've had to see you live. Thanks for that. Rest in peace.

I had the privilige of meeting Brad a few years ago. A rare breed of nice guy in Rock n Roll. Though your physical presence will be missed, your spirit and legacy live on in our ears, our minds, and our hearts. You touched my life, as well as many others. We are proud to have you as part of our lives.

I can only pray that God understood what he was going through and took his soul. I was shocked to hear this news. What a sad and tragic loss to Rock and Roll. He was truely a hero to us in the music business and he will be missed. I will think of you every time we hear a Boston song and they will never sound the same. If it's possible, there will be more emotion.
"Party" in Heaven Brad!

16/03/07: Daryl - drpal@shaw.ca
Like most of us this has hit me very hard. Brad was one of greatest voices in Rock. I was lucky enough to see Boston on their amazing 1988 Canadian Christams tour. To me side two of Third Stage will always stand up as one of the greatest sides in Rock. God Bless you Brad may you find the peace you are looking for. Your voice will live on forever.

16/03/07: Mark Nolde - purpelaar1965@hotmail.com
I heard that one of mine favourite singers suffered from depressions and took his life.......
So sad.
I feel extra connected because I suffer from the same illness. Something which makes you very lonely and tired.
Right now I am in very low point myself. Though I do not wish to end my life often it seems there's nothing left.

Brad, hope you're fine now. Somewhere, somewhere in time......

I remember the day my older brother came home with the firstBoston album.The music just picked me up and swept me away.That feeling has never left me and never will.Brad had a voice which just soared and took you took a better palce where the sun always shines.He created a style of singing which no other vocalist ever managed to recreate.Heaven has just gained one of the most angelic rock voices ever.My condolences to Brads family.

Brad Delp was a vocal dynamo!, whose talent will never be forgotten or duplicated [the S/T, and "Third Stage"cd's, are both testaments to that..] This world's untimely loss, is Heavens sweet gain.., for Brad now sings with angelic hosts, in the Greatest Band of All, free from all suffering, and pain.. My Condolences to the Delp/BOSTON family.. May God bless and keep you all..

Brad Delp, the lead singer of "Boston" was a legend to me, was Paul McCartney was to Brad Delp. Im 41 years old now and back in the year 1976, Boston was my first love of rock roll music.
I was 11 years old, living in Canada,and everyone including my Father loved "Boston's" music.

Boston was my first love of Rock&Roll music and my heart and soul is truly Broken hearted when I first heard about Brad's death!

Dear Brad,...God bless your soul.,I wish and hope one day we meet at the Pearly Gates of Heaven My Dear Brother.

Fact: Brad Delp had one of the greatest Voices in Rock n Roll History.

My favorite band, as a kid and forever, was Boston. I painted the logo on my bedroom wall and embroydered it on my jeans. I am so sad for Brad's death. I am personally bereaved. MY love to his family and band mates. I am so sad that such a spirit would be snuffed out so sadly. I am grieving with you.
Peace,

The ache in my soul has been with me all week....I wish I could have been there for Brad, the way his voice was there for me at my lowest times throughout my life. Why do I feel this way about a man I never met? I am so...heartbroken. I pray his soul is at peace, and his family feels the love of a grateful world for having had him here. His music, and the way he lived his life with such humility and grace will always be a source of inspiration for me.......God bless you, brother.

15/03/07: Richard F - richardfairless@msn.com
I was blown away by Boston's first album as were so many. Saw them in concert with my buddy Mike White at Anaheim Stadium in '78 for Don't Look Back. They were awesome! Brad's voice is one of the best in Rock and Roll and will be sorely missed. Life is too short. Steve Perry, you take care of yourself and sing for us again!

15/03/07: David Vandenberg Kaisler - Davekaisler@aol.com
My thoughts and prayers go out to Brads family, friends and, bandmates. My world is now less friendly and darker without Brads incredible singing. When will we recognize that depression is just as debilitating as other illnesses and, help people to get the proper care sooner? Rest in Peace!!!!!!!!!!!

What a phenominal man and singer. He touched the world with his voice. Boston is a band that was years ahead of its time yet its songs were timeless. Rock on Brad, rest in peace.

My first concert ever was Boston/Sammy Hagar in Lakeland, FL 1979. I was in 11th grade. We decided to hang out after the show in back of the civic center and see if any rock stars came out. Brad Delp came out and signed autographs for us. The thing I remember is that his pen did not work and he sent his girlfriend to the tour bus to find a working pen. Most would have just left.
Brad stayed and waited for the pen that worked. I'm sitting here writing this, looking at the Boston tour program he signed for me almost 30 years ago. Pretty Cool! Great Singer. RIP Brad.

15/03/07: KD - Closeheart@aol.com
What a tragedy...Brad's voice filled my room during some of my darkest hours, and I only wish there was something we could have done during his darkest hours. Even though you may have passed, your work and voice will be immortalized.

15/03/07: Shannon - none@no.com
May God hide you in the shadows of his wings, and Grace fall upon the Delp family and Friends in this time of sorrow. Truly an amazing Human and Voice.

I'm a young fan of great rock and roll music, and Boston has always been one of my favorite bands. Brad Delp truly was the heart and soul of Boston. I only wished that I had been able to see them play live. His voice always brought me happiness no matter what he sang. R.I.P. Brad, fly on forever free bird!!!

15/03/07: Keith Ford - kkl2215@earthlink.net
This one really hurts.
He left us with some of the VERY BEST classic rock music ever. You never get tired of listening to those old BOSTON albums. His voice did not seem real. I was in a band that opened for him when he was in RTZ, and we were all like, were is he at, waiting to just get a glimpse of him. When we finally got to meet him, he was such a cool person. I will never forget that moment.
Rest in Peace, brother.

15/03/07: Ron G - nonaggt@yahoo.com
It was so sad to hear of Brads passing. Over the years Bostons music and Brads voice has meant so much to so many people, including myself. One particular song will always be very special to me, since I named my daughter Amanda after the song nearly 18 years ago. I'm glad she was able to see and hear Boston perform her song a few years ago. RIP Brad. :(

I still have a ticket stub(at $5.50!!) from my first concert in Athens,Oh featuring Boston w/Rick Derringer touring from their debut album.Roughly 30 years have passed and I STILL listen to the music of Boston with passion.Boston's music has left an impact on my life-I can still remember the first time hearing More Than A Feeling and instantly hooked!!I was looking forward to this summers tour with great anticipation.We have lost one of the best,most passionate and recognizable voices in music history.R.I.P Brad Delp-you will be sorely missed!!

15/03/07: Andreas - stixx123@aol.com
I never got to see Boston in concert, nor did I get to meet him. Yet, I feel like I knew him personally. With his musical legacy, he will continue to be "the voice", through inspiring those of us who grew up listening to him and the young talent of generations to come. He gave all of us the greatest gift that anyone could ever give...memories. Whether it was your first kiss to "More Than A Feeling" or your girlfriend's name was "Amanda", Brad's voice was there to mark that special moment in time. At THIS particular moment in time, Brad is no longer with us physically, but his voice, soul, spirit and legacy will live on forever. Rest peacefully, my friend, and when the angels start to sing, show them how it is done....

15/03/07: Mitch - vitaman1203@aol.com
I am in total shock. I saw Boston on their very 1st tour and every one after. I am so f***in depressed right now.

Bradley, you will never be forgotten. I hope you are at peace now. Evertime I hear the opening lines of a Boston song, it will be met with meloncholy sadness because you have meant so much to music fans and are truly one in a million. I still remember the day I saw Boston for the first time and is will always remain the best show I have ever seen. Rest in peace now old friend and may God bless you and your family and all the millions of fans that have great sadness now. To listen to you sing will always be More Than A Feeling now................

All I can say is what a difference Brad Delp made to the music world and to the people around him. To me there was never a more gifted singer and what world of gifts he gave us as music lovers that we will treasure forever. Even though I didn't know Brad I feel like he was a friend that got me through some tough times. God Bless you

I think that we can get something positive out of this tragedy. Instead of judging, it´s within the reach of everyone to turn words into action and, taking a little bit of time out of our daily busy schedules and do something for someone (closer to you, even an unknown person). We can use the creativity and imagination of our minds for the betterment of mankind! I hope and pray all the members from the family the late Brad Delp will be able to find the strenght to carry on. My respectful condolences. He will be dearly missed.

Yes, I did leave a message a few days ago but here is another. Before I go on, I would like to thank Andrew of melodicrock.com for giving us this forum to heal from this great loss. Andrew, just from reading your thoughts on this whole issue, I must say that you seem like one heck of a nice guy.

Brad has moved on to a better place. We miss him, but the people who need our support the most are his children, fiancé, family, band mates and close friends. So this message is especially to them: First, a great big 'cyber' hug from me to you. Losing someone close to you is VERY hard - I know. Although there is not much one can say to ease your pain, time will heal, so please take care of yourselves and each other. I am sure that is what Brad would want. Take care! Alan

Boston's "Don't Look Back" was one of my first albums that I got when I was a kid. I always loved the Boston sound and of course the voice. When I heard of Brad Delp passing away, I didn't believe it. My condolences goes out to the family, friends and the fans. Another great musician will sorely be missed.

I got my first car in 1978, and my dad got me an 8 track player for it. Although I had listened to the Eagles and Queen alot, the first 8 track I bought was Don't Look Back (oddly, not the first album). I don't even remember why I bought it. I loved the music and vocals so much, I went out and found the first album and played it constantly in the car. I remember taking many friends to school with me, having that first album blaring at full volume and having people sitting in the back seat right next to the speakers with their eyes closed just listening to the music. I loved the music. I loved the vocals. It gave me a true appreciation of how rock and roll could be played in more of a symphonic sort of way. To tell the truth, although I loved the music and in particular the guitar sound, the only person I could instantly say the name of was Brad Delp. His vocals made the music come alive. It wasn't until a few years later that Tom's name and influence became known to me.

I waited forever for Third Stage (as every else did), worrying that with all the news about people leaving the band that Brad would leave as well. I loved the leading track so much that I named my daughter after it.

When I look back at my younger years, the band Boston with the singing of Brad Delp are a big part of what I remember most. With the passing of Brad, I honestly feel that a part of my youth has passed as well. I can't say how much I will miss his voice.

To his family, I offer my condolences. I wish there was more that I could offer, given all that he offered to me personally with his singing. God bless...

Certainly one of the most gifted vocalists of our time has passed on. I was stunned when i heard the news about Brad. An AWESOME vocalist, blessed with an incredible range. I never got to see brad in concert, living in the U.K.
I think Boston only ever toured once in the U.K. R.I.P. Brad, gone but never forgotten!

15/03/07: Sergio Uribe - www.sergio.uribe@21st.com
Boy, its a total shame of extreme sadness in the loss of such a great talent. I almost first got to see Boston open for Black Sabbath in 1976, but wasn't allowed since I was just too young.
Finally I did the second time around when Cheap Trick open for them in 1978 in Houston, Texas which is my home town. You know,
its funny how after all these years I still continue to listen to
Boston music almost every week, and kids today listen to so much garbage that comes out now with no heart or soul. Brad was and still is one of the all time greatest vocalist in rock ! He's up there with Freddie, Plant, Coverdale, Rodgers, Hughes, and the list goes on... We will all miss him and I ask the older generation that grew up with Boston, Please teach your children the great music of the 70's, because in my eyes and heart, Boston was always one on the greats. When I heard about his passing, I got on the phone and called our vocalist and it hit him hard. The next rehearsal we played some Boston music as a tribute.
We will miss you Brad, Love Sergio and the entire MAJIC band.
Los Angeles, CA. P.S. He's up there now with all the greats in music. "May Love, Peace and Music be in our hearts always, and forever"..

I had a music professor in college once describe popular music as really "nostalgia music". It is the background music that makes up our memories. Don't take this to mean that a moniker such as that trivializes the depth such music can play in ones life or for the masses in general. It simply means that if you grew up in the '70s you may love Boston today maybe Nickelback - who knows. The point is how much music can mean and Boston has so many great songs that mean so much to so many people. Boston contributed so many significant and iconic songs to popular music. One song of theirs that stands out for me is 'Amanda'. I was crazy about a girl for several years and finally we went to a dance together and 'Amanda' was the song we first dance to. God that song haunted me then and to this day. It will forever have a place in my heart. It was Brad's vocals that drove that song. So I wish to take this time to say thanks for all the wonderful and great songs Brad, but in particular thanks for 'Amanda'.

15/03/07: Zander - balance_vanhalen_tribute@yahoo.com
Brad had one of the best voices in rock! From what I heard from people I know that have met Brad in the past said he is a great person. Truly a huge loss to the music community, the New England area and most importanly a huge loss to his family and friends....You will be truly missed, and my thoughts and prayers go out to the ones who knew Brad Delp.

Brad Delp was a rare breed indeed. The was a BRILLIANT talent, and by all accounts a humble and caring human being. Not your typical rock star. IT's very sad.
I think as more details become available it will be revealed the Tom Scholz's EGO and grade school antics were a huge part of the pressure that Brad had to deal with , and which may have played a part in all of this. Boston was and would have been nothing without the talents of Brad Delp. OOPS>...I better be careful.....Tom might sue me when he reads this!
RIP Brad!

In 1976 I had already graduated from high school and was starting art school. Music had already been an important element in my life...essentially my own personal "soundtrack". And, back in the 70's, there were so many types of musicial styles out there. Then, one day, the opening notes of "More Than A Feelng" hit the radio. Then came that voice! And I was hooked from then on!! To this day, I still sing along with Brad on MTAF and all the other tunes. Having all the albums on vinyl originally, I had upgraded to CDs so that I could continue listening to the band. And then last year, the remastered reissues came out and you bet...I had to get them too!! After the announcement about Brad hit the news, there was Boston music all over the airwaves. But, what really struck me the most was the number of DJs (among the stations that I listen to) who ALL said that they had met Brad in the past and what a great, personable and friendly guy that he was. My thoughts and prayers are with the Delp family. It's reassuring knowing that Brad is teaching the angels a thing or two about singing! God bless.

Paul Rodgers, Steve Perry, Lou Gramm: Your brother is waiting on the other side. A man of incredible talent, versatility and humanity, Brad will be forever loved and missed. May God bless you.

What a shock! I was always inspired by the music of Boston and the voice of Brad! My condolences to all people around him.
Rest in peace, Brad.

My heart goes out to Brad, his family, and his bandmates. Many of my childhood memories are associated with Brad's voice and Boston's music. I'm just a fan from Michigan, but I will miss Brad dearly. May he rest in peace.

One of the best voices in music. His voice and Boston's songs ALWAYS take me back to high school and make me sit back and smile about days gone by. My thoughts are with the Delp family and the Boston band and crew. R.I.P. BRAD DELP

15/03/07: Sean - skrams72@aol.com
Brad Delp was one of the greatest lead singers in rock music. His loss is possibly the most difficult of any I can remember and the pain everyone is feeling will last a long time. I wish Brad would have sought help from family and friends. Boston could have continued with great music but now, unfortunately, they will miss an integral part of their legacy. Rest in peace Brad Delp...you are sorely missed.

15/03/07: Mike Mountain - mjmountain@cox.net
This just hurts. There are people in this world that even though you never met them, you feel as if they were a friend. Through his music, I have known Brad Delp for 30 years. And even though we never met, it was just comforting to know that someone who gave me so much was out there in the world. My condolences to his family, his friends and his fans. The world is a sadder place without you Brad.

This is a tragedy. Brad was one of the greatest voices that the world has ever heard. Boston's albums are considered "old", but it still sounds brand new when you here them. My prayers go out to Brad's family. His music will live in my heart forever.

I was heart broken when I heard the news of Brads passing. today after hearing that he took his life hurt as well. I can't even think of the many, many times hearing his voice help me through my troubles. Thank you Brad, I wish my voice could have help you in your time. You will never be missed or silenced. Your heart will still be felt everyday throughout the world on the air waves. We will never forget and never let go of your touch on this world. Bod bless you and your family now and forever. Though I never met you I will miss you... and I will never forget, we all hurt in someway. Peace be with you on your journeys in the next live, your voice and friendship will brighten the heavens.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Brad Delp. To this day his vocals have raised the bar high, and I don't mean just in vocal range, but the quality of his voice and his delivery of lyrics; singers who are serious about their craft will be challenged by his work for years to come. God rest your soul, Brad.

14/03/07: Steve Perry - None@aol.com
What can I say, he was one of my favs and one of the best professionals in the buisness. Makes me think of my own mortality. RIP Brad, we will miss you.

I am so saddened and speechless. Boston's music has meant so much to me and the reason is because of Brad Delp's perfect voice. I have always looked forward to seeing or hearing him sing again. My condolences to his family, friends and bandmates. Thank you Brad for making things a little better for me on earth. You will be painfully missed.

14/03/07: Shawn Perry - stperry@vintagerock.com
I saw Boston three times with Brad Delp and always admired his singing. I also got to meet and talk with him many years ago at a music trade show. He was so friendly and cool, I was a bit surprised. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

This news is both shocking and very sad. There are so many songs of Boston's that I can hear and remember where I was the first time I heard it. Brad's voice is one of a kind... it's pure perfection. My thoughts are with the family and friends in this extremely unfortunate time.

14/03/07: Aurora - aurora@metalangel.us
I am so saddned to hear of Brad's passing. I barely remember a time in my life before hearing his music. His voice always sounded so full of joy and hope, and I think that is what I will remember most. Rest in peace Brad, you will surely be missed.

14/03/07: John Marshall - toto4jm3@aol.com

Boston was the soundtrack to my life. Brad Delp and Steve Perry were the two singers who made me want to be a rock vocalist, and even though that dream never came true, many others did, and Brad's music and voice was always there for me...there were times when I was as down as a man can get, but all I had to do was crank up "More Than a Feeling" or "Hollyann" in my younger days, or "Don't Lead Me On" or "Higher Power" as I've grown older, and I somehow knew everything would be alright. Thanks for the memories...I saw Brad perform live a dozen times at least, and he was better every time...I had the fortune to meet him in the mid 90's, and he was the absolute kindest, most humble, gracious, and laid-back person...the kind of man you'd be lucky to count among your friends. Brad, you will be forever missed. My life will never quite be the same. A summer with a Boston tour was always that much sweeter. As a friend of mine said a few days back, "I never met Brad Delp, but he was a friend of mine". We love you dearly. Goodbye.

14/03/07: Troels - troels67@yahoo.com
We have lost a dear friend and one of rock's finest voices. Brad played an important role to the soundtrack of my own life, and I was fortunate to see him with Boston on the Walk On tour in California in 1995. He will be missed. My condolences to Brad´s family, friends and band mates.

Mis hijos los procreé con Brad como musica de fondo... Mi kids were conceived with Brad in the background...

I'm so sad....

14/03/07: Mick O\'Malley - momalley@bigpond.net.au
Man, what sad news. I'm generally a skeptic and a cynic and fairly unemotional, but, I'm really quite upset. Brad Delp's voice and Tom's guitar were the harmonised instruments that were a central part of the soundtrack to my life from late high-school through to world-travelling and independence. In short, I became a man with their music on in the background. Big ballads, inspirational rock classics and a "big sound" against which, for me, all other music is judged for quality.

If music be an ocean, theirs are the deepest, bluest waters delivering the simple, secret, majestic harmonies in the most powerful, towering, perfectly formed waves. Boston, Brad, you lift me up. RIP.

13/03/07: Matt - herm068@hotmail.com
I was able to see Brad Delp perform with Beatlejuice three times, and every time the performance was amazing, honestly Beatles songs with the voice of Boston singing, amazing. I talked to him at every show and he was nothing short of a gentlemen at each one, he would sign everyone's Cd's and records even when his roadies were telling him to go backstage and take a break, he met everyone even when it took most of his break time away.
Brad you will be greatly missed.

"....gonna hitch a ride, head for the other side,
leave it all behind, never change my mind,
gonna sail away, sun lights another day,
freedom on my mind, carry me away for the last time..."

Magical lyrics from a magical singer, even when the song
required a bit more muscle, Brad Delp always made it sound
flawless and effortless. We should all just be thankful
for the time and love and devotion that Brad brought to
his craft, and we can all consider ourselves blessed to
have been touched by him and the music he selflessly
shared with everyone. RIP.............

13/03/07: Zack A - zack.albright@safety-kleen.com
The passing of Brad Delp has truly saddened me. I can remember me in my room pretending to be Brad Delp singing those classic hits. I feel as if I have lost a friend. I will never forget the Third Stage Tour. I have been to many shows, but none compare to that. Brad and his acoustic guitar at the Starwood Amphitheatre in Nashville, what a memory. Thank you Brad for the memories. Boston, RTZ, and the collaborations with Barry; that is real music. I know that you will be blessed by God.

13/03/07: Brent Handy - brent@projectdamagecontrol.com
I'll never forget that time of my life
I heard your voice the very first time
I was amazed as your harmonies climbed
with powerful grace you reached for the sky

We never met but from what I've read
you were your best on and off the stage
now the truth comes out because of your death
in a time where scandal is all the rage

Goodbye Brad Delp I hope you are safe
safe in the arms of redeeming grace
It's sad enough to hear you're gone
But not to know continues to haunt

13/03/07: Robby - winveek@hotmail.com

My heart is heavy from this awful news, and I still can't seem to stop the tears. The Planet so benefitted from this wonderfully giving and talented human being. Boston's music always seemed to go straight to my heart and soul. And Brad's voice -- I think he healed us all a little bit every time we heard him sing. He will be deeply missed. My sincere sympathies to his fiance', his family and his close friends and comrads. Thank you, Brad Delp, for all you gave to us. Fly high!

13/03/07: ben key - victorfreeze@bellsouth.net
if he ONLY knew just HOW MUCH he meant to me as far as his music and heartfelt lyrics meant to me.I HAVE NO WORDS! TO BRAD. YOUR music and vocals are TIMELESS and i will carry them with mw until the day i die.the song "DONT LOOK BACK"is in my WILL to be played upon my demise and HOPEFULLY then we can "JAM" someday in heaven.IT WILL BE MY HONOR.

13/03/07: Tim Hicks - twhicks@alcoholtest.com
There's no way to express the loss of one of the greatest american singers of our time. Brad's vocals were as essential to Boston's music as Tom's guitars. I know that Brad is giving vocal lessons to the angels as no voice like his could come from anywhere other than heavenly realms.

Brad Delp's voice and the music of Boston has literally been the soundtrack of my life! I rarely listen to anything else. To know that I can never hear Brad sing "More Than A Feeling" live again absolutely pains me to no end! Elvis and John Lennon were of a different generation to me, but now I understand why so many people were affected by their deaths! Even though I never personally met Brad, it feels like I have lost my best friend, a friend that I listen to every day of my life! RIP Brad, and even though you didn't know me, you affected me profoundly, and will continue to do so with your "golden voice!"

13/03/07: Donna in MA - df100@aol.com

Some of my earliest memories of life as a child include Brad Delp and Boston. Every morning my older brother would play More Than a feeling and hence was the song I would awake too. Brad Delp sang songs to us about life, and good times and bad. But every song there was hope. Brad Delp was the Voice of TRUE Rock and Roll. Rest in Peace We will miss you.

Oh man! I am so shocked with this news, I cant believe one of my all time favorite singers have passed away. I just found out today and coincidentally believe it or not yesterday I held a party with family & frinds at my place & I was playing "More than a feeling" & "I had a good time" in my Cd player. I was thinking when do Boston will tour and come down to Mexico City and play live. They have never come down here & I wished for more than I could remember that such a magic event could take place. I cant believe now that we in Mexico will never have the chance to enjoy live one of the greatest voices of rock taking his rightful place in one of the greatest bands on earth. My deepest simpathy to his family, friends, Tom Sholtz and all in Boston. Please Tom, pay tribute to Brad, making available a DVD live Performance of Boston, so all the fans and generations that could never had the chance to see you guys play live together, will have a way to honor, enjoy and remember him & the great musical legacy that you both brought to life together. Rest in peace brother, thankyou for touching so many hearts around the world with your unforgetable voice and talent. God bless you!

As a young man growing up in the 70's, Boston was so much a part of the best,and worst, times in my life. Guided by Brad's voice, it was always uplifting and inspirational. In 87' I saw them live,and remember tears streaming down my face as Brad sang "More Than A Feeling" because it brought back so many memories and touched a part of my soul that I will never forget. Today, as a 40 year old man, I still get the some of these same emotions whenever I hear Brad's voice, and the music of Boston.

12/03/07: Matt Wilson - beatles4ever66@hotmail.com
Brad, you will be missed...your music has been in my collection now for 31 years...wow, seem like just yesterday when "More than a Feeling" came out. All these years later, and I can put the album on and still feel great after a crappy day. Thank you for the music you left for future generations...My condolences to his family & friends. He will be missed.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of Brads family....Brads friends.....this is a tragedy.
I will never forget being picked up at my apartment at 201 West 70th Street by the "Boston" bands limo...on their way to their first concert at Madison Sq. Garden.
My prep school buddy Andy Polin had started a lighting company called POLICO. We wound up doing "Bostons" lights that night at Madison Sq. Garden. WOW! What a night.
It was so special because they were all great guys. Real guys.
Talented, giving, blessed and willing to share with all.
I will never forget their first show that night. We had a fabulous party after the concert at "Tavern on the Green". Ron Delsener, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley...with no make up on....OMG!!!...it was a first.....everyone in the rock industry was there because BRAD and his band were special.
God Bless you....you will always be remembered....you will be loved for all time.....Thank you for sharing your wonderful voice with all of us.
A Big Hug to All of You that Need a Really Big Hug,

Simply one of the greatest voices in the history of classic rock has left us much too early. His voice and songs will last forever. The songwriting partnership of Brad and Tom will never be duplicated. Phil Lynott, John Bonham, Randy Rhoads, and Jimi Hendrix have finally got a singer for the band.

SuperBowl Sunday Feb. 4th, found me lying on the floor of my bathroom unable to move, after an incredible pain ripped through my body a moment before.

I don't know how long I lay there, until I found the strength to move, then got myself dressed, knew I was in serious trouble, but calculated that by the time I called 911 and an ambulance got here, I could already be at the hospital two exits away on the highway, getting help. So I got into the car and began to drive.

I was trying not to panic, but my body was telling me that something bad was happening inside me. I had accidentally cleared my iPod, so I couldn't listen to the most inspirational song I usually have on it; the one I listened to to make it through the day, to remind me that I can not only survive, but I can succeed.

So to keep myself calm, and my spirits up, I hummed and listened to the words in my head, of Bradley Delp singing "Dont' Look Back" to the sounds of Boston's phenomenal guitars.

I made it to the hospital and they did two open heart surgeries just hours later and saved my life. Only 1 in 10 survive what I had. And the E.R. and the hospital staff were completely floored to hear that I had driven myself there.

There is NO WAY on Heaven and Earth that I could have held on long enough without the power of Brad's singing urging me on.

I had to live with family, and was unable to drive for weeks, and had just been given approval to drive again, and move back to my apartment. Excitedly, I moved back into my apartment on Friday and no sooner got my laptop back on the wireless network... and then I saw the news about Brad.

Just Absolutely Devastating...

Brad, you saved my life...
I only wish I could have saved yours.

God Bless you and may you rest in Peace.

A legendary voice like yours rarely comes around. We have all been blessed to have experienced your amazing vocals. May you rest in peace, and may the Good Lord bless you and your family during this difficult time. You will be missed more than words can say.

Boston has been a part of my life for more than 20 years. I still can't believe that the next show won't feature you on vocals. The band will not be the same without you. As I sit here listening to Hollyann I can't help but get lost in the song. You WILL be missed.

12/03/07: Patti - boston44@att.net
I am so glad that I was able to meet you during the last tour. You were so gracious and signed everything that I handed to you. You have meant so much to me over the years, and I am going to miss you so much. I am so sad and have a very heavy heart. When times were hard, I listened to you. Who do I listen to now? I can't stop crying and I just want to scream. I pray that you are with GOD and that you are singing for HIM. I LOVE YOU BRAD DELP!!

I was shocked to hear about Brad's passing. My condolences to Tom and the rest of the band, as well as Brad's family and friends. He will never be forgotten.

12/03/07: Brian - racer@bellsouth.net
To me, Brad and Boston have always defined music. They have always been there during my life's ups and downs. Brad, you were the best vocalist, but your legacy will be your humbleness and down to earth nature. RIP brother. My deepest condolences to Brad's family, bandmates, and fellow fans.

12/03/07: Charles Farnsworth - kingston37@yahoo.com
I was born in 1967, which put 1976 right smack dab in the midst of my early development and appreciation for music. Yeah, sure the live album from Peter Frampton was cool. And yeah, sure, Jeff Lynne orchestrated some good tunes in E.L.O's 1977 album. And of course, Lou Graham's Foreigner and Steve Perry's Journey were right there. But, my God, Brad Delp's incredible vocal range, tone, and inflections were so unbelievable that he was simply on another level. With Boston, it was the whole package. Never before had Rock and roll combined all the elements of heavy metal guitars...(seemingly space age and way ahead of their time)... with such melodic rhythms and harmonies. With all due respect to mastermind Tom Sholz and the other guys in Boston, it was Brad Delp who blasted the group out of orbit in their debut album. And it was Brad Delp who kept resurecting the group throughout the years. I kick myself for missing Boston when they went on tour to promote the third stage album in 1986. Even though I have heard the news over and over and over again, I am not yet ready to accept Brad's passing. Just let me be in denial awhile longer. Brad, there will always be the supposed heir apparant, but anything less than Brad Delp is simply a wanna be pretender. You were simply the best, and I will personally miss you greatly. Thanks for the childhood memories.

In 1977 I camped out to purchase tickets to see my favorite band in Atlanta on January 11th. I was 3rd in line and got 5th row center stage tickets. It was great! About 4 years ago, I took my 18 year old son to see my favorite band...nothing had changed about the magic of that voice. Yes maybe as Brad admitted, a little older and the range not quite what it was in '77, but the magic was still there. My son left the concert having heard music and seen a group that will last as "fresh" for the rest of my life and he clearly knows what good music really is. I had just heard last Saturday that Boston would be in Atlanta this summer and my 19 year old daughter who loves the music was going with me. I'm really sorry that she will miss those golden vocals live, but as I inserted the debut album CD today and "closed my eyes and slipped away" to 1977 all over again, I'm grateful that we have such clear reminders of his talent. He will be missed...

12/03/07: Howie - howhaw@cox.net
Brad was in a league by himself in and industry that can be very egotistical. He was gracious and friendly to all not to mention the gift of his voice that with the music of Boston will live forever and will continue to have a positive effect an all that continue to listen to it. Thank you Brad Delp for sharing your gift. God Bless you and your family.

12/03/07: Andy Hall UK - andyhall@greatwhite.freeserve.co.uk
A real blow. Boston have always been one of my all time favourites, with Brad's superb vocals and Tom's characteristic guitar licks. I had just heard the rumour that Boston were to play Europe this year.....a dream come true as I missed them in '79. Unfortunately this will now never happen. I hope Brad is now at peace in Rock n' roll heaven, with all the other greats.

12/03/07: Jeff G - jeffg81@yahoo.com

Words cannot describe the sense of loss I have since finding out about your passing. I grew up listening to your amazing voice and was even more satisfied to find out what a truly kind man you were. May your family find peace in this sad time. Your music will love forever!

A voice form heaven is back in heaven again! Since Boston never toured Holland (The Netherlands) it has always been my dream to check them out in the States one day. I have loved Boston's music for 23 years, especially when Brad's voice was heard on their albums. Rust in vrede! (Rest In Peace)

I just want to say that Brad invented an entire new style of singing Rock songs that had not been done yet and set the bar higher "in range and literally" that it had ever been set before.

12/03/07: Daniel T. - asiaaura@yahoo.com
I've talked with Brad on many occasions, and to say I miss him is an understatement. Brad was the opitemy of 'not your average rock star'. He always took the time to talk to people and was great about signing autographs. A very kind-hearted person, the tone of his voice was endearing as he was a sincere individual. I'll never forget the memories of watching, and hearing, Brad's immense talents. Brad, thank you for the countless memories, my friend!!

I never saw Boston live, but the band was a fine display of classic rock talent, from Brad's vocals to Tom's guitar playing...songwriting was great too. Fifty-five years of age seems young to die, my thoughts are wtih those who knew him personally. His contribution to rock history has definitely left its mark.

12/03/07: Fellow New Englander - reobrotherhood@aol.com
I have been very down the last few days as this is sinking in. I had the golden, once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Brad at a New Hampshire Record show a few years back. The neat thing about it was that the newspaper put in the wrong date for his appearence, so no one showed up on Saturday, they were all waiting for Sunday's show to meet Brad., I didn't know Brad was going to be there or anything, I was just going on Saturday as I would always do. So when I arrived, I was just a little bit shocked when I see the lead singer of Boston standing near the dj. I had to stare at him for 10 mintues wondering if that was really him or someone that looks like him. Then I see someone with a Boston album and asking him to sign it. So, I wasn't ready for this. So I asked how long he would be there, I then left and went up to Strawberries Records and bought an RTZ cd and one of each of Boston's. I get back, there are only a few of us there, so we were treated like royalty. Brad signed ALL of my cds, plus a couple magazines that I found at the show. We talked with each other for about a half hour, I mean, just him and me, no one else. Hence my email address, I am a major REO Speedwagon Fan, and I had an REO t-shirt on, and he we started talking about lead singer Kevin Cronin. Brad said that he has always had respect for Kevin, and loved his voice. He also said that he would listen to REO once in a while in the early 70's. He said that he has met him a few times when they would play a "shed" together once in while. A shed must be like an outdoor concert facility or something. Meanwhile, with all of this going on, the dj had a scratched up old Boston self titled lp going on the turntable. You could hear all the cracks and pops, plus it was pretty old and so were the speakers. Brad said "Listen, I love that sound, reminds me of the '70's". We had coffee and just a good time as if we were close friends, even if only for a half hour. Being from Maine, I have had several opportunities to see Boston live. They played 7 sold out shows at the Worcester Centrum in 1987, I went to all of those. I just seen them here in Maine a couple years ago and was looking forward to this year's tour as talks were going on for a Boston and REO Speedwagon Summer Tour Package, which, for me, would have been the ultimate dream concert. Sorry so long, I just had to tell someone about that. RIP Brad, You are already missed and will never be fogotten. Thank You.

There are only a few instantly recognizable voices in rock and roll. Brad's was one. More than that, he was an example of what a good human being is. We should all take a lesson from the legacy that was this man's life. Rock on Brad.

I just wanted Brad's family and friends to know I never thought this day would come, soooo unexpectedly. One word I’d like to add to describe is Brad Delp is a True gentleman. One of many Boston concerts I attended was in 1988 in Seattle with friends who were not that much of a fan of Boston. Anyway, since 1977 I have had personalized license plates here in Montana which reads BOSTON, I brought two expired plates to the concert just in case we had a chance to meet up with the band. After the concert we tried to get back stage and get the band to sign the plates, but it was Max or Jim Collins (the road manager) who said to go in the back where the are loading up in the cars. We went around back and there were some of the band members signing autographs and the cars were running. As the rest of the band climbed into the vehicles Brad was the last (of course) to load up, one of the crew with the band crabbed two of our plates and said maybe he could try to get an autograph for us. He than ran towards the waiting vehicle, and after two minutes he returns with both plates one plate had all the band’s autographs and the other one only had Brad’s autograph. I gave that plate to my friend and he has had it ever since, and has been a better fan too. Thank you family and friends for sharing Brad with us! R.I.P. Bradley Delp
