Words are not enough to describe the loss I feel with Brads passing,keep walkin" on my friend.A fan for 30+ years I was lucky to see them 2 times,and just last June in Phx with DeCarlo,great job Tommy!
It has been quite awhile since Brad decided to take his own life. I don't know why his death in particular still hits me hard to this day. Probably because I have been such a fan since Boston began. Most people would say "Get over it already", but for whatever I haven't been able to. I am still left with the question of "Why". Depression is a very complex thing and even for someone who seemlingly had everything going for him. The best thing anyone that has suicidal tendencies is to get help. Never give up and never believe for one second that you are alone. I so wish Brad would have known that and could have gotten help because I think he still had so much more to offer.
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!!
wow man i have been listening to boston since i was 3 in 1985 i had heard that someone from boston had died but i did not know it was the singer man what a shock he had some pipes man my favorite song was peace of mind it got me through the day when i was having a bad one thankyou brad for being there since i was 3 you were and are an inspiration to me i sing your songs to my 1 year old daughter they are her lullabys
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.
Every since i was a kid, boston has been one of my favorite bands of all time,i just love to hear brad sing.The best voice in the history of music brad delp.my you rest in peace brad your in my prayers
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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........
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
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.
Ted Hackett
It was New Haven, CT, 1978, my first concert ever. Boston had just come out with their second album. I will never forget it! Brad, you will be missed, but you will live on in that great music you and Boston gave us. RIP!
Adieu, Brad. Nous t'aimons.
Luck wherever your soul is, man, you are a legend.
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 am somewhat at a loss for words here...Its as if I have lost a part of myself....of my life...I love and respect you as a brother...and the gifts you have given me...will last me a lifetime...if i could play my guitar i would.....but i am forever missing your presence Brad.....
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
This is indeed quite a shock but like the article says, only those who have depression know what a dark cloud it places over your life. Rest In Peace Brad. You will be missed...
Thank you for the music Brad.
We will hear you're voice until we each and all will follow you one day.
Thank you, Brad, for the wonderful music and memories. Peace to you and all your loved ones. I'll miss you dearly.
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.
John Pine
As a guitar player I've always admired great singers, do I need to say more?. God bless you Brad
Steve H
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!
I am a french fan of Brad. He was a great artist and I enjoy his voice very much. This is very sad.
Brad, you gave us more than a feeling!
Thank you for that.
Your music and voice stays on forever!
I'm crying for his lost...what a singer & voice... I was studing In Berkeley in '96 , They play in SF two month after I left the city to come back to Spain. I remenber many times wishing seeing Boston playing live.
I wish that is in heaven with a lots of great lost musicians jamming. My deepest condolonce to his family & bandmates.
A Rock & Roll Icon...we were so blessed to have such a voice among us.I was so shocked to hear that he had taken his own life...
This is what happens when you have so many menefregs' around you.
Rest In Peace
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.
"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.
just been out and bought Boston's 'Greatest Hits' just had to !
what a voice Brad Delp had, should have graced many more album's than he actually did. R.I.P. Brad.
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!!!
My deepest regrets for the loss of one the brightest voice of all times. A hero, for me. I'll miss you Brad, may your soul shine brighter than ever.
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.........
you gave me a lot of good times in memories throu out the years i and my brother that had met you and barry several times in ma. and nh. will miss you ! please say hi to my mom brad when you get to thar great stage .she passed away 3yrs ago . dont be afraid she will be your friend. sing her a song ;dont look back, may be. i will have you in my prayers and thoughts every day . i guess you finelly found your pease of mind . see you when i my self hithe a ride. rip! 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...
Guido/ My Land's singer
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!
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.
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.
09-03 my birthday. I,ll miss you brad, you´ll always stay here
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..
All I can say is what a HUGE loss for 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.
The world has lost its greatest rock and roll singer. What an unexpected, devastating blow. Thank you for the music Brad.
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,
Diane
Long Live Rock & Roll,see ya very soon my friend.
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.
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!
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.
Brad Delp=god of 70's rock vocalists. God bless you man, we all miss you!!!!!!
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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. :(
Brad was one of the greatest voices in Rock-N-Roll . He will surely be missed. God Bless him and his entire family.
GREAT EMOTIONS & GREAT SINGER . GOD BLESS YOU .
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!!
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....
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.
May Brad rest in peace and may his family find peace as well. We love you Brad...see you up there with Jimi, Jim, Buddy, Stevie, Janis and the rest...
thanks for the good music and inspiration
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................
Boston's debut was one of the first records that got me into rock music. It is still one of the best ever. Rest in peace Brad, condolences to your family and friends.
One off the best rock singer i've ever eard . i'm listening to you since 30 years , and it will continue . rest in peace in paradise . bye from Paris .
We will miss you Brad, thank you for the music and your voice that got me into a music genre call rock and roll, a genre which i have been loving since i was in middle school and heard Boston's Greatest hits. You will always inspire me and many others. RIP
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.
One of the best Rocksinger has left us, but his songs will never die. All the best for his family.
Thanks for the music Brad, you've been a voice inside my head for 30 years now and long will that continue. Sing on in heaven, rest in peace.
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 never saw Boston here in europe but i now never wil see them with Brad.Sunday I listen too all boston cd's and monday i listen too RTZ the other band were Brad sings too remind him.Mine thougts go too the family and bandmates of Brad.I will mis you Brad.R.I.P Brad
Brad voice touched my soul, as it did countless others. I am very sorry to hear of this loss, and I hope it helps to know that he touched so many people in ways few others will ever do. Brad and his music will surely never be forgotten.
R.I.P Brad Delp
You will 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...
Brad, his voice and his legacy will remain in our hearts. My deepest condolences to the family and friends and fans who were moved so much by this man's life and art.
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!
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"..
brad rest easy now
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'.
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.
Zander
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.
R.I.P Big Man, Your voice took us to a happy place in our hearts and minds that will never fade and may you find your peace of mind in heaven. You will never be forgotten
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
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.
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.
you were one of a kind. you will be missed.
some people are irreplaceable.
shattered,
I/Ø
Thanks Brad for all your beautiful work. You are missed already. Say hello to Jesus for me and enjoy singing with him.
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.
HEAVEN JUST ADDED ONE AMAZING VOICE TO IT'S CHOIR!
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.
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.
Another great original, gone- you will be missed!
I just want to say that the band BOSTON was a cool old 80's band
and sorry to have hears about BRAD'S passing he will be missed a great guy never seen or met him or the band but i know that he'll be missed for the DELP family keep in your hearts he was a great guy take care your fan CHRIS peace to all of 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.
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.
You are unforgettable.
One of the great voices in Rock history... I can't tell you how much I'll miss having Brad on this earth. His voice and performances are a part of me. I hope you are happy in your higher place, my friend. You live on with all of your fans!
One of the nicest guys I have ever met. I am saddened as if an immediate member of my family passed away. I have listened to Boston since I was about 9 and I am 39 now. The greatest vocalist I have ever seen perform as well as listened to all these years. God bless you Brad, now you are singing in heaven RIP. David in Boston Ma
its a great loss in rock music, so sorry to delps family and friends. i saw boston in 97 at the pond (anaheim,ca),one of the best shows ever.many great songs that brad sang in boston, god be with the family at this time.
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.
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.
Saddened so much at a life taken too soon, but happy to know you are in a place better than all of us are in right now. RIP, Brad, and may God shower your family and friends with love and comfort.
One of the greatest vocalist is gone now,
Brad, RIP
Thanks Brad for all the great songs....You will be deeply missed.....
The world doesn't have many GREAT Vocalists...
You were ome of The GREATEST Vpices the world had..
Your Work will be remembered forever...
BOSTON was (without you) missing a piece of the puzzle and will now NEVER be the same without you...
Heaven now has another GREAT Rocker while Earth has lost another LEGEND...
May you R.I.P....
Brad you were one of the kind.A real good singer. Probabily i have heard you in my turntable a million times.Never got tired of listening to you.
You were like an old friend to me.When we thought everything was lost in the late 70s to disco crap. Boston came along and saved the day.
You will be missed

Wow! I grew up on Boston. Brad will be missed. Rest in peace. You will never be forgotten!! May the Lord be enjoying your tunes right now! You truely had a purpose on this earth. Thank you!
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.
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.
Troels Rasmussen, Denmark.
Mis hijos los procreé con Brad como musica de fondo... Mi kids were conceived with Brad in the background...
I'm so sad....
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.
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.............
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.
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
Brad, R.I.P. I became a man with the songs of Boston and your outstanding voice, thank you!!
My condolences goes out to his family, friends and his fans all over the world. I will miss you
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!
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.
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 was a true inspiration in our lives. Our condolences to the family. Our prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.
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!"
Brad will be truly missed by so many of his fans...such a shame...Boston residents and his fans are dealing with a loss beyond words..my heart goes out to his family...
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.
My hearts broken - Boston is absolutely the greatest band, period. Ofcourse Brad was an intricate part. Brad you wil be dearly missed. My condolences to your family and friends. God Bless!!
This is very very sad to hear and know about a "Great Lead Singer" who had just passed away well before his time.My deepest and heart felt condolences to the "Delp's family and to his "Boston" bandmates. This is truly a sad time in "Rock-N-Roll".May he rest in peace!!!!
those Boston albums and Brad's voice in particular are in the fabric of my childhood and my formative years as a musician.To this day, if I want to be inpired musically or if I just want to remenber the "good ol' days",I just pop on that 1st Boston album.Brad will be missed. R.I.P."Man with the Golden Voice.
Dude -- Remember the 3rd Stage tour, when they played the album start to finish. That was AWESOME. Hitch a ride, my brother.....hitch a ride.
I was deeply saddened by the news of Brad's untimely death. Brad Delp was a legend and his contributions to musical history will be remembered for years to come. Rest in Peace, Brad.
This hits hard! Brad was an incredible talent with the voice of an Angel. He was unique. I have followed Boston since there debut and had the opportunity to interview Brad while in RTZ. The memory I take is one of the nicest down-to-earth guys in ROCK. Zero ego. He will be missed. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
Rock & roll will never be the same with out you Brad. Say hello jimi and janis for me.
Not really knowing what to say is hard for me. Brad was a great singer and Boston is a great band. I beleive that Brad would want the band to move forward. But please if you do keep the dream alive for the fans and lovers of a great band. Brad you will always be part of the Legecy. Don't Look Back! RIP! Such a great loss for all in the music world.
He was great vocalist. I'll never forget his songs and voice. Rest in peace.
My condolences to brads family, I feel so sad about the news of one of the biggest singer's of the planet. I had the chance to get an autogragh from Brad when he came to Puerto Rico with RTZ. We will Miss You, God Bless.
Brad, you were just the best. May you rest in peace. See you in Heaven. God bless you.
Sad, sad news! One of the greatest vocalists in these world is not longer between use. Rest in peace Brad!
Boston's first album is one of the greatest albums of all time and will serve as a lasting tribute to a superb singer. RIP
Very sad news. Thanks for the music, thanks for the great feelings.
My sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends and bandmates...we lost a great legend monument !!!
____Rest in peace brad you were the best____
May God bless his soul. He will be dearly missed. His music will forever be with us. Thanks for the good times friend!!!!!
May God bless his soul. He will be dearly missed. His music will forever be with us. Thanks for the good times friend!!!!!
From the next year edition the legendary Lex Award "best singer of the year" will be renamed as "Brad Delp Award-singer of the year".
Thank you, Brad...you will be missed.Condolences to family and friends.
" I looked out this morning and the sun was gone...............
To me, Brad and Boston have always defined music! Brad, one of the greatest voices in the history of rock.
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.

BRAD DELP YOU MIGHT BE GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN (REST IN PEACE)
Thanks for giving the absolute best in music......you will never know how it affects people's lives in such a positive way. Rest In Peace Brad Delp.....and "Peace of Mind" to you........
I played BOSTON'S first album for my eight year old son (Matthew) just this passed year. Overnight they became one of his favorite bands, and Brad one of his favorite singers. He asked me if we could go see them in concert sometime so he could hear "that leader singer" live. He was the first person I told after hearing the news of Brad's death.
REST IN PEACE THANKS FOR YOUR VOICE AND HEART HUMANITARY
And
Feelin' the way I do
Wouldn't last a mile without you
When I'm losin' the way, the things that you say
Take me there
My destination
My destination
Is by your side
Right by your side

Never had so far to go

That takes you there

It's here inside, right here inside
ANGEL CHAVEZ
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!
Brad, thank you for the memories and the phenomenal melodies that poured forth so effortlessly from deep within you; you will truly be missed!!
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.
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.
Boston was and is my solstice for an otherwise turbulant world. I will miss Brad and the very essence of Boston. My mind is sad and heart is heavy.
cuando uno menciona el nombre de Brad Delp, inmediatamente te transportas a esa increible epoca de los 70's y ese revolucionario sonido de Boston, y sin duda la increible voz de este hombre que hizo historia, lo vamos a hechar de menos, descanse en paz Brad Delp.
We were very saddened to hear of Brad Passing... Many of us got to meet Brad... He seemed to always make time for the fans...
Boston set a standard for many Bands both Rock and Metal alike...
We also wish we could do more then say we express our condolences...
So we simply say Thanks to Brad for all you gave and may you be rocking the Heavens along with the many others we have loss in such a short time...

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,

I still cant believe this has happened. It gives me that heavy chest and lump in throat just thinking about it. You will be missed. You were truly one of the best R.I.P. Bradley
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.
God bless you brother i know your are rocking in heaven.
I will never forget when my friend turned 8 years old back in 76 and one of his presents was Boston's 1st record. Man, when we put that record on that entire party lit up. Brad's voice grabbed you in such a way that you HAD to pay attention. Brad, we'll miss you buddy. Boston's music and your legacy will never be forgotten......
Brad ... You said it best," Boogie tonight...... Just keep on tokin!!!!!"
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.
What a sad time..Brad Delp was one of my fav singers..was hoping to see them on tour soon...I remember the first time I heard the first Boston album back when if first came out..now that was magic!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Soaring high, reaching for the moon and touching souls, your voice brings one in the comfort of angels. You will be sorely missed and condolences to your family, friends and bandmembers. More than a feeling lingers on...

You were with many of us through our life. we close our eyes and find ourselves in that wonderful atmosphere created by you and your friends. I think this is More than a Feeling, we will never be Used to the Bad News, I feel like the Rain Down on Me, we know There's Another Side and this is The Launch for you to find a Higher Power. Don't Look Back, this is a time for you to form a new Rock & Roll Band, take that voice and spirit to Heaven, make them smile just like you do with each one of us. Thaks for your music, thanks for your voice, thanks for your spirit.
May Rest in Peace Brad Delp
brad youll be missed dont look back
(fayetteville n.c.)i can imagine my teenage youth without your vocals.the band boston was such a big part of my memories may god take care of you brad
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...
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.
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.
Brad.
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!
Gone but not forgotten.
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.
Dear Brad,
your preformance has always moved my heart & soul and so it will in the future.
R.I.P.
Your spirit will last forever
Thomas from Germany
Now I am going to try to get my mitts on every single recording that wonderful man has ever been on.
I will miss that voice so much it hurts.
I hope Steve Perry is in good health! Don't want to lose anymore voices like that.
brad very well could have been the greatist vocalist in rock and roll,and a great loss to every true rock fan.
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!!
My best to Brad's family...to me Brad had such a beautiful uniqueness to his voice, and yet didn't seem to have an big ego while performing.
I worshipped Boston, I adored Brad's vocals. I grew up with Boston. Brad will be sadly SADLY missed. God bless and RIP.
such sad news.such an amazing voice.his music played a big part in my life.my thoughts go out to his family.REST IN PEACE.
To Brad's family, friends, fans and bandmates, I am truly sorry to hear of Brad's passing. He definitely influenced many singers and bands of yesterday and today. I have many wonderful memories tied to the melodic music of Boston and that music, like all good music, will live on forever.
Cheers from Texas,
Matt
The world has lost one of the best voices of music history. We will miss him. May he rest in peace.
I am extremely saddened by this news. R.I.P. Brad. We will miss you very much.
i don't know what to say,i love is voice,he is giant and always be.boston third stage was the first time i hear is voice and i get crazy with those vocal harmonies.i have all his records.wherever you are now ,your music always shine for us to carry on the business called life.thank you from portugal
TO ALL OF US IN CHICAGO OVER 30 ,TOM'S GUITAR AND BRAD'S VOICE WERE A PART OF OUR YOUTH AND STILL A PART OF OUR LIVES . REST EASY .
Thanks for all the great music, Brad. I pray that you are eternally safe with God. Your fan and friend, Lec Zorn
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.
Sad sad day, one of my all time favourite voices in rock has passed his soul to heaven, R.I.P Brad and let your wonderful voice be heard up there.
Brad was one of those singers that could not be replicated. His music has inspired me through the years. And I intend on playing his music for many years to come. RIP Brad......thank you for the great music!
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.
To Brads family i am sorry to hear of the loss of a great rock and roll legend whos music has stood the test of time and will still be played worldwide.Great singer full stop.
Saturday morning was very sad as i read Brad was gone.
Your voice will always live on in the first 3 Boston records wich i must have played hundreds of times.
RIP and and may your family find peace in this difficult time.
Dag Norway
Boston was my second show, live, in Paris way back in 79'. 400 shows later, still on my top 5 to date and it's more than a feeling...
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.

Wow. What a smack in the face. RIP Brad, and all my thoughts to his family.
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
As were so many other fans, I was shocked when I heard of the news...my very heaviest condolences, and if there is any of his family, well wishes to them, and speedy healing. 3/12/2007 @ 1:05 P.M. E.D.T.
Brad, thanks for being such a great influence and inspiration. I will never forget the experiences of seeing you and Boston live in Texas. Always Smokin and leaving us fans Feelin Satisfied! RIP brother.
We've lost one of the greatest singers of all time who has influenced many great bands!! My deepest Sympathy goes out to Brad's family and bandmates. Brad may you rest in peace.
Very sad to read that this great artist has passed away.
R.I.P Brad!!!
Wow, I was surprised when I heard the news.
I grew up listening to Boston,seen them in concert at Alpine Valley W.I. They were GREAT !!! My condolences go out to Brads Family & Friends. Brad will be missed.

El mejor lugar para demostrar el talento de un artista definitivamente es "Live on stage" y Brad siempre estuvo a la altura de ese reto. Brad...Que voz!!. Tu música nos inspiro en muchos aspectos: desde lo sentimental hasta lo profesional, pero lo mas importante...Tu musica siempre vivirá en nosotros.
You where a pleasure to listen to.R.I.P.BRAD.
I bought Boston's first album in a head shop/record store called Middle Earth in Round Lake Illinois when I was ten years old. It was the first rock album I ever bought. I also got to see the Third Stage tour at Alpine Vally in Wisconsin. Brad will always be known as one of the greatest rock voices EVER! Blessing's to all Brad's family and friends
The first concert I ever attended was Boston on Halloween night in Philly 1978. Brad Delp's voice was magic and the music has had such a positive influence on my life. Brad will most definitely be missed.
I'm a long time fan of your work, your music, your voice. May God bless you and your family.
REST IN PEACE....condolences to the family, you are missed; thank you for GREAT music through the years.
Wow - grew up on Boston - played the first album so much the grooves on the vinyl turned color. Got to see the band live in Nashville in mid-90's finally. True entertainment one of the best groups ever - both live and on record. So sad to hear about Brad. My thoughts and prayers to the family and the rest of the group. May God bring you peace and comfort.
By far, the most versatile and sweetest voices in rock. When I listen to those albums, I am mesmerized that all of those soaring voices are one guy. Brad Delp was just amazing.
See you in heaven Brad...
Your music will live forever...
R.I.P.
R.I.P Brad ,our loss is heaven´s gain
What a bummer. Another great rock legand has left us.
What an awesome vocalist he was. May he R.I.P.
My heart goes out to his family and his friends.
And of course his band mates. Best wishes to you all.
Take care.
Brad had one of the most original and best tenor voices in the business. His voice was so versatile, he could sing anything. He helped Boston become one of the biggest bands in the world.
Condolences to his beloved family - forever remembered and never
forgotten.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Brad's friends and family . He was an amazing person and will be loved and missed forever.
I guess we can say that Brad now has a truly heavenly voice that will be missed on this little rock we call earth.
i too would like to extend my personal feelings and loss to Brad Delp's family as i too have such good memories of listening for hours on end to BOSTON'S music.not a day goes by that i don't hear a tune from BOSTON being play over the airwaves or on satellite radio like XM or SIRIUS and when it does i get chills down my back and it just takes me back.his vocals were soooooooo soothing to hear and TOM SHOLTZ'S guitar playing made it the perfect combination.it will be a great loss forever in the history of rock.BRAD DELP,I SALUTE YOU MY FRIEND & MAY YOU ALWAYS Rock In Paradise!!!!! cause i know you'll always have PEACE OF MIND:).
A true Rock N' Roll Legend! His voice always carries me back to simpler times and will be sorely missed.
The gold standard for rock singers. There is no one else even close. You are missed Brad, there will never be another.
Wow. Where to start...
My heart goes out to Brad's family. We all know Brad by his music. They know him as their Dad and fiance. Brad is in a better place making music with his idols and they have one heck of a new lead singer.
"No matter what the inspiration
There's always something on the line
So don't squander what you're given
Make the most of precious time
Life's not only for the living
It's what you leave behind"
Thanks Brad for leaving behind awesome memories and songs. All your fans miss you.

One of my ALL-TIME favourite singers and a benchmark against which all rock singers are measured. I just wish I'd had the chance to see you live here in the UK.
R.I.P. Brad... and don't forget to join that amazing 'Rock n Roll Band' up in heaven...!!
I am truly saddened by the passing of Brad Delp. His voice was instantly recognizable and was engrained in the memory of just about every fan of rock music in the last 30 plus years. The songs were so amazing and timeless that 100 years from now Brad's voice will still be heard. May he R.I.P.
While I didn't know Brad personally, I must say that it's a true loss for the world of rock, as Boston certainly has made it's mark, and hopefully will continue to make its mark. Condolences out to Brad's family and friends.....I'm sure there are many.
One of the greatest rock singers ever - RIP.
Brad has joined the greatest band in heaven and when it's my time I look forward to hearing his melodic voice along with John Lennon.
When one of your favorite musicians dies, you lose that anticipation you constantly have to hear more and more new material from them. It's sad to know we will not be blessed with any more music from Brad. As a singer, Brad set the bar high for all of us, and his legacy will go on forever. His vocals gave each Boston song he sang a certain signature that helped define it. RIP
How sad. I just recently bought Boston´s latest cd from few years back and Brad`s vocals was still in shape. I´m sure he could have given us lots of more musical enjoyment if he had not died this early. And "more than a feeling" is probably the best AOR-song of all time.
Boston were almost the first melodic rock band
i listened to since the Amanda times and now i think
that a piece of rock hystory left this world.

Still so hard to believe. Brad was one of the greatest voices in rock and his spirit will live with us through his music, which brought so much joy to all of us. Thank you. God bless you. RIP Brad.
Brad had the best voice in rock and his songs served as the soundtrack of my younger years.
My condolences to family and friends. Brad will be missed by more people than you'll ever know.
Boston. A band whose songs I have listened to for years, but never seen live. To hear that Brad has died is devastating for us fans but moreso for loved ones & the band...particularly Tom.
My heartfelt condolences to them all and to let them know we are thinking of them all at this time and somehow they will get through it.
"I have just read this on your site that Brad Delp has passed away. This is very poignant to me as I created the artwork for the Delp and Gouldreau - Lost and Found album. It's always sad to hear of someone of such talent passing in the music industry and my thoughts tonight are with him and his family. Rest in peace... he will forever be remembered for his contribution to music."
I am deeply saddened by the loss of one of the most distinctive voices in rock-n-roll. Brad is irreplaceable. Brad's voice and Tom's guitar are the Boston sound that has meant a great deal to me through my life. A 1978 concert in Cleveland was the first one my Dad ever took me to and Boston's debut album was my first ever C-D purchase after having warn-out the l-p's. Brad, you will be missed. :(
Rock and Roll certainly has lost one of it's most prominant and cherished voices. Thank you for all the incredible music through the years, I will cherish it for the rest of my life. YOUR candle went out long before....your voice ever will! May you rest in peace.
What a shame...a great singer and a very nice guy! Delivered every song as if it was his last!!!!
The news of the loss of the heavenly voice and spirit of Brad Delp comes as a shock to music fans around the world. As the weather begins to break here in the northeast the thoughts of a summer concert season that was to include Boston had all of us brimming with excitement. The NIGHTLIFE Rock Report would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Brad and his family, friends, and bandmates. PEACE and Harmonies, Ross CAT
I had the honor of meeting Brad once, and he was the most down to earth, nicest guy anyone could know. Thanks for the feelings and the great music.
I am very sorry about the news. I am glad to have seen you perform the last time through this area and glad that some of my kids got to see you also. Thank you for your work and my condolonces to all of your family and close friends.
It was so sad to hear of the loss of brad. He was a huge influence to me with his clear high vocals. First time I heard him I was in awe of that voice. It is a voice that will be missed for a long time. All the best to his family during this difficult time.
WOW....What a voice! A voice that to this day still sends chills down my back! I still can't believe he's gone...it only seems like yesterday when I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Delp after a RTZ show in Cleveland, OH. and remembering what an awesome individual/human being he was to talk to that night. Brad Delp will always remain one of my all time favorite vocalists in the soundtrack of my life! Condolences and Prayers to his family...we all know he is singing w/ the angels!
Like everyone else here, I was extremely (and still am) saddened by this news. Brad was such an amazing talent, and his voice made the hair on my arms stand straight up. My prayers, feeling and thoughts are with Brad's family and friends.
Thank you Brad for the lifetime of awesome music.
Thanks Brad for the great tunes, beautiful vocals and inspiration. Sing with the Angels, man...
Brad Delp was the epitome of Rock! No vocals compare before or since. Heaven's Rockin' tonite! RIP. You will be sorely missed.
Words cannot express what an influence Brad Delp was on my early musical inspirations. My prayers are with his family, friends and fellow bandmates. God Bless Brad Delp.
It's always the nice guys, isn't it?! What a voice...what a guy.
He'll be sadly missed....BRAD R.I.P.
one of the greastest voices in the world of rock. my heart and prayers go out to his family and all of my fellow boston fans. He is and will contiune to be greatly missed. Thanks Brad for the gift you gave us.
Brad helped us for all the years in Rockbizz with his great voice and heart. R.I.P. We miss you.
Whenever i buy new audio equipment:ie, cd player,headphones, speakers,whatever. Boston is the first music played thru it. It started WAY back with the first Boston album and continues some 30 years later. YOU WILL BE MISSED!
I am in shock,I saw Boston 4 nights out of 5 when they played in London
and i was amazed at Brad's voice,so much so that i tried in vain to imitate him with my own band,latterly when there was little Boston output i was able to enjoy him with R.T.Z.and he never ceased to amaze.
We have lost a master vocalist,may he have peace of mind.
I'ts very sad news and I feel totally empty inside,because Brad
was one of the greatest singer in the world and he has inspired
me so much in my own way to sing!Of course my condolences goes to his family.May you rest in peace.
RIP Brad ... another legend gone but your music touched the hearts of so many ... what a legacy
Deepest sympathy to family and friends
Rock on my friend xx
The most moving, inspirational voice ever.
A tragic loss of a true spirit.
you were pure class brad i will never forget your voice..

Wonderful music, wonderful man. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
Rest In Peace Brad, Your local talents gave all of us, more than a feeling!
Your contribution to music will live on forever, you will be greatly missed :(
One of the very few guys in rock music who deserved to be called a real singer.
"Boston" and "Don't look back" will always have a special place in my record collection.
My deepest condolences to his family and close friends.
Rest in peace dear friend
I know, God liked your voice so much that He wanted you by His side ,to sing and to be with Him for ever and ever...
Rest in peace,Brad
I will always remember that day around 1980 when my uncle introduced me to Boston... I have been hooked ever since. Brad was one of the definig voice of the golden age of AOR. One word and you knew it was him singing.... It's a very sad day for music. Brad Delp was unique. Thanks for the music ! RIP. Laurent
You will always be the man with the golden voice thank you for your inspiration.
Acompaño en el sentimiento a los familiares y a todos los amigos y fans de Mr.Delp. Espero que ahora deleites con tu voz a todos los angeles del cielo.
I do remember when I heard "More than a feeling" for the first time. I'll never forget all those "unsingable" tunes, a voice recognized under millions, from millions. My wife saw him a few years ago with Beetlejuice and was blown away. R.I.P. Brother, you've touched our hearts and souls. Peace
I have always thought, if anyone doesn't like Boston, there is something wrong with them. The vocals of Brad Delp were one of rock's best. Even though Boston only had two albums in the 1970's, those two albums were bigger than most band's careers.
We will all miss you Brad.......... There is no Boston without Brad and Tom ...........
All my thoughts and prayers go out to Brad's family and to the millions of fans around this globe. Your music made us feel like one big family which has now lost its father. RIP
We will always remember you with your unique voice. And you will live in our hearts forever. Thank you for the great music. Rest in peace.

I see all the wonderful Brad Delp fans posting a well deserved R.I.P - meaning "Rest in Peace"......well, I too will offer my R.I.P., yet with a new meaning...."Rock in Paradise"
my first concert was Boston..I will never forget your smile Brad Delp and your beautiful voice. You live forever in your music, and in my heart.
I'm 20 years old. I was 16 when I started listening to Boston. I'll never get to see Delp live and that saddens me. I love Boston and I love Brad Delp. But it is comforting to know that he's hitched the greatest ride of all. RIP Brad Delp.
May God bless your family in this time of loss. Brad was an inspiration to me as I first learned to sing, an incredible voice and an amazing talent. Rest in Peace.
Rob
Your music was full of life and energy always. May your voice be just as powerful as your new life that is forever just begins.
I was shocked to hear the news. I still can't believe it. I was really looking forward to the new album too. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. Rest in peace, Mr. Delp.
The world has lost one of the best vocalists and nicest guys to have ever walked the earth. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May he rest in peace.
Ya got to have a little rock and roll music to get ya thru the stormy weather............This is gonna take a lot of rock and roll to ease the pain...RIP Brad.
Terrible, Terrible news. It hit me like a punch to the stomach.
I've met him twice and he treated me like a friend, and was happy to talk about anything. I guess seeing him live putting out all this great energy and groove, I cannot reconcile his death.
My prayers for Brad, his family, friends and all fans, since we have all lost a major influence in our lives. Hope to see you again one day, Brad. Love and Peace.
Like everyone else here, I can't believe this news. Boston's music and Brad's voice are part of the soundtrack of my life. One of the greatest rock--no, make that popular music--voices of all time. I am playing the first album--an all-time great rock album--now in tribute, as many others are no doubt doing. R.I.P., Brad. Words cannot express how much you will be missed, but rest assured that your music will live on.
You sang the soundtrack of my life, Brad. You'll never know how much you inspired me. Rest in peace.
My deepest sympathy goes out to your family and friends. Your music lives on, may you rest in peace.
I have always said that Brad had the voice of an angel. Now that is 100% true. Brad will be missed by us all, even those who were not fortunate to meet him.
-PaulaB.
Your one in a 100 million, brother. Hitch a ride and rest in peace!
Brad's voice ranks among the finest in rock and roll. My prayers are with him and his family. His music will always be a part of us all. Thank you, Brad, for the incredible body of work you left the world.
I saw Boston 3 times during 1977 and 1978. They rocked and Brad's voice was very powerful! I'll never forget hearing "More than a feeling live and chills ran up my spine! The high notes he hit were amazing! You'll be dearly missed by all! Rock on Forever!
I truely hope the Rock World gives this man his due! He is and will always be remember by me as one of the greatest voices to grace my ears! I got a lot of great memories - summer time stuff - just hanging out with my buds and chillin' RIP Brad!!!
Brad will be missed dearly by many people. He was an unforgettable presence and human being and rock n roll music will not be the same without him.
I cut my teeth as a singer in the early days with Brad's melodies, vocals and harmonies. His pitch and tone was unmistakable. A true inspiration that will be greatly missed!!! His music was truely "more than a feeling!"

I don't even understand what I just read. This can't be real, I keep telling myself. The energy and passion you brought to the music world cannot be measured. Thank you Brad for giving us the gift of voice. The world has lost an icon, and we will have sadness upon us for years to come, but at the same time the music you created will bring us joy every time we listen. God Bless you Brad.
He was the epitome of a rock voice. I have had his in voice in LP, cassette and CD through the last 30 yrs plus. GOD bless Brad.
I had the pleasure of meeting Brad while employed at Clear Channel and besides sounding fabulous, he TRULY was one of the nicest, down to earth musicians i have met in my time!! The rock worls, as well as the world itself has lost a true icon! Brad, your legacy will live on! may God watch over you, you'll ge sorely missed here!
God bless you Brad. Now when I hear a Boston song on the radio, as I have since 1976, it will have an extra special meaning. Your voice takes me back to great memories of sun-filled summer days with good friends. Rock music wouldn't be the same without you. Rest In Peace.
The first outdoor concert I saw was Boston, awesome is the only way to describe it. You will be missed.
Rock on!!
Where can I begin, just one of the most recogniable voices in music history. Boston open the door to the arena rock format and Brad had an explosive voice that would blow you away! You will be missed, but never forgotten. Rest in piece Brad.\m/
I am just going to post what I put on my own blog the other night.
I See My Marianne Walkin' Away...A Voice Is Silenced
I didn't get to sleep last night until 4:45 a.m. as I was suffering with a bout of insomnia and sadness...sadness over the loss of what I consider to be one of the greatest voices of rock music.
Brad Delp the lead vocalist for the rock band Boston.
This to me wasn't a personal loss. I didn't know Brad. I never met Brad. I did however along with hundreds of millions of people since the 1970s grow up hearing his voice play through my ears since I was a little kid in the back of my mom's red Cougar xr-7.
The music of Boston has always been a twisted soundtrack in my life. It has memories that take me back to chilly Christmas mornings and hearing "More Than A Feeling" through a new set of Rado Shack Realistic headphones alongside Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" back around 1980-81.
I remember hearing plenty of Boston songs in friend's garages as their older brothers played it on their boom boxes along with AC/DC, Van Halen, Zep, Asia, and Rush. Brad's voice was always there as a rock and roll reminder that we were living in the best times...and to soak up the life.
WSHE...an old rock station in south Florida used to have the Saturday Night Party where they would play all requests from 8 pm til 6 am Sunday morning and the promo for it would always end with Boston's Party...party...partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Joking with my good friend Gregg when we wanted to hear some metal or some good Rush tunes on the radio and just making fun of classic rock and rock radio in general...you could always count on a DJ to say..."coming up we have some Doors, some ZZ TOP, some Doobies, some Pink Floyd..and we're gonna kick it off with some Boston...next!"
ALWAYS.
Boston was the band..Delp was the voice...the voice I heard walking into 7-11 after riding my bike with Brian Andrews a mile down the road to get a Coke Slurrpee...Boston was on that radio behind the counter. Boston was on the radio when you were pulling up to Burger King in the drive-thru whether it was being 4 years old, 14 years old, or 24 years old...somebody had a Boston tune on...somewhere in that drive-thru.
Whether it was Feelin' Satisfied, Amanda, Cool The Engines, More Than A Feeling, Party, Hitch A Ride, Foreplay/Longtime, Smokin, Peace of Mind, We're Ready, Tell Me, A Man I'll Never Be, Livin For You...and the list goes on...
Their debut sold more than 18 million records in the U.S. alone...that is their DEBUT!
Things like that do not happen too often...an exception is maybe Guns N Roses...when it comes to debuts from rock bands. Boston's ENTIRE first disc is played on radio stations across the country every day...so is their second...a some of their 3rd.
They are also a running joke in the music industry...since it takes them a decade to finish a record people usually say when a Boston release comes out...can't wait for 2014 when the new Boston comes out!
Whether it was sliding on a Slip n Slide covered in Dawn or Mr.Bubble or swimming in the hot Florida sun with friends over at the house in the pool...Brad Delp's voice is an audible memory stamped in my mind forever of the good times.
Story has it for the moment that he died at his home from carbon monoxide poisoning from a bad heater in his home.
Tragic.
Tragic how we all wind up going in one way or another. Tragic also how the music business rarely...oh so rarely...gets the opportunity to have voices...signature voices like Delp's consume the airwaves for over 3 decades and never be sick of it.
I think deep down...a band like Boston couldn't make it today. Neither could a Rush or a lot of other rock bands from the 70s and 80s. It's a different climate...a bad one at that.
Can you imagine Brad Delp, Geddy Lee, Robert Plant, Lou Gramm, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar or any of the key signature voices of the 70s trying to make it today?
The music industry has been invaded by talent show hacks and hip-hop slackers who don't know the first thing about hard work, hundreds of shows every night being paid jack shit or not being paid at all...working night and day to get your song on the radio or get anyone to see your band play.
Today...it is all marketing...all internet...all American Idol.
Are you going to tell me any of the artists listed above would do well on American Idol? The looks and signature style of Geddy Lee? Not a chance. But he would never stoop so low to put himself in front of a pill popper, a former stand in bassist for Journey, and a producer/critic from the UK.
Instead America by the tens of millions 3 days a week watch in anticipation over the likes of Kelly Pickler, Taylor Hicks, Rueben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Bo Bice, Fantasia...and wow the list of contestants going on this season.
At the end of the day these people will be a severe afterthought. Winding up on some Time-Life collection in about 15-20 years in the Where Are They Now? file....and Boston will still be creating new memories and reminding us of the old...every day...every month...every year....it is that timeless.
Oddly enough this is proven to be so true by just a few weeks ago when I was driving with Amber and we were listening to Feelin Satisfied and More Than A Feeling in the car...rockin out doing air drums and air guitar and attempting in the worst way to hit Brad Delp's high notes......another Boston memory sealed alongside the others.
Thank You Brad...thank you for the voice...thank you..thank you...thank you...is all I can say.
R.I.P.
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away....
_____________________________________________
Day is night in New York City
Smoke,like water runs inside

Leave it all behind
Never change my mind

Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah
Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly
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

Brad will always be "the golden voice" to me, nobody else comes close. Condolences goes out to his family and friends and I and the many many fans worldwide join in griefing the passing of this extraordinary talented man. Thanks Brad, listening to you brought so much joy to my world and you live on in my music collection and my heart! RIP mate.
Thanks, Brad...for everything. Your voice will remain one of the greatest voices in rock history. The music lives on, and all of us would be lesser people if you had not shared your talents with us. To Brad's family, friends, and bandmates, our thoughts and prayers are with you. May Brad's soul rest in peace in the arms of his Creator, and may his great voice join the heavenly chorus.
A true original voice in rock...Brad you will be sorely missed..RIP

My condolences goes out to his band mates and family and friends and fans. He will be missed God Bless you!!!!
r.i.p brad delp, boston won't be the same with out you!
I am still trying to come to terms with this sad news. Music has lost another great artist before their time. Brad is and always will be a legend. I met Brad in August 2003 for the first time. His warmth and genuine personality was evident before I reached the table. I thank God I had the chance to meet someone so special that has touched my life for so many years. When my wife and I renewed our vows, we had "Everyday" from the Delp Goudreau CD played. Boston's music will take on new meaning for me now. To Tom, Gary, Kimberly,and Jeff, Brad's friends, Family and millions of fans worldwide, my most heartfelt condolences to us all, and may Brad's undying spirit continue on through us.
Brad had one of, if not the best voice, in rock. He will be missed. I always hoped that someday Boston would be fronted by Brad again. Rest in peace Brad.
I will miss the voice and the person i see when he's singing.
This really comes a a suprise but thats always, damn i will miss the voice.
condolences goes out to his family friend and everybody who loves the band
this was truly the day the music died and so did a part of me. I never knew the man ,but had seen boston many times and the songs of boston got me through many long hard nights. Brad you will be missed. May the light shine upon you and the stars know your name
stun by the news I spend maybe and hour to recover for such lost he will always remember as tom said THE VOICE OF BOSTON rest in peace so...........close your eyes and drift away my friend u will be more than a felling!!!!!!
I am deeply saddened by Brad Delp's passing and honored that I had the chance to meet him once. It was a dream come true for me. His voice has raised me up many times. My sincere condolences to his friends and family. God speed Brad.
Brad's memory and music will always live on in my heart as he now lives on forever in heaven.
The amazing gifts he left behind will be cherished by us all.
God bless you all.
Love,
Karen
It is a total shock to me. Who ever thought this musical legend would be taken away so soon. My condolences to his family, friends, Boston, and Beatlejuice. He'll be missed.
R.I.P. Brad
My favorite Boston song has always been "Hitch a Ride". Delp's smooth, soulful vocals make that song the rock 'n roll version of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot". Sad to say that Brad hitched a ride a little earlier than we would've liked.
greatest and most humble performance that seen .tnanx
First time I heard Boston , I was in awe not of the music as yet but the vocal parts because they blended in to the songs as an instrement would.....perfect sound all around, but Brad was a one of kind vocalist and as we go along will realize how much we will miss him , but his voice will live on in the music I hear everyday. Thanks Brad for your passion and what you meant to me in my growing up years as a teenager and still to this day. RIP my friend....
Very sad to read this. God Bless the Delp family and my condolences for your loss.
Rest ii peace, Brad. You were the one of the greatest voice in rock and we'll all miss you. I loved the Beatles and I loved Bosron, so I think that says it all.
The world is sadder without you.
Thanks. Your music will be remembered forever.
Serge
There will never be another Brad Delp. His voice was one in a million and he was a super nice guy as well. He's one for the ages. God bless him.
I am one of the million people out there who will NEVER forget Brad! R.I.P.!
I still can't believe that we lost Brad. He was truly one the best all time rock voacalists of all time. I have been very fortunate to have met him.I will always take with me the warm welcome and smile he extended out ot me. Brad you will be missed and may you rest in peace.
What a HUGE loss to music. But Brad will be teaching God to hit the high notes.
Good Bye Brad......I am Missing you already!
what can you say with words!..brad and boston were originators of melodic,truly melodic voicings interwined with rock n roll!..theirs was a perfect pairing!!..in todays world of america's un-idolist's!..arrogant people who think they can carry a tune..they should just try singing one of brad's songs and then they'll come to a conclusion that singing is very hard!
What a gifted singer Brad was, i was listening to 'Don't Look Back' today, funny as this may sound, 'Boston's music and Brad's vocals (lead and harmony) always and still does make me feel good inside.
R.I.P. brother Brad.
This is such a loss to the melodic rock community. Brad Delp was an absolute LEGEND, his vocals once heard are unfogettable. Boston's debut recording was the first CD I ever bought and what a recording, Brad's vocals soar through out. More Than A Feeling is one of my most favourite songs and remains one of the reasons why I love melodic rock. I will always be grateful Brad rest in peace where ever you are!
It feels like a little piece of me is gone. I listened to all 4 CD's last night. What wonderfull music, so positive, and uplifting! I was really looking forward to the tour this summer.
It makes me want to say to all the other bands out there" play your music", beacause you never know when it will be too late.The Van Halens should take stock in this. God bless Brad!
R.I.P Brad Delp. Boston was my first ever concert and I was awe-struck by the band and I'll never forget it. One of the best voices, EVER, in rock history. God Bless Brad and his family.
Probably one of the greatest if not the greatest melodic singer of all time. May you rest in peace. You will always be remembered.
Such a Great talent-You will be missed-
The loss of a legend. If you list the great rock singers of all time his name is right up at the top. Thank God for the music and his gift.
I'm still in shock. I cant Believe it....Its a very sad news.
A big star has gone, the heaven is winning the match day by day. Big bands are there now with such great talents & stars like Brad.
We have been waiting for a Boston Tour in Spain for Ages..And now all is gone ... God Bless You Brad, You were a big star love by many and miss by all. Love. condolences for family, friends and his fans.
We miss You.
Brad you will be very sadly missed.
You left me with more than a feeling my friend.
RIP
I was lucky enough to see Boston on the Third Stage Tour where they played pretty much their entire catalog. Boston was flawless and led by Brad's amazing vocals. He was truly one of the legendary and unique voices in Rock. May you rock on in the heavens Brad! Your music will live forever in the millions of hearts that it touched! We will miss you.
You've left the world a better place for us by sharing your talent. We are left with a hole in the world by your passing. May the angels speed your way to paradise.
Im gonna miss him so much...my life will never be the same!!!!
RIP BRAD.YOUR MEMORY WILL LIVE FOREVER LIKE YOUR SONGS IN OUR EARS! MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY.
I am a guitarist at heart but I always went to Boston concerts to hear Brad's voice. "A Man I'll Never Be" is classic Brad. Heaven just got a great lead singer. Thanks for the songs Brad.
May you jam forever in paradise with all the other masters of rock and roll. Rest in peace Brad.
Boston in Holland, that was en will allways be our dream! Maybe we will see you in heaven!
R.I.P Brad.
Brad, You and your music made my life a better place. Rock The heavens Brother!!
R.I.P My Friend
thank you for all Brad! R.I.P.
I can remember singing Don't Look Back into a cassette recorder at the age of 12 or 13...thinking I could sing like HIM! Then in 1998...I met him in Massachusetts...had my arm around him! He signed the first boston vinyl album...I have it framed..I have that picture of me and him in the frame...HE is my IDOL...I cry every time I put on one of his songs...I was so looking forward to seeing him again this summer on tour. BRAD...no one in rock history had the voice you did! Rest in Peace ...
I am shocked to read this. His voice was the one of the best. My thoughts are with the family & friends. The Boston and RTZ stuff I will never forget.
I am truly stunned!! An awesome talent with a unique gift. May he rest in peace then team up with the other genuine rock stars that have passed over and keep rockin in the afterlife
BRAD DELP - R.I.P WALK ON!!!My condolences goes out to his family,friends and fans and this band mates. i seen boston 5 times over the years. this band this real talent!!!! God Bless you!!!! brad delp
Enjoy your place singing with the Angels. You'll blow them all off the clouds! Miss you, Brad!
Nuestro más sentido pésame a la familia de Brad, y a sus compañeros de Boston,desde España."More than a feeling" vivirá siempre en nuestro recuerdo.
Hi I'm gino from Belgium.........so sad to hear that one of the finest voices in rock is no more !!!!
my deepest sympathy to the family and his friends !!
thank you Brad for all you're beautifull music !!! you'll be missed !!!!!!!!!!
I never thought this day would come, soooo unexpectedly. One word I’d like to add a few words to describe Brad Delp 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 been a better fan too. R.I.P. Brad
So sad.........Great music, Great guy, Rest in peace. Lost a great classic singer...............JBJ
Don't know what to say but thank you for all the wonder full memories your music brought. My condolences to his family,friends.
You were a huge part of the soundtrack to my life and rock music has lost one of it's finest instruments. Your music will live on.
God Bless xx
I remember talking about the BEST vocalist ever with many former bandmates, and Brad was always at the top of our lists. What an incredible voice, incredible loss. Thank God I saw Boston live a few times; Brad was as incredible live as on record. I remember those songs that meant so little to me as a kid ending up meaning everything to me as a young adult (and now a middle aged one), how Brad's vocal delivery really sold the songs. Amazing. I remember driving around Folsom Lake with friends as a young adult, and Boston was always playing in the car; it's a cliche, but it was the soundtrack to my life. I feel like I've lost a friend and am saddened beyond words; it'll be a long time before I can listen to those songs the same way. Rest in peace Brad; someday I'll meet up with you and we can do some jamming.
This is the saddest day I can remember. I was lucky enough to meet this great person 4 years ago before the Boston concert at Mohegan Sun Arena. He was the most humble, kind and engaging person and he truly left his mark with me. I still can't believe he's gone. I was so looking forward to more Boston shows, songs, etc. He will live on in my memory and my music. R.I.P Brad.
the first boston album was my very first cd purchase. i still remember playing the cd versus my original cassette tape to show my dad the sound difference with the new compact disc technology. boston's guitars and brad delp's vocals were the perfect choice to break in the new shelf system and cd player that my dad bought for my high school graduation gift. great memories --- brad will be missed
Brad Delp's voice is a prominent part of the soundtrack to my life. I may only be 19 years old, but I've spent so many hours jamming to Boston and enjoying the positive, uplifting, energizing music. Boston was a huge influence on my songwriting style, and when I was down I'd turn to Delp's voice and Scholz's guitar to take me away.
I hope that through this sad time, people continue to turn to Delp's music to lift them up. I hope, too, that more people discover his fantastic work and continue to celebrate his life, his music, and his influence.
Brad Delp, thank you. My prayers are with you and your family, your band and your friends, and the millions of people who have bought a Boston album and felt your touch.
When i was told of Brads passing all I could think is rock and roll has lost one of the best. I will miss you.
One of the greatest voices in the history of rock....RIP Brad
Blown away when I heard the news today. I had just seen Brad at a local bar this past summer. He was sitting just a table away watching the band play. I almost went over and said Hi. Didn't want to bother him. Now I wish I had. RIP Brad.
R.I.P Brad you are now with the angels you will be sorely missed
Thanks, you will be missed.
William
I was only five when Boston's debut album was released. I am sorry I did not get more exposure to them until "Third Stage" was released. Thank you for the wonderful music and memories Brad. You will be greatly missed.
very sad news indeed. "a man i'll never be" off the don't look back cd is one of my favourite songs of all time and i've been listening to rock music for nigh on 30 years so i don't say this lightly. r.i.p brad
So sad. R.I.P. Brad
He set the benchmark for melodic rock vocals with Boston which is timeless and will never be surpassed. Such wonderful musical intensity takes you to another place. Thanks for the trip Brad, God Bless.
One of the greatest voices in the entire music history
Rest in peace you will always be rembered
The early success days of Boston was before my time. But of the 70's unpolished classic rock bands, I felt Boston, and in particular, the voice that was Brad Delp, was one of the very few from that era that I enjoyed, as it was at least 10 years ahead of their time. It saddened me to open the newspaper to see that he had passed away. My condolences to his family and friends.

From "A Man I'll Never Be" to "Until Your Love Comes Back Around"...
Thank you so much for your gift Brad!
Your voice will forever bring warmth to the wolrd of music.
We will all miss you.
Sherry & Matthew from the band SHAD
I will miss his awesome voice. Last week I played the first Boston cd for my 8 year old daughter and she loved it. A start to another generation of listeners.
His music will and has inspired many.
it"s unfair,when you love someone
reason fails, and your feelings rule.
the launch is began to third stage, rest in peace, Brad!!!
One of the all time great rock vocalists, grew up with boston playing and have loads of memories that are connected to your music and voice, R.I.P Brad.
A voice from the heavens, now singing with the angels. A legacy that will last as long as rock music is around.
i will always love your golden voice
I was just beginning to discover Boston, and this is very sad news indeed. Now, whenever I hear Boston, I am gonna say a silent prayer for him. may his songs live on and on....
"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"- Boston
A voice that stands eternal. Thank-you for your great gift. We will always remember you.
What a terrible news ! Debut Boston album will be forever in the top 5 AOR of all time and Brad contribution was immense.
Any fan of the genre is fatherless today
Condolence to his family and friends
Rest in peace Brad
Bradley Delp had a voice of an angel and a heart of gold. He is now singing with the angels. I have followed him since I saw Boston in 1978, through his stints with Barry Goudreau and RTZ. I only wish Tom Scholz was a little quicker making records so we could have more Brad to play.
You will be missed!!!!
Rest In Peace.
hope God bless your soul man, you will always be one of the best singers in the world! R.I.P.
I never met Brad, but he touched my heart and soul with his music. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
May God bless you brother. Your music lives on.
RIP
I have always loved Brad's voice, since when i was just 12 y.o. Now i'm 32 and i still have the stereo playing Brad's Albums (Boston/Rtz/Delp-Goudreau). This music is part of my life and will ever be. Thanks so much Brad!
we thanks for beautifull melodies
I'm truly sorry to hear about Brad's passing. God always seems to take away the amazing people in our lives too early. Brad's amazing voice & talent will live on forever in our hearts & souls. His soaring vocals were truly one of a kind for sure. He'll live on forever in our hearts & in Heaven.
My most heartfelt condolences go to his family & friends @ this horrible time.
God Bless Brad Delp.............Rest in Peace.
a great loss.followed the music for years.remember the first time i heard "smokin". magical. a sad day for all boston/rock fans.love from england.
RIP Mr Delp - You were a true original and as it always happens, the truly special ones are taken from us too early...
I hope your family will take solice in knowing that so many people were touched by your talent. To me, your talent was More Than A Feeling, it was part of my development as a musician and a person. Rest in Peace.....but keep Rockin'
R.I.P - Your music will live forever
Truly one of the nicest guys in rock 'n' roll, with an unmistakeable voice that will live on forever through Boston's recordings, I will greatly miss Brad Delp. I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly many years ago at a charity event (that's just like Brad, contributing his time to help others), and I found him to be genuine, courteous, respectful, and sincere, with a great sense of humor and a positive outlook on life.
My deepest sympathies to Brad's friends and family.

To say Brad Delp was a huge influence on the sound of AOR/MHR is an immense understatement. In style,phrasing,energy,and pure physical vocal range, he was the one who set the standard.
There wont be another like him.
R.I.P.
Paved the way for this type of music. Awesome voice. Debut album still relevant today. Rest Easily.
I really don't know where to start. Such a huge loss. He was part of my youth. We will miss him and his voice so much. Sometimes GOD calls his angels... too soon!!
R.I.P Brad!!
I've been a BOSTON fan since I was 11 way back in the 70's. Today, as with everyone, my heart is heavy. The BOSTON sound has been such a big part of me for 30 years of my life.
I have tried to stick by the "Piece of Mind" lyrics as my personal mission statement.
"Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder,
hope it doesn't take too long.
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter,
come a day when you'll be gone."
All I want is to have my peace of mind...
Brad will be missed.

Earth's loss heaven's gain RIP Brad
I'm David from Paris. Brad was one of my favorite singer. I thank him with all my heart for the pleasure he gives me ev'rytime i hear his voice. Brad is not dead...he can't.
When your idols pass away,it's time to realise that you're getting old.Brad was one of the most gifted singers ever.A great loss for r'n'r.
One of the Godfathers of melodic rock music, whose place in history is assured.
Rest in peace

First off my condolences go out to Brad's family and friends.
As many others have stated, part of the soundtrack to my youth has passed. I will never forget the first time I heard Brad's voice on the first Boston lp back in 1976. That music and Brad's unique voice just shook the world of rock in 1976. Since then I've be addicted to Brad's voice and had to have everything he sang on.
Brad R.I.P. your music will live on forever.
What a voice ! Thank you for the music man. You will be missed.
You helped me with your voice through some bad days in my life. Now I'll think of you and pray for you.... Rest in peace !
Condolences to the family, friends,.... .
What a rollercoaster weekend this has been. Just get back from seeing the high of Journey to the low of this very very sad news. Hope you find peace where ever you are.
you had more than a feeling in your voice. R.I.P
Boston introduced me to melodic rock....music i still listen to 30 years later....RIP, Brad...thanks for the music
Wow, I am saddened. Delp's voice was otherworldly; I hope his spirit is born in another body and sings like that again! I loved dancing to Boston. Condolences to his friends and family,
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
I will cherish are moments in the Studio in Dalton Ma. forever! Tracking the songs we did was an absolute pleasure,and you were the most amazing musician i have ever worked with. Rest in peace my friend you will be missed by many...Mike
RIP to a unique talent and an inspiration for many. A little piece of all of us has gone. Such sad sad news. Deepest condolences to his family, friends and fans.
One of the first rock and roll deaths that hits really close to home for me. Like John Bonham and Jimi Hendrix, there will be many imitators, but only one original. RIP Brad.
What a loss! My very first album as a kid and still my favorite band of all time. Thank you for all the joy you have brought to myself & all your fans. My condolences to your family and all those close to you.
Brad Delp was one of the best, if not THE BEST, rock vocalist of all time. His range and emotion in his singing can not be duplicated. Brad was one of my largest musical influences. You will will be sorely missed mate ... rest in peace.
The world has lost one of the best rock vocalists of all time. His vocals were incredible... simply Angelic. But as amazing as a singer he was, what surprised me more was how truly genuine a person he was. I was fortunate enough to meet him and can say what a wonderful human being he truly was. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He will be deeply missed. Rest in Peace, my friend.
"More than a Feeling" - Just that voice singing that classic song. Need I say more?
What can one say? An amazing talent has been silenced. May God be with his family and friends during this difficult time.
The man with the Golden Voice.....Will Echeo ON!! We will miss you but we will Remember!!
Brad, Your music will rock me forever, till I am dead too. Now that you've 'Hitched that Ride', Rest in peace and keep your voice to the Angels Of Heaven.
Today i feel as if Elvis died again . Brad Delp meant the world to me and I will miss him as long as i'm alive . I'm still in shock so there's not much more i can say . God bless his family ,friedns and all his band mates .
His music will never die . Today is a very sad day . I wish this was just a aweful nightmare and wake up tomorrow and he would still be here , But that's not going to happen , He will live in my heart forever .
Still can't believe Brad is gone. It feels like a part of me is gone. "Third Stage" is my all-time favorite album, and Brad was an aura that always seemed to make something happen, especially on that masterpiece. Without Brad, there would have been no Boston after all... I still have a copy of "Holyann" record single personally signed by Brad, which says "God Bless, Brad with love." Even though it was purchased through a music memorabilia store, I always felt connected to him somehow... I am so devastated that it's time to let him go. R.I.P, Brad, you will be truly missed.

Your voice was part of the soundtrack of my life. I'm deeply hurt by your passing.Heaven's choir now has a great new voice.
My thoughts are with your family. Thank you Brad for all the lives you touched through your music and your kind spirit.
We'll miss you my dear friend

Job well done, Brad. Sorry to hear you couldn't stick around a little longer. Rest in heaven my friend. Gonna miss you. . . .
R.I.P. Great singer, love the music. it will live on!
my prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP Brad. As a man 46 years old and growing up on his voice as the main part of Boston's music. I beleive a little bit of us all passed today.It would have really been nice to have seen the original Boston members be able to put all the animosity behind them to perform again as one. Since their early career was filled with legal troubles and such. Brad you will be truly missed,you have fans all over who love you and the music you made whether with Boston, Orion the Hunter, RTZ and so on. A catalog no one will ever forget. Contact your local classic rock stations and have them do a tribute of some sort to the man and his accomplishments. RIP Buddy.
On behalf of all rock fans, thank you for dedicating your life to music and may your soul sing on forever. You will be missed...
A big loss to the music world. I still remenber the first time i heard More than a feeling the frist time on my am radio. I'm still a fan to this GOD BLESS YOU BRAD WE ALL MISS YOUR VOICE!!!!!
Brad is the voice of Rock-N-Roll for my generation. His voice will always be part of the soundtrack of my life. God Bless you Brad! May you rest in peace brother.
Brad, rock on in the here after as I know you will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brad had that instantly recognizable rock voice, like Lou Gramm and Paul Rodgers. One of rock's greatest vocalists of our time is gone. RIP Brad.
My condolences to Brad's family & friends. The world mourns the loss of another beautiful musician and creative force, who brought his craft to light and touched the hearts of millions.
"More than a feeling" But rather a bunch of feelings. How sad and unlucking we are to have lost you. May your voice be heard throughout heaven. The rock and roll band in the sky has just received one of the great all time singers. It has been said before, What a hell of a band...
RIP Brad Delp...a great voice and irreplaceable singer of the great band Boston. My prayers to his family and friends.
1976......there was festival seating back then so I was right up front......Starcastle opened up the show and did a fine job besides having a great light show.....Then it was time for Boston....how they reproduced "live" what was captured on those LP grooves still amazes me....and a lot of the credit,of course, goes to Brad Delp and his amazing vocals.
"It's been such a long time,
I think I should be goin',
And time doesn't wait for me,
It keeps on rollin',
Sail on,on a distant highway,
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream,
I've gotta be on my way,
Wish there was something I could say."
We'll miss you,Brad.What an incredible voice. RIP
I Love Boston and i love RTZ!!!This is just wrong but life is life!
Great friends of mine share the joy of Boston!!And i know the rest of you will as well!!!I Love Ya ALL!!!The best way to honor such a legend is to raise the roof with hes music!!!Love,Tuomas.
I was 12 when I bought my very 1st album - Boston. I had heard "More than a Feelin'" and was blown away by the melodic rock sound, the guitars and especially the voice of Brad Delp. My musical taste was defined after listening to that record and I later became a fan of bands with strong melodies and vocals; Journey, Foreigner, Styx, Queen. But Boston started it all for me and I am very sadden by this tragic news.
RIP Brad.
Such a great loss, thanks for the great songs and the memories they always bring. My deepest condolences to family, friends and the millions whose live will be touched by such a great loss too.
Brad, you were a true rock legend. We will all miss you. No one will ever be able to replace you. My deepest sympathy to his family and all who knew him. R.I.P. God Bless you.
I was as shocked to hear and read this as everyone else. this is one of the first bands that i remember hearing when i was younger as my parents played their record. my condolences to the rest of the band. R.I.P. Brad
Not sure what to say as I just found out earlier today,my thoughts and prayers to everyone in Brad's family as we have lost one of the truely great people in the field of music.
The first cassette tape I bought was when the first Boston album came out. And 30+ years later, I still have the Boston belt buckle I had since 7th grade. We truly lost a great one. R.I.P., Brad.
I'm saddened by the news of Brad's passing. I will always be influenced musically by the great music he was a part of. I always loved the sound of his voice.
Words cannot express my sadness and distress of hearing this awful news. Brad, you were one of the great golden voices of rock n roll and gave me countless moments of pleasure both live and on record. May you rest in peace my friend. You'll be sorely missed.
PS - Say hello for me to another golden voice, Freddie Mercury when you see him!
BRAD DELP - R.I.P
God Bless , peace ,love and simpathy to the family.
When I'm in my "Zone" or "Happy Place", "feelin Satisfied" is playing in my mind!!!!
I have met Brad Delp a couple of times. What a great guy. The world is going to miss you.... R.I.P.
Brad was the ambassador of Boston and a wonderful man. I am so grateful to have known him. Mr. Delp, I will miss you.
My god im so much in shock.Listened to BOSTON cd all last night. Saw them in 76 opening for i dont rember who and was blown away by this man. Brad dude thanks so much for the music
His passing was a shock to me. I felt inside like what I feel when someone in my family passes away. It hurts. We will NEVER forget what a great person he was not only with his music, but outside of music. RIP my friend. You WILL be missed dearly!
Another true talent gone too soon. Rest in peace, Brad.
Part of the soundtrack to my life has passed.
The things we find in life and lose, how precious they then become. RIP Brad...
I was lucky to catch Boston on tour in Copenhagen in the 70ies and again in Toronto around 2003 or so.Brad was one hell of a singer and I'm blessed to have heard him.Thanx very much.
I am as shocked as everyone and words can not reflect what the heart really feels sometimes. Growing up listening to Boston, his talents were unmeasurable. My prayers go out to his family and close friends. R.I.P. Brad, we will miss you!!!
LIKE MOST I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START,BRAD WAS A BETTER VOCAL TALENT,AND MUSICAL TALENT THAN WORDS CAN EVEN DO JUSTICE,LIKE MOST I MET HIM WITH A FRIEND IN INDIANAPOLIS,IN IN 1995,BEFORE A CONCERT,HE WAS UNBELIEVEABLE,THEY HAD TO DRAG BRAD AWAY BEFORE HE WOULD STOP TALKING TO US,THIS TOUCHED ME SO MUCH ON AN EMOTIONAL ,AND PERSONAL LEVEL,LOVE TO HIS FAMILY AND GOD BE WITH YOU BRAD,WE WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
What a sad day for the Classic/Melodic Rock community. Brad and Boston were the soundtrack to my childhood. My condolences to his family and bandmates.
I just read the news and am shocked. I have been a Boston fan since they began and will miss Brad deeply. Tom once said that Brad was the best thing he had heard in his life. I strongly agree. What would Boston have been without him. RIP Brad. My sympathies to Boston, Brad`s fiancee, and familly. thank you for letting me share your grief.
Speechless, upset.
My thoughts are with your friends and family.
Thanks for the great music, it shaped my tastes and today reverberates through what I love. Ripples...ripples you left will echo through the ages and spread ever wider touching many more.
It's 2 a.m. on the dot here , I'm going downstairs with my Boston and RTZ albums...and I'll be up until dawn! Take care up there big guy...don't let 'em say you have to shave to get in.
Love
Nick
To say I'm shocked is an understatement! I spent many years in my youth listening to BOSTON and Brad had an amazing voice that was smooth as silk and he will be sorely missed by millions of fans! R.I.P. Brad
I was a fan, and I can relate to what his family is going throught right now. I lost my father very suddenly and very unexpectedly. It's the worst thing in life anyone will ever have to go through. My prayers are with his family. Thank You Mr. Delp for all of your contributions. Your body of work will never be forgotten.
Brad, your sweet vocals have added so much to my life. You were and will contiue to be an ispiration to so many. May God Bless you. Your voice has, and will continue to rock our hearts forever.
Brad was a true legend of rock and will be surely missed. Boston is one of those soundtrack to your life bands and Brad's voice was a major part of that. I only had the opportunity to see Boston twice and about fifteen years apart. The first time in about 79 at the San Francisco Cow Palace was an awesome concert and then again in Dallas in the mid 90's. God bless you and rest in peace Brad.
I don't know what to say.I can't believe Brad Delp is gone.I don't have the words to express how I feel.
I would like to send my condolences to the Delp family and the Bostom team for this sad, unforseen, and terrible loss. Brad has long been my favorite singer, and the world is indeed lessened by his untimely passing. I can't tell you the number of times over the years that Brad's singing has brought such sheer joy to me as a listener and a fan. I had long admired his talent, and will continue to do so... I've also long admired how cool he was said to be, from all the accounts and testimonies I've read on the internet and in interviews. There will never be another Brad Delp... a man with an instantly recognizable voice, who could sing like the angels.
RIP Brad. Thanks for: the memories, your personality and most of all your golden voice. I will miss you for the rest of my life, and so will ROCK as we knew it.
Brad was one of the most influential voices in Rock & Roll. His voice always seemed to make my grey and depressing days sunny and bright again. There will never be another like him.
My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends.
Rest in Peace my friend.....and as always....ROCK ON!.
The biggest loss in rock music history. Brad was one of the truly greats, both on an off the stage. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him and all who enjoyed his incredible voice. R.I.P., Brad.
Wow...this is so eeiry...I just recently within the past month bought Boston's s/t debut, Don't Look Back and Barry Gourdeau's self titled debut from 1980 (feat. Brad Delp on vocals). ALL AWESOME ALBUMS. LOVE THE VOICE! We'll miss you Brad. Rest in Peace.
Brad, thanks for the music & the memories, you will certainly be missed. Your voice will forever be heard through your recordings.My thoughts & deepest sympathy go out to your family & friends at this time, I am truly sorry for your loss. David.
THANKS FOR YOUR MUSIC MAN, YOUR LEGACY TOUCH A LOT OF HEARTS INCLUDING MINE, REST IN PEACE GOD BLESS YOU
I dont know what to say. I've always enjoyed Bostons music. I think of the song "Amanda" from my senior year in high school and dancing with my date to the homecoming dance to that song.
Its one of Brad's best. You'll be missed. God Bless
I remember when 'More than a feeling' came out, me and my friends have never heard such a great Voice in Rock Music and I still love every song with Brad. It's so sad, that the good guys often have to leave so early. My thoughts are with his family and band mates. I will miss Brad. R.I.P.
Boston's debut album has long been my very favorite. In 1994, I had the opportunity to meet Brad and speak with him. I managed to stammer that I considered the first album to be a masterpiece. He then stammered himself, saying that the compliment was more than what he considered the album. He continued his shyness when I asked him for an autograph. As I watched, he seemed to think about what he wanted to write before writing it. After that, we shared a laugh at our mutual awkwardness. During that encounter, I also learned for the first time, that Brad was the one who had done 100% of the vocals on their debut. Later that year, I was able to see Boston perform and in later years, I would twice see Beatlejuice. To one of my favorite rock singers, R.I.P., thank you for your great contribution for music and thank you for making my day thirteen years ago.
Absolutely shocked & stunned by the sad news of the passing of such an influential singer over the last 30 years!? R.I.P. Brad & condolensces to your family & friends....we will all miss you very much mate.
The voice of my youth! I feel like Brad sang my life soundtrack. R.I.P. Brad.
In having just read numerous articles about Brad's life in music and beyond, the overwhelming themes of "nice," "kind," "helpful," and "humble" resonate throughout. I'll miss Brad for his presence in my life via his music; Boston will always remind me of being a kid. To his family, friends, and those who knew him personally, I am sorry for your loss. Brad will be missed, but he will always live on in our continued appreciation of the music and memories he leaves behind.
I have been listening to Boston AND the Beatles today in tribute to Brad.
I grew up as a child cutting my teeth on a bands like Boston. I remember the first time I heard "More Than A Feeling" I was blown away by Brad's vocals, I just could not get enough of this band in '76. I found myself listening to it on the radio over and over again, just to hear that song. Again in '78 with "Don't Look Back" and in '86 with "Third Stage" . I loved him with RTZ as well, he was just like a cold glass of water on a real hot day....thirst quenching...only to the ears that is. I would like to give my sincere condolences to Brads family for this great loss in their lives. Rock'n'Roll heaven is gaining a sensational front man to one of the best rock bands of all time.....Boston....Brad, Rest in Peace my friend.
Brad Delp a legendary singer with an amazing voice, A truly great music artist! He will be truly missed. God bless him and his family and his friends! Thanks for the music & long live rock n'roll forever!!!!!
The world of music has indeed lost the greatest. Let us not be sorrowful, let's rejoice for Brad is in a better place. We will all miss you here but will see again some day.
I cannot even begin to articulate how important of an influence Brad has been for me; a voice that has always been with me for as far back as I can remember (being born just before the Boston LP's release)...Brad's voice will resound forever within me and his influence will always be evident in my own music. Brad, may those soaring harmonies and impassioned vocals traverse the stars to the very ends of the universe eternally. To his family, friends, and fans, I share your loss in the deepest wells of my heart. Rest In Peace my inspiration.
What a tremendous voice brad had. He just had that passion of belting out tremendous vocals both for boston and rtz. The music world will be trully missing one of rock's finest. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I hope you RIP and continue singing in heaven for all your fans up there.
I was very fortunate to see Boston back in 1978,what a show!
Brad's voice and music and spirit shall be forever with us!
www.live365.com/stations/detpak
The music industry has lost a true icon. Brad,.. your music and spirit will live on forever. May God be with you and your family.
Brad was the first & best AOR vocalist. Also according to all sources a great guy as well. He will be sadly missed by family ,friends & fans as a wonderful human being & very gifted musician.......God be with him.
While all of us will keep talking about your spine-tingling vocals, most of all, you will be remembered for the sheer joy you bought to your fans through your music. We did forget about the harsh realities of life for a while....
Buddy Brad.
Rest In Peace!
boston and brad"s voice, ill never forget! we all crammed into a little car in cincinati,oh- to go see boston and rush at the cincinnati gardens, "more than a feeling" had just been released!it was blaring on the radio on the way to the show! i knew we were going to see one of the greatest rock bands ever! rest in peace. duke jackson (strikeforce)
We Love you and will miss you. Just a thought maybe the powers that be can postumusly induct you and the rest of Boston into this years Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's LONG over due. Any one else agree? Come on Music Industry let get this one right!!!
Dave
I still can't believe it,and only 55 years old... Brad Delp was my favorite vocalist of all time along with Steve Perry of Journey. You will be missed Brad.
This is not fair. Another great talent taken way too early. Easily one of the finest voices in the past 30 years. I was lucky enough to see the man/legend live (first row) in September 1997 during a stop in Puerto Rico on the band's Greatest Hits Tour. Cosmo took care of the high parts but Delp was just magical on every single note he sung.
May he rest in peace.
The vocals on "More than a feeling" never fail to send shivers down my spine. Absolutely tremendous. If that was his only work his life was well spent. Live on in the next world Brad.
I can not believe that one of the guys I grew up listening to is no longer with us.I spent many a night listening to his great voice and I can only say he will be truly missed. RIP
More Than A Feeling is one of my AOR favorites songs of all times, That Voice is uncomparable, I am/was shocking with that voice and of course with this sad news, very very sad news. I can´t Believe it, Brad Delp you will always be with us, R.I.P.
Brad Delp was the quintessential Melodic Rock vocalist. I was floored & deeply saddened to learn of his passing. The scene will never be the same. My deepest, most sincere condolences to his family & friends. R.I.P. Brad.
I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Brad's death, I am a lifelong fan of Boston and will miss him greatly. RIP Brad.

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said before me?
The sound of Boston is nothing short of perfection, and Brads contribution was an important part of the Boston sound. I am truly shocked and saddened by the passing of Mr Delp, my thoughts are with his family and friends and the members of Boston.
One's measure of life can be quantitatively measured by their positive impact on others. This applies to Brad. His impact on this northern Ontario Canadian fan is tangible.. I remember he voice..My love of Boston was always about the voice and the tone of Tom's guitar. Looking back, I played "mind games' in which I pretended what voice I would "take on" if granted 3 wishes. Guess who I picked?
R.I.P. The "band" above just got another 1st rate lead vocalist. This will make my passing easier to accept. The only question is: Does Heaven hace scalpers (for front row tickets).
Thanks,
Marc
One of the most wonderful moments of my life was driving across the Mackinaw Bridge for the first time and 'More Than a Feeling' came on the radio. No-one from the US can understand the joy of hearing such incredible music played so often and extensively on the radio.
Without Boston and more particularly Brad there would be so much less of the music we all love the most.
Thank you Brad for making the world a better, more positive and inspiring place. RIP
This was just a shocking sad tragedy to read about. I've heard from other how a nice man you were, may you rest in peace, and my condolences goes to the family.
We love you Brad. Rest easy brother
Fred
As a musician, I patterned my high-note vocal abilities after the sound and nuances of the first Boston album. There is no doubt that Boston has been a GALACTIC influence on my life and music background. I have several Boston rarities in my collection due to my being a hardcore fan! When I read of Brad's passing, my mouth literally fell wide open. I even checked other sites online to verify this as official news. How huge it is to lose one of the very finest and most unique vocalists who has ever lived!!! I will miss you, Brad Delp!!!
I hate to wrap this tragic event around all the great times I had in the late 70s drinking beer on a hot summer day, tossing the frisbee around and anticipating the next great album by Boston, Rush, Styx, Foreigner, Toto, Kansas, Journey, Billy Squire, The Eagles, Steve Miller, Cheap Trick, VH, Judas Priest, Kiss, Pink Floyd, UFO, AC/DC, REO, Nugent, Queen, Blackfoot, Yes, Aerosmith, The Clash, The Police, The Scorps, and all those that I forgot to mention.
We were spoiled back then and I miss those days.
Brad...the beer was always cold and the music was always classic. We were feeling satisfied.
Well come on all you people
The time has come to get together
You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music
To get you through the stormy weather
And do whatever you feel when you let go
Nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll
So come on, put you hands together
You know it's now or never
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll
Ooo are you feelin' satisfied
Come on let us give your mind a ride
Ooo are you ready tonight
Come on let us give your mind a ride You can do what you like
Come on let us give your mind a ride
Words cannot begin to do justice to Brad's memory and his talent. His voice moved me ever since i first heard More Than A Feeling as a young child. My thoughts and prayers are with his family....i'm at a loss to say anything else. Perhaps listening to his music will say it best. God Bless.
unbelievable ... may you're singing with the angels now !

One of rock's great voices..One of rock's great people. You will be missed.
r.i.p brad,more than a feeling was one of the first records i bought over 30 years ago, and i am still listen to it now.
thanks for the great music.
First,my thoughts and prayers go out to Brads family and friends,to Tom and the band, current and old!The world of music will not be the same nor the world we live in,thank you Brad for sharing your gift with us,you dont know how many times it made things in life better!R.I.P.God Bless!
A great talent.....I can still remember exactly what I was doing at the moment in my life when I first heard his vocals on "More Than A Feeling"...RIP Brad;we will all miss you!
The music world will never be the same without Brad Delp, whose death is a sad shock for so many of us who've been touched by Boston's great songs, and particularly the voice of Delp, who's soaring vocals were a comfort.
I met Brad Delp backstage one night before a concert in Los Angeles, and though I was working that night reviewing the show, I lost a bit of objectivity when I sincerely thanked him for delivering such wonderful songs that truly made a difference in my life as I was a growing up.
The world is a better place because of the moments shared by all of us with Brad Delp. He'll be missed but never forgotten!
-- Gerry Gittelson, Los Angeles Daily News
I remember the last time I saw Boston was in Tampa at the St. Pete Times forum and Tom Scholtz was pretending his guitar equipment was all messed up dressed as a stage hand and than all of a sudden there was Boston and Brad Delp playing and having the time of their lives. Brad will be missed but all I need to do is plug in a Boston CD and that will bring him back to me. My thought and prays go out to his family, friends and fans.
I saw him a few years ago in CT and I was so impressed when he admitted that he let his vocal saviour (was it Fran?)hit some of the high notes. He was a real honest to goodness class act! Well if there is a rock and roll heaven, they REALLY have a hell of a band now!
In 1976 I had a friends older sister turn us on to a new Band.
It had a spaceship shaped as a guitar on the front. I said what
do they sound like? Oh a little like Yes, REO, just to name a few she said. After the first listen Boston has been a mainstay in my life. Boston will always be Brad Delp...
life and Brad Delp
Brad, when you sang those unforgettable words "You'll forget about me after I've been gone", it couldn't be further from the truth.
Boston was one of the first albums I ever bought, and Boston was one of the first concerts I attended. Your voice has spent 30 years in my head and my heart, and it will spend 30 more.
R.I.P
Another rock legend that can never be replaced.
Boston inspired me in the early years of developing a drumming style, "More than a feeling"!!! This should be Brad Delps anthem.
Rest in Peace.
Steve (nz)
My deepest condolences to family, friends, and fans. I have never met him but only read and heard great things about Brad. He will be missed.
I was fortunate enough to meet this sweet, kind man on several occasions and they are memories I will treasure for the rest of my life. Just like his talent my admiration for him has no end. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
Boston was the very first concert that I ever attended. Thank you for introducing me to the mystery and power of Rock N Roll.
Mr. Brad Delp........truly one of the world's finest vocalists with an incredible tone and range.
A legend without a doubt.
I want to thank you for being a huge inspiration to me
and to many others.
Your voice has touched me in so many ways.
You will be missed.
My condolences go out to the family.
Rest in Peace, Brad.
Growing up in the 70's, Boston was so much a part of some of the best times in my life. I remember seeing them in concert in 87' and having tears come down my face when Brad sang "More than Feeling" because it brought back a flood of memories and touched a warm spot in my soul. Today, as a 40 year old man, I still get those feelings when I hear the music, and Brad's voice. Thanks for the memories, Brad. You left your mark, and a huge one it is. Rest in peace, brother.
What a truly sad moment for the world of music right now. Brad was truly one of the best musicians ever. Their self-titled album is the greatest album ever (listening to it right now in memory of Brad). I never saw Boston in person; but, I do play the music pretty often.
This is incredibly sad news, and I hope that his family and the rest of his band is able to get through this as well as possible.
Rest in peace, Brad. You have made your mark and will be missed.
Quite simply one of the greatest vocalists i've ever heard in my life. My deepest condolencies to Brad's loved ones. Our loss is certainly Heaven's gain. R.I.P. Brad, will miss you loads.
I'm still in shock....his incredible vocals really were a large part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. You definitely were one of a kind, and will be terribly missed.
I'm still in shock....his incredible vocals really were a large part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. You definitely were one of a kind, and will be terribly missed.
It really stuns me to lose a musical voice that was a part of my teenage years. I still get the same feelings to the music of Boston now as I did at 15 & 16. RIP!
I'll never forget standing in Banana Records and hearing "Boston" for the very first time...Became a Brad Delp fan that day and will never forget all great music and concerts since...
RIP Brad
I WAS ON A BREAK FROM REHEARSALS FOR OUR UPCOMING SUMMER TOUR WITH BOSTON, WHEN I GOT THE SHOCKING NEWS ABOUT BRAD DELP. I KNEW BRAD AS A FRIENDLY, DOWN TO EARTH, LIKABLE GUY, AS WELL AS A HIGHLY GIFTED LEAD SINGER. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS, BUT I BELIEVE THAT AFTER WE DIE, WE ARE SOMEHOW REUNITED WITH THOSE WHO WE LOVE. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH BRAD, HIS FAMILY AND HIS BAND MATES. I FEEL VERY SAD RIGHT NOW.
KC
RIP Brad ..... one of the reasons I'm a musician today.Big voice , bigger inspiration.
Our condolences to family and friends.
Then end of a legendary band...no one will replace the vocals of Brad.
May he rest in peace... he were taken way too early and he will be missed. And may God bless him in the afterlife.
Still in shock over your passing.
From the 1st time I heard "More Then A Feeling" I was hooked. Brad, your voice and music are firmly entrenched into my soul.
I was one of the fortunate ones in Edmonton to see your Christmas In Canada tour in 1988. It's still one of my all time favorite live experiences.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the memories and good times I've shared while hearing your amazing voice.
Rest In Peace Mr. Delp.
Jody "Jodes" Serner
Simply the Best....RIP Brad you will be missed.
Brad Delp is THE voice of melodic hard rock. He and Steve Perry are my vocal inspiration. Today is a day when we should "look back," on a lead singer who didn't need the spotlight or celebrity status, just a microphone and magical songs to sing. A true artist in a time when there are so few.
a huge loss to the rock community, will be sadly missed by many, my condolences to his family
Since I grew up in the 70's, went to college (Umass) in the 80's where I experience for the first time listening to Brad in a live concert; and back home in San Juan Puerto Rico again. He has always been one if my favorites singers ever. The story stunned me this morning; I just wish my most sincere blessings to Brad and his family, we will miss you...God Bless
Rest in peace Brad - thanks for
Rest in peace Brad.... you gave so much to the world of music. May your voice & your songs live on for ever.
the music wouldn't be the same without you and your magic voice... not for me - and not for all of us rock music lovers...
we'll miss you - and we'll never forget you!!!
thanks for all........
r.i.p.
"A Man i'll never be" is in my opinion the best Aor ballad song in the world and the the best vocal interpretation of all times. Brad, your magic voice has arrived deeply in our hearts and souls and it will continue to inspire and move... We'll never forget you. Daniele - Italy.
God Bless Brad.
An amazing band, an amazing legacy that changed the face of Rock N Roll, and added pop sensibility, with extremely great vocals. 55 is so young.
The first Boston album was part of my life as I grew up in the 70s. " More than a feeling" is one of the greatest songs ever and Brads voice will live on for ever.
Thanks for the music. JR xx
I'm very saddened by the news of Brad Delp's passing. I've been listening to Boston since their debut album back in the 70s and have always loved Brad's vocals.
Godspeed Brad- we're going to miss you.
My thoughts and condolences are with his friends and family. I had the pleasure of winning tickets a few years ago to catch the magical act that is Boston- what a night, what a show. You'll be very missed, Brad. Class act.
I can't believe this has happened, my thgoughts are with the Delp-family, with Pamela Sullivan and Tom Scholz and the other bandmembers....
R.I.P. Brad
FREDL
I am in total shock. I can't believe that amazing voice has been silenced. I had the pleasure to meet Brad years ago after a Boston show in Kansas City, what a wonderful human being. His music has meant a great deal to me through out my life. I've leaned on those songs to make it through the bad times as well as the good. I will truly miss him and there will never be another Brad Delp. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
A true legend is gone,the man with the golden voice. RIP BRAD.
I am so beside myself over this terrible news. I have been a huge Boston fan for years, and I have always thought that Brad was the best singer ever. I've seen him live a few times and he always had the goods. Funny enough, I just finally got a copy of his RTZ record a few days ago, and I didn't get a chance to listen to it; I don't think I'll be able to for a while. I never met the man, but have only heard good things, and I feel like I lost a friend; his songs were so close to me. I'll never forget the summer drives around Folsom Lake when I was a young adult, listening to the music of Boston; they were the songtrack to my life. I don't think I will ever be able to listen to them the same way now, with the man who gave us that magnificent voice now silenced. I'm rambling I know, but I don't really know what to say. R.I.P. Brad; you meant more to the world than you probably ever knew. I'll see you someday, and maybe we can get in some jamming.
R.I.P Brad, You were one of the greatest vocalist in rock and
you will be miss more then you'll ever know. Keep on rocking in
heaven.
brad youll be missed. prayers for your family.the way you sang and gave it all was truly MORE THAN A FEELING.God bless.
One of the greatest singers in rock history, Rest In Peace!
RIP Brad.
My thoughts are with your family and friends. We will miss you.
Thank you for music that will always bring back great memories.
Where the hell do I start? The ONLY time I've ever scored front row seats for a concert was in 1997 for Boston in Toronto. I Actually got a high-five from Brad. He seemed so down to earth, sincere and caring about the fans. As far as his vocal prowess is concerned, he had very few peers. You've definitely made the world a better place Brad. We'll miss ya buddy. RIP
My uncle turned me on to Boston when I was around 7 or 8. Today I am only 30 and have had a strong passion for this band. Brad Delp's vocals through the years have just been amazing along with all the other musicians. Rock truly has lost one of its greatest vocies. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and all the rest of the fans. May you meet up with my uncle in the heavens and throw some of the old stories around
Sitting here enjoying a glass of wine on a Saturday night, just checking melodicrock.com, for fun, and found this devastating news. I'm speechless. RIP Brad. Say HI to Freddie Mercury, Philip Lynott and all the never forgotten legends up there. Have a nice jam session!!
I am truely speechless and cant believe what I have just read. The world is not as bright today as it was yesterday. The countless moments of my life soundtracked by Brad's voice play in my head and I will remember them fondly till I leave this place also. To his family, take peace and solice in the happiness he brought to you and to us. God Bless
Tks for everything, Brad. RIP.
Thanks for decades of fantastic rock n roll. Boston is the only classic rock band I've never covered in my bands through the years because no vocalist could touch your vocal range. My condolences to your family and friends. May You Rest In Peace.
J. Lucas
I will greatly miss you Brad. Keep em rockin in heaven.You have a voice that was called by God to rock in eternity.
God Bless Your soul. You will be sorely missed. You truly had a remarkable voice.
Sing with the angels. RIP
We have all lost a great vocalist and great talent. I now feel so fortunate to have seen Brad on the "Corporate America" tour a few years ago. As someone who lost a father a few years ago, I know the shock that follows the sudden loss of a loved one and my condolences go out to those close family members and friends of Brad. Brad's music will continue to live on and inspire those who listen to his outstanding vocal abilities. RIP Brad, you will be missed but never forgotten.
Brad, Thank You for the wonderful performances and memories.You are still the greatest lead vocalist in the history of rock & roll. You will be missed.
Goodbye, Brad...
Thank you so very much for your art. You'll be deeply missed.
To Brad's family and friends -I feel as sad as when Freddie Mercury died. It is like losing a friend in a way.I attended a Boston Concert 2 yrs ago and hoped to this summer. He will always be in my prayers.
Sad,sad news.Brad was an inspiration to not only the world of rock and roll but as a well liked, decent roll model to many and of his concern to that of the welfare of animals.I had looked forward to not only this years tour with Boston,but meeting him at one of his numerous Beatlejuice shows he performs at.Rest in peace buddy.Sorry you had to leave us so early.You will be sadly missed by many.Dan
What a waste and what a hero to so many
A voice I associate with my teen years. Thanks for the memories Brad.
Thanks for the timeless music. Never has a a voice consitently given me a chill like yours. Absolutely shocked and saddened.
Rest in peace.
My heart is crying. I don't want to believe it. Working as a journalist for a rock-magin Germany for 20 years now he is one of my alltime singers!
R.I.P., Brad Delp. Nobody will forget you.
The angels have recieved a truly beautiful voice to sing with them. Your voice and singing passion will contiue on here with the music you have given to us all. You will be missed.
rest in peace.
great band great singer rip brad
Boston was the first band I absolutely fell in love with...and it was due mainly to Brad's flawless voice. Everytime I heard it, I got goosebumps. He's a legend. I hope he knew how much he touched the world with his music. He will be missed.
Brad was a guy that had a voice that was just his own and we have lost an awesome guy peace and god bless you,you will be missed.
Brad, You filled up my evenings when I was young in my schooldays back in 1977 till 1981.
I used to listen to Boston a lot. I was hoping to ever see Boston in Europe with you in front of the band. That's never going to happen. I'm very sad right now. I'm figuring out what to play now..... I loved "party" and "used to bad news" but I think it's gotta be "piece of mind". R.I.P Brad, next days and in the future I and many others will play the treasures you left. Thanks for that.
I met Brad in Nashville, Tennessee in the summer of 2004. My best friend was the guy that drew the cover for the "Corporate America" CD so we got backstage passes for the show as well as for the following show back home in Atlanta. Brad stayed and talked with us for over an hour each night about anything we could think of until the tour bus driver actually had to drag him to the bus. I remember in Atlanta he laughed at the driver and told us that he would see us next time and we could continue our discussion. We were looking forward to holding him to that this summer. He was just the nicest, classiest, most down to earth celebrity I had ever met and though I only talked with him on those two nights, tonight I feel like I lost a friend. I know we've all lost a legend. Thank God his music is still with us.
So here's to you Brad...Cheers and Godspeed.
Steve D. Hendrix
Rest In Peace Brad...You will not be forgotten. Our Thoughts go out to Brads Family, Friends, and Band mates
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Brad Delp's passing. Of course, he will live on in the music that moved us all...and will continue to do so in the years to come. My thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans - all of whom have been touched deeply by his passing.
With fond remembrance,
Todd
a very sad and shocking loss of a great singer and all round great guy . im really shocked. thanks for the great songs you have sung . words fail me now , michael , belfast ireland . yep , you have fans here too .
Without a doubt, a loss to the music world, and to the world in general. THE BEST voice in the history of rock and roll. A voice that could not be duplicated. As a singer in a cover band, 38 years old, I wouldn't dare to even TRY a Boston song. Though Steve Perry is a similar singer, getting more notoriety, Brad and Boston were always the benchmark for me. REST IN PEACE. A Man I'll Never Be will always send shivers down my spine...more so now.
One of the first songs I ever played "air-guitar" to was Rock n Roll Band. Much like one of his idols John Lennon, he will be missed by all, but his voice and legacy will carry on for all eternity. Rest in Peace Brad, and enjoy the eternal all star jam session with John and George.
I remember the first time I ever heard Boston. It was about 4 years ago and my friend said, "If you love Journey, then you've gotta hear this stuff". So he played me "Don't Look Back". I loved it on first listen. Then he played me "More Than A Feeling". I was hooked instantly. I own every album from the debut to Corporate America and I was planning on taking my friends to the next Boston concert which we were hoping was this year. For my high school graduation party two of my friends and me got up in front of all of my friends and family and sang "More Than A Feeling" on karaoke. None of us could hit the high notes of Brad Delp and everyone knew it. But that didn't stop us from singing it. Brad Delp was one of Rock and Roll's greatest voices. I always described his voice as "soaring". It seemed like he had no limits vocally. Well one of my friends who sang with me that day called me yesterday and told me the bad news. This is honestly the first major death of one of my favorite rock star/musicians. I will miss him very much. I pray for his family and friends. The music has impacted my life significantly. I made a playlist on my Ipod last night of Boston classics and I'm going to play them when I get to my car. I'll never forget Brad. But now he has hitched a ride to heaven. May he rest in peace.
Sad news.
RIP Brad. Prayers to all his family, friends and loved ones.
You will live on thru your music.
Peace to you.
I am crying inside right now. I will cry forever whenever I hear Brad's voice on record...how can he be gone so soon?
Words cannot describe how deeply I loved his voice and Boston's music.
Thanks for touching my life Brad...rest well...rest easy.
i am very saddened to hear of brad's passing. his family has my deepest sympathies at this difficult time. may his legacy carry on.
One of the purest voices with the kindest soul. Thank you Brad for gracing us with your talents, you will be missed.
One of the purest voices with the kindest soul. Thank you Brad for gracing us with your talents, you will be missed.
God, this is devastating. Boston is one of my top 5 all time favorite bands, and besides music I know Brad was the nicest guy. He will be greatly missed, one of the greatest voices of rock 'n roll. My deepest thoughts go to all of his family and closest friends, and to all Boston fans keep those records playing in memory of this great human being. To me always it's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play.... may you rest in peace Brad Delp.
Goodbye my friend. You will be dearly missed. Carry me away for the last time!
His voice has and will continue to get me through the hard times...
This is truly sad,we have lost one of the great voices of a generation of melodic rock lovers.He had such a strong yet angelic voice and he will will be sorely missed.I pray for his family and friends and hope that the sorrow can be turned to thoughts of happiness and the good times and great music this true legend of the melodic rock scene created for millions of fans.Rest in peace and may you as the melodic metal band Slaughter who toured with Boston i believe at one time snad "Fly To The Angels."
I feel empty sad and allmost without words. I cry while I try to find words. Brad you are my hero noone above below or beside.
You moved med with a man ill never be. You partyed with me while my imaginary fingers led me through fourplay and right in to my top moment with you L O N G T I M E. If am so sad that you never did your solo thing and shook the world. i am so sad that it is way to few releases that have seen trhe day from your hands.
I loved and will never let go of the first 2 boston recording. i will never let go of Orion and the RTZ killer albums.
I send my deepest thoughst to Brad family.
I am far from over writing but I cant get hold of my thoughts. I have to go and kiss my son and listen to the voice of the world Bradley Delp
I love you Brad and you will stay with me till the end. looking forward to meet you on the other side.
Rest in peace Brad
it's so sad to see you have left us
you still had so much performing left in you
my thoughts are with your family and friends
I just returned from a long drive. I took the first three Boston cds, and headed out in my car. I drove for about 2 hours listening to them. I've never cried over the loss of someone I didn't know...until today.
R.I.P. - Brad Delp
Infinitas gracias por todo lo que me has hecho sentir "more than a feeling", nadie me emocionó tanto como tú, contigo se va una parte muy importante de mi vida, contigo crecí y tu voz me acompañó allá donde fuí, se hace muy duro pensar que ya no estarás por aqui. Descansa en Paz y gracias por hacer mi vida mejor. I know that you understand that what I say you
Boston was the very first SOLD OUT show i had ever been to they played the Civic Area in Pgh in the late 70's and this had to be one the best shows i have ever seen, musically there was a definitive sound associated with Brad's amazing vocal range.
Remember when the warm weather hits and BOSTON comes on the radio and you feel like you are 15 again with no cares, I hope that Brad is that way wherever he is now! Thank you Brad along with your family friends and bandmates for making our lives happier and better with your music! The gift you have all shared is truly appreciated.... ROCK ON Monica
Brad,
Thanks for all your lovely tunes and Superb. music. It will always live on.
Rest In Peace, but Keep On Rockin' there!!!
More Than A Feeling...How many people can relate this song to a special person or place in their lives? I can still remember exactly how I felt when me and my girl were together when this song came on the radio. Your music will last through generations.....May you Rest In Peace.
One of the greatest rock vocalists the world has ever heard. Rest in peace.
BRAD, BE SURE THAT YOU DID A GREAT JOB AND WE LEARNED SO MUCH YOU WITH. MAY GOD TAKE YOU I HIS HANDS. YOU MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE VERY HAPPY WHEN YOU WERE BETWEEN US. WE MISS YOU.

Brad, Rest in peace....thanks for everything you gave us in rock and roll music. My deepest thoughts goes to his family.
You will be missed, not simply for the amazing voice but for the person you were. May you rest in peace. My condolences to friends and family, everyone's thoughts will be with you in these difficult times.
Taken too soon. Your beautiful vocals will live on forever. The music industry has lost a great voice. Rest in Peace.
I never met Brad, but love his voice with both Boston and RTZ as it was one of a kind. My condolences to Brad's family.
Our hearts go out to his family...Rest in peace Brad...we and the world of rock will miss you.
My deepest condolences to Brad's family & friends, I had the pleasure seeing Boston a few times, & even though I never met him, you got the impression Brad was a really Down to Earth, genuine good person. You will be missed.
We always hear the mention of singers such as Steve Perry and the like when it comes to incredible singers. I have always felt that Brad was often overlooked by the "experts" when it came to such a category. What an incredible singer he was, and by many accounts, an incredible person as well. The heartfelt thoughts and prayers of my family are extended to Brad's family and friends at this terrible loss.
A huge loss but what a legacy you have left behind.
What a horribly stunning thing to happen. Brad will always
be remembered, and never replaced. One of the greatest voices in rock history. he always sang like an angel, and now he is one.
I was totally shocked by this. I was looking forward to seeing Boston on tour this year. I was fortunate enough to see Boston twice on tour and to hear those songs live. We'll miss hearing that distinct voice live, but we will always have those great songs to treasure.
R.I.P. Brad
God bless you Brad. I will always remember your soaring vocals, and how energized I feel everytime I listen to Boston. The rock world is suddenly lacking today. My sincere condolances to your family and friends.
Brad's voice was one of the most original in Rock music...I've had a copy of the Boston album in every form imaginable...from LP to 8-Track To Cassette to CD. Still gives me chills when I listen to it...R.I.P Brad....My sincere condolescences to Pamela Sullivan for your loss.....
Wow , where do you start . I can only say seeing Boston at the 1987 Texxas Jam on their come back was one of those special moments in rock n roll. Brads voice and the band gave me and my friends so much pleasure that day.Boston was the band that gave me that true love for rock from 8 track to Lp you never could get tired of hearing Brad belt out those tunes. RIP Brad you will truely be missed and loved.
I really can't express how saddened I was to hear the news of Brad Delp's passing. He was a true vocalist in every sense of the word. His vocal ability soared beyond anything I had ever heard before. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and you would never meet a nicer guy. The world has lost not only a phenomenal talent but a genuine good soul. Godspeed Mr. Delp.
I can't believe it! One of the true FM Radio voices ever! I was looking forward to the next Boston album with some of Brad's magic voice on it, I'm bummed! As I write this I have my earphones on and your voice just pumping into my head, I can't believe your gone. There was definitly "Something About You"

odd in that for about a month now, whenever i have been in one of those modes where i am just singing out loud, I have been singing classic boston. and whenever anyone has heard me, not even having realized prior that i was a singer, all they said was 'wow...i love that! boston is still to this day one of my favoite bands even and that guy has a really awesome voice!'.
not everyone knew his name, but everyone remembers the tunes, remembers the words, remembers the voice.
love, and music...play...play...play!
brad was an immense talent....his voice was one of the best in aor and the debut album from boston influenced a generation of players and vocalists. His vocal stamp helped boston leave a wealth of songs that few bands will ever rival....
Brad,you'll ever be the Heart of Boston...
Boston's first album simply titled "BOSTON" still sounds fresh as it did when it was released in 1976.
Brad Delp will be missed but the music that he help create and define from when I was in junior high school in '76 will always be in the lives of the people past, present, and future.
Rest in peace Brad...

I'll never forget the first time I heard his voice. I can still picture that moment, that song. A couple years later, after playing air guitar to the first Boston LP over, and over again, I purchased the LP "Don't Look Back". The best part was, it was the first LP I ever bought with money I had made playing music. Thanks for the singing.....it was a huge part of my youth.

I was lucky to see Boston a few years back at Rock-Fest in Wisconsin. It was pouring rain but it was an awesome show to close out that years festival. I was planning on going to see them there this year as well. What heartbreaking news this is. I just can't believe it.
My all time favorite singer is gone. I loved Brad Delp's voice.
He had the voice of an angel and I'm sure he is singing away in Heaven right now. There will never be another. My heart goes out to his friends and family. What a loss.
God Bless You!
Danny
A singer that set the standard for so many that followed. Brad, your voice often sent chills down my spine. A truly gifted artist whose contribution to rock is immeasurable. God bless.
A true rock hero.I will miss Brad and what he brought to so many with his music.My prayers go out to his family and friends.
Brad was a huge musical influence on me. Boston was my first concert and part of the reason I've chosen to pursue music as a career. Brad has touched so many lives and he will be missed so much.
I am shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Brad Delp. Boston is one of my most favorite bands of all times...I have all of their albums and Brad's side projects. I saw them in concert a few years back and they rocked! I still can't believe this. I feel like I lost a family member. Brad, may you rest in peace and your voice as Boston will live in our hearts forever. RIP.
What can anyone say at this unfortunate time? This is such a huge loss for everyone. My saddest deepest regrets to the family first. He must have been such a great person to you all. To the rest of us, we lost some kind of piece of life. Boston took the world by storm, but everyone, as great as Tom Schultz is, talked about that guys with the pipes! He had the voice that will always shine thanks to the recordings. No other singer would have made that band explode like it did. I have so many memories and I just can't explain how sad this is for his loss. Brad, thank you from all ouf your fans. May you rest in peace! WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
Rest in Peace and God Bless! Some of my earliest and favorite memories of music are thanks to Brad!
What an incredible talent. A huge loss to the rock and roll world. Thoughts and prayers to Brad's friends and family.
We'll miss you, Brad
Boston is the best band to grace the airwaves and without Brad it would have never been the same. I still remember being a kid and hearing the first Boston Album on my dad's brand new stereo, it was the most incrediable thing I had ever heard. I have stood by Boston throughout the years and have bought every album without thinking twice, along with Orion the Hunter, RTZ and Barry's solo work. I have to say I thought it was a horrible mistake when I heard the news yesterday, but sadly it was not and I am still in total shock and grief, as I have lost a part of my childhood with the passing of Brad. I'll miss you!! I'll never forget that feeling I had when I first heard Boston, RIP Brad
Boston is the best band to grace the airwaves and without Brad it would have never been the same. I still remember being a kid and hearing the first Boston Album on my dad's brand new stereo, it was the most incrediable thing I had ever heard. I have stood by Boston throughout the years and have bought every album without thinking twice, along with Orion the Hunter, RTZ and Barry's solo work.

I'll miss you!! I'll never forget that feeling I had when I first heard Boston, RIP Brad
There are no words to express the shock I felt upon learning this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with Brad's family, friends and all of the fans around the globe.
Words can not express... May you rest in peace brother Brad!!! You will always have a special place in our hearts and soul...
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away...
heard the news last night, not really sure of what to say. of course those first two albums are legendary, but I REALLY started to get into the band after they released the "Third Stage" album. that disc is like a time capsule from those days. whenever I listen to it, it takes me back.
you will be missed, my friend.
One of the greatest rock vocalists ever has passed. This is a travesty that I compare to Elvis passing. Your voice and passion will be missed by me and many, many, others. The music and memories will always be cherished. Thank you Brad R.I.P.
Sure enough, I put on KSHE 95 in St. Louis and they're playing Boston. 'The' Voice of Boston. Rest in peace, Brad.
I know in this time of loss there are no words that can ease the pain as well as describe what Brad's family, friends and fans are feeling. Not one person could have seen this coming. As I think back to a younger time in my life, I remember hearing the vocals of a singer who was ahead of his time. Brad opened so many doors for artists who have tryed to follow in his foot steps. The inspiration and gift of his voice will always remain in our hearts. God Bless You Brad Delp!
To Brads family and friends my deepest condolences.Words can not describe how his music has touched my life.Brads music will be in my heart and soul for ever.
met Brad and the guys from RTZ when they came into Cincinnati, early 90's. They set up in a downtown studio and played live, my CHR station Q102 taped the whole thing and played it back. Fantastic, and easily one of the nicest guys I have ever met.
Haven't felt a musical loss like this since Jeffrey Porcaro.
RIP Mr. Delp.
The man with the golden voice, yet what will be missed the most is the person he was. He made everyone feel they were important.
Always on my mind, the Voice of my life. See ya Brad.
Stefano, Italy
May you rest in peace. You will be missed, that´s for sure. My deepest symphathy to family and friends.
How sad. We have lost one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. You will be missed!!!!!
Where do I start? Maybe 1977, when I purchased the debut Boston album. Whenever the rock world loses one of it's own, I am deeply saddened. I grew up with all these guys since I heard the first Zeppelin album in 1970. Your music has helped me through the best and worst times of my life. RIP Brad..."I hope to see you again someday, for the greatest concert of all time. You will always remain in our hearts and in our music." To Brad's friends, fans, and family: Our thoughts, good wishes, and prayers are with you. Rock on!
What an incredible vocalist. Saw him sing his heart out at Red Rocks a couple of years ago. He was fantastic. While serving in the military in the 80's, the smooth sounds of Brads voice always picked my spirits up. God has a new rocker to listen to now. Rest In Peace Brad, Thank You for the gift.
Being a Boston fan, since I first heard "More Than A Feeling" way back in 1976, my life will definetely be not the same without your voice. You will be sorely missed! R.I.P!
First concert I ever saw Boston in 78, Brad and the band intoduced me to rock music, 29 year and many Boston concerts later I am still a big fan . Thanks for the memories.
David Byron, Guy Speranza, Ray Gillen, just to name a few... And now Brad Delp... They all left this material world, but their voices will never be forgotten, in the hearts they have touched and inspired. R.I.P.
BOSTON was by far my favorite band. I saw them in concert six times between 1995 and 2004. I got to hang out backstage with Brad in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I saw him twice at Beatlejuice shows at Johnny D's outside Boston. I even went to the CD release party for the Brad Delp-Barry Goudreau album they released in 2003, at Hard Rock Cafe-Boston. I just can't believe this happened.
As a Pittsburgh resident, I remember how unfair it was for our city when we lost our mayor, Bob O'Connor, at age 61 from brain cancer. He was mayor only 8 months, and very well-liked. Brad was young, at 55. I just feel like I'm going through it again. Brad WAS the nicest man in rock n' roll. If you didn't know who he was walking down the street, you'd never know he fronted one of the hottest rock bands of the 1970s. I know he loved the Beatles. I hope he's up in Heaven partying with John Lennon and George Harrison.

Sad sad news. One of my wishes was to see Boston with Brad on vocals, this will never happen for me. We lost one of the best AOR/melodic rock singers. My condolences goes out to his family, friends and fans. Still we´ve got `your`songs as a great memory, you´ll be missed
One of the best voices in rock music has become silent, it's a very sad day, best wishes to his family, friends and band mates who will no doubt miss him most but the world will miss the voice. RIP Brad.
R.i.p. My thoughts of symphatizing goes to family & Friends.
Your music will live forever.
The world of music is a lesser place with this loss. What a graceful voice (and from all accounts, a graceful man). RIP Brad! Best wishes to his family and close friends.
grew up listening to his music - what a voice - rip.
My sincere condolences to Brad,s family and friends.
Brad Delp not only had the best voice in Rock 'n Roll he was also the most humble man.
Brad Delp will be honoured throughout history !
Absolute bummer. I guess God just wanted a better house band. We'll sure miss you Brad.
My sincere condolences to Brad,s family and friends.
Brad Delp not only had the best voice in Rock 'n Roll he was also the most humble man.
Brad Delp will be honoured throughout history !
What can i say? We all know that our time is limited and we should do the best we can with the time we have. Brad did that! I hope that all of Brad's loved ones know that they are not alone in mourning his tragic loss. The entire world of rock 'n' roll is right here for you!!! The house band in heaven just got 100% better. KEEP ON ROCKIN' BRAD!!!!!

I'm a semi-pro vocalist from Toronto, Canada & just wanted to say how big an influence Brad was on my career. Hands down one of the best rock vocalists ever. A sad loss for the whole music industry. I'll be cranking up the Boston tunes tonight. R.I.P.
words cannot describe what has happened. the greatest singer, and greatest band of all time. this is also the first time that a musician i have idolized so much, has passed on. ive only had the chance to see Boston at the last corporate america concert in toronto where i was lucky enough to high five brad in the front few multiple times during the most smokin' encore in rock and roll history. probably the coolest moment ive experienced. a huge loss. to the band, friends and fans, the music will live on forever, no one will forget the best singer in rock history.
Im speechless, its so sad and my thoughts goes to his family and friend. Rest In Peace, u will always be remembered.

Im always a bit in shock when you hear things like this. You don't wanna believe it's true. Brad's voice & Boston's music has been a staple in my life since their begining and it will be hard to imagine music without this voice. My prayers go out to the entire boston clan, past & present and most especially to the family who has been left behind! God Bless you all and Rock 'em up in heaven!
It is sad that you have passed, I thank you for what you gave to us in your music, God has taken another legend before their time. Your voice always fill me with the good times I had in life and that's how it will always remain. Rest in peace and condolences to your family, you will be missed. God Bless.
The God that created you blessed you with an amazing talent. He blessed us by letting us share it for more than 30 years now. As you return to him for your eternal rest, know that you have touched MANY whom you leave behind now. Thank you for sharing your amazing voice with us, my thoughts and prayers are with the family you leave behind. Rest in peace Brad, you will be missed but NEVER forgotten!
My condolences to his family, friends, and bandmates. I was blessed to see Boston at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, ND a couple years ago. Music is the storybook of our lives and I'm proud to have Boston as part of mine!!
"I had a really good time."
My heart is broken for such a gifted talenten man. His music is still something that brings me comfort when I need it, a companion when I have none and an overwhelming sense of joy everytime I hear him sing. He will be missed far more deeply that I can express with my own words. God bless his family and God bless you Brad, you touched so many people with your beautiful voice, and you will still continue to do this everytime I put your music on.
What a shocking event. Yesterday was a very sad day in melodic rock history. I hope he had recorded some tracks for the new Boston album and that Tom will release them and that the group will continue.
I saw Brad in concert just once - Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky on 9/27/87. He and I slapped hands as he returned for an encore.
On Tuesday night, my 10-year old son, Joshua, and I were eating dinner at CiCi's Pizza when the Daryl Hall and John Oates song "Private Eyes" came on. I felt very sentimental because I was in 5th grade when that song came out, 25 years ago, and now Joshua is in 5th grade.
News of Brad's death came on the day that Eddie Van Halen announced that he is entering rehab. I hope Eddie will take advantage of this chance at a better life, while there's still time.
The end is probably closer than any of us think. Appreciate those who mean the most to you - not just your favorite musicians but even more importantly your loved ones - while they're here. And make the most of your life here. And most important, make sure you're prepared to stand in the presence of a holy God.
"You could be dead tomorrow; today may be your last chance."

Brad left his mark on music history. Rest in Peace.
Wow. I'm speechless. The world has just lost a rock 'n roll legend. It's going to feel odd to hear Boston on the radio and know that Brad Delp is no longer with us. It's been a real tough year for passings. I mean, first with James Brown, and now Brad Delp. While Boston's self-titled debut will be remembered as one of the fastest selling debut albums of all time, I hope that people will remember Brad and Boston for their other classic albums such as Third Stage, Walk On and even Corporate America. I certainly hope that this isn't one of those deaths that people brush off as "oh, he died? that sucks." nor do I think that the world should stop all together. I think that at the next Boston Music Awards show, they should dedicate the evening to Brad. Because, well the music world has just lost a legend, and too damn soon. Goodspeed, Brad!!!
Your voice will be greatly missed.I am so lost for words,except to say,"your music has left beautiful memories for us all.
R.I.P. Brad you will be sadly missed.
A great loss for anyone who was a fan of Rock. We will truly miss you Brad. RIP.
"You'll forget about me after I've been gone" -Foreplay/Longtime
Never going to happen Brad. Boston will remain the soundtrack to my life until my last breath.
I heard it on the news last night driving home from band practice....I'm still in shock. Brad, thanks for the memories and the great music. You may be with God now, but your voice will live on forever here on earth, in our hearts, and on our stereos, car radios, ipods, and anywhere else good music is played. May you rest in peace & God bless your soul.
I just realized that I don't know what to say. I'm shocked. We will all miss an awesome talent and human being. My sincere condolensces to friends and family.
Thank you Brad, for the tender times with fans, for special memories, and for bringing the music to life. I can see a huge smile on your face when John Lennon and George Harrison as you to join them for a few songs.Beatle Juice and Boston will never be the same.
wow! this sucks! i grew up in the 70's with boston and am bumed at this news. condolences go out to the delp family. now i am going to fire up a hogg legg and throw on some boston!!!!!!!!!! rip brad
What a shocker. Hard to believe. Just a great, great singer. Very, very sad. My heart goes out to his family. May his voice get the respect it deserves forever...
I was shocked to hear the news. Brad's voice was amazing and
always instantly identifiable. My condolences to Brad's
family, friends, bandmates and fans.
God bless you Brad. Your talent, energy and gift of music has touched the hearts of millions.
Great songs last forever...Thank you Brad Delp for thirty years of melody, and beauty. Rock on brother, you will not be forgotten...

I'm shocked!!! Me and the world lost one of the biggest singer ever in Rock'n Roll History. Tonight at my DJ Job I have to play two or threee thongs to remind people about this amazing singer. R.I.P Brother. Eddy from Southern Germany
a great singer, we will miss you.
Brad you were on of the best in the business a great loss .
What a tremendous loss to the music industry. Mr. Delp's beautiful voice and music will always be timeless. May peace be with his family in this time of sorrow; and know that his music touched many lives.
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
Truly one of the greatest voices EVER. I'll never forget how much I was blown away the first time I heard the original Boston album. Thank God for recordings so that I can continue to enjoy the awesome talent the man had. May he rest in peace.
It is a sad day for music indeed. One of the greatest, most recognizable voices in rock - Brad will most definitely be missed. Rest assured Brad, your music will live on forever. Best wishes to Brad's friends and family in this difficult time. R.I.P.
Devastated.....From the first time seeing them during the don't look back tour, first 3 nights of the 87 Third Stage tour in Worcester, to an intimate private show at the House of Blues, priveldegded to see meet him at their photo shoot prior to hitting the road on the greatest hits tour and then again at their cd release part for Coporate America and numerous Beatle Juice shows. Brad became part of my family. He was never too busy to say hello. My dream was to take my two girls to see them this summer. This is a tragic loss for anyone that ever had the pleasure to meet him. A Piece of me died with him.
I can tell
There's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life was leading me on
but I can be strong
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind
RIP, Brad. I'll make sure I spin a Boston CD for you tonight.
Don't look back
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day
I can see
It took so long to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to comprimise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind
It's a new horizon and I'm awakin' now
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin'
the clouds are breakin'
'Canse I can't lose now, there's no game to play
I can tell
There's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life was leading me on
but I can be strong
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind
What a great bunch of music he left behind for all of us to enjoy. THANK YOU and God bless Brad's Family and friends at this time.
To hear that Brad passed away was such bad news. All those times spent listening to his magic voice. Boston has also been a huge influence on me musically and also our own band, Danger Avenue. He seemed such a nice & funny man as well. My condolences to all of his family and friends. R.I.P Brad, your music will alwys live on
/Thomas
I was very sad to hear this news. From everything I've been reading, he sounded like a great guy on a personal level, aside from his outstanding vocals. He will be missed.
Like mamy here, the words are hard to come by. Brad was one of the nicest people in the world, that never let the business change who he was. His music and spirit will last forever. It's a shamw they needed a lead singer and nicem man so badly at the stage from above.
RIP Brad, you will be missed.
I just logged on this morning and was shocked to see the news of Brad's passing. So young; only 55 years old. The rock and roll world has lost one of the most recognized voices of the classic era. Brad, may you find peace and thank you for all the beautiful sounds. God Bless....
From time to time the world receives a rare gift, Brad Delp was one of those gifts. A voice that made millions of people feel good. He inspired me to become a singer.

I am truly saddened. It was only yesterday when I took a moment to marvel, yet again, at how magnificent Brad's voice is-even after 30 years of listening to him. The magic of his voice never wore off. Neither will the memories.
Rest in Peace Brad...
One of the saddest days in rock history as one of its greatest frontmen passes away,may he continue to rock the heavens,rest in peace Brad,I will see you in heaven in a few to join that "Party"
I got home from the studio last night and was going to check my email when I saw the headline on Yahoo!. This wave of emotions came over me when I read the news. I felt like crying. I really didn't know what to say. This is the first time a loss to the music industry has hit me this way.
I will be playing Boston all weekend in memory of Brad Delp. R.I.P., my friend.
I can only wish to be half the musician, and half than man Brad Delp was -
..."A Man I'll never be"...
May god bless you my friend. You were the source of albums and songs that made a positive impacted me in my youth and still reign heavily in my musical life. The mighty voice is gone but the memory lasts forever. BOSTON music will continue to be played throughout the world for many more years to come.
Brad was one of the elite singers to come out of the 70s. Aside from Steve Walsh, no one could touch him. Third Stage is my favorite Boston album and I love the two RTZ CDs. Has there ever been a better vocal than on "Until Your Love Comes Back Around"? Unbelievable. Harmonizing with himself all the time....what a talent. What a voice. God bless him. Thank you for the great music Brad. R.I.P.
- Ryan
I was so fortunate to see you perform at The Gorge and The Rose Garden last decade. I've literally listened to you all my life. Thank you for enriching it. Christ bless.
Thank you Brad for being such a great man. Your humility and kindness is inspirational and you will be missed. I want to let you know that you and Boston have made a difference in my life.
To Brad's family---you are in our prayers.
One of the greatest Rock singers EVER! The voice of Brad Delp has motivated me, encouraged me and brought me to tears. This is truly a sad day. Thank God for the gift of Brad singing while we had him. My thoughts are with his friends and family.
Thanks for a lifetime of great music and memories. Rest in Peace Bradley
Brad, we miss you more that you will ever know; My condolences goes out to your family, friends and fans. Your voice will be in my heart FOREVER. May you rest in peace. Goodbye
the worlds greatest singer will be missed by a huge Boston fan from Norway....rest in peace Brad
What is there to say about one of the most powerful, emotive, and dynamic voices I have ever heard in music. When I first heard "Don't look back" as a teen, I was taken in by that voice and its ability to transport me to another place. As a singer myself, I still cannot sing the way this man did. His voice was phenomenal and continues to influence my style to this day.
My condolences to Brad's family, friends and his band.. you will be missed..
("Used to Bad News" has a whole different meaning when I listen to it now..)
i am so sorry to hear this. brad was a true rock and roll legend. my condolences to his family and friends. rip brother.
...to his family and fiancee, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I grieve with you. "...Gonna hitch a ride, head for the other side, ...carry me away for the last time..."
So many memories of listening to his music with friends and family over the years. The soundtrack to so many of our lives. I was lucky enough to see Boston 5 times over the years and one moment stands out the most. We had 4th. row center seats and we were walking down the aisle just as the show was starting. Brad came right to the edge of the stage in front of us and I raised my fists in the air in salute and he gave us a big smile and a wave. Truly nice guy and I am saddened at the loss.
Boston was one of the first bands I took notice of and Brad's voice led the way. Their music sounds as fresh today as the day it was released. my deepest sympathy to his family. I'm sure that all of us fans will keep his memory burning brightly. RIP.
We've lost a good friend today. For me as with many others i'm sure, BOSTON was one of the first "Must Have" gems that every kid had in their collection, to be played over and over in your car stereo while cruising with friends on the weekends, taking every moment of the music and words that inspired not only my generation, but all subsequent generations to follow. As soon as you heard Brad's voice you knew right away who it was. The music he helped create over the years with BOSTON is timeless and still as vibrant today as it was 30 years ago. My heartfelt condolences to Brad's family and friends as well as his extended music family, the fans. We'll miss you. Thank you for being a big part of my life. Rest in peace.
Brad ,your vocals have inspired me for so many years ,from the days of boston to rtz . You will be missed very much , you were one of a kind, The world has lost a great performer. may you rest in peace .
This is a sad day in music history, My condolences to your friends, family and bandmates. Believe it or not, this morning I had to go to school as always on a saturday and I alway's pic an album from my collection to play in my car. Today it was the greatest hits album from Boston...and I hadn't played it for some time. I came home and checked the internet for news and the first thing I see is Brad has past away....this is weird, Brad I think the angels have spoken today and may you sing with them !
My condolences to the Delp family and our extended family of rock and roll. R.I.P. Brad. Your voice will never be forgotten and will live on forever. You have impacted people's lives more than you ever possibly imagined.
This is such a shock. One of the greatest voices in Rock and Roll. So many great songs over the years. His music will touch many hearts for years to come. My condolences to his family and friends.
my sister gave me a copy of "boston" on 8-track for my birthday back in '76, and subsequently ran off with it for months. when i finally stole it back from her, i listened to it until it completely gave out; in comes the vinyl version of the album, which i still have to this day as well as my vinyl version of "don't look back". these two were definitely in my favorites-of-all-time list. brad delps voice was incredible. i had a hard time accepting boston without the other three guys in the band and stopped listening after "third stage". however, i had recently decided that seeing them live with just brad and tom from the original unit was better than nothing, and brads voice was the deciding factor for me. i was really hoping for the summer dates to bring them close to florida so that i could finally see him sing those songs, but i guess that has passed. R.I.P. brad delp. your contributions to rock will never be forgotten...
Brad will be greatly missed by thosed he touched....family, friends, the fans. I for one was touched by his honesty and sincerity through the music. May his music live on through us all, and keep us just as real. RIP,my friend.
rest in peace -fans from greece
It is almost unreal to get such a sad message like this. One of the true giants in the history of rock music is no longer with us. You passed away much too early, Brad, but your legacy will surely live on through the wonderful music you made and sang. May you rest in peace.
I heard the news earlier yesterday. Brad's music has graced radio since I was a kid. His music and his voice touched many and always will. He won't be forgotten. RIP!!
Another one of the really good ones have left us way too early.
Boston´s first album was my dooropener to the melodic rock scene. I´ve been playing that and other albums featuring Brad Delp´s unique voice all morning.Thank You for giving me much more than a feeling. May You rock in heaven!
Deepest condolences to his family and closest friends. Brad and the music he was part of was, is and always will be able to move me like very few other bands ever could. Boston always will be a huge part of the soundtrack to my life. R.I.P you will be hugely missed, there will be some amazing gigs starting in heaven right about now!
This further proves only the good die young. Brad, you are one of the main reasons I love rock and roll. You are and will always be one of the true rock lead vocalists. I will never forget feeing you in concert with Tom and the gang. The music you made with Boston will always endure. I have all five studio cds as well as the Greatest Hits cd. God bless you and your family.
WOW! A Friend told me this news last evening..I think My Jaw dropped to the floor!!...Brad Had One Of the most Powerful vocies in rock n roll!!! He will be sadly missed!!...During my Electric Lunch show on Monday expect and hour of BOSTON...THANX FOR THE MUSIC BRAD!!
Boston's "Don't Look Back", was on the first cassette ever purchased for me. I immediately fell in love with the band. I played that cassette, and that song so much that it wore out. Here I was, five years old, and already getting in trouble for playing the music too loud. For playing Boston too loud. I remember a classmate making fun of me in junior high for liking Boston. (I think he was listening to Vanilla Ice.) I remember hearing RTZ on the bus on the way to high school. Then I heard Boston and Brad's music in my car, on the planes deploying me overseas, during college........right now. I never changed my tune. I literally grew up with Brad Delp and Boston. I'm still growing up with them. Boston's music was much 'More Than A Feeling' for me. It was a celebration of life, the overcoming of struggle, the strength for moving on. R.I.P, Mr. Delp. You were NOT just another band out of Boston. You were part of the band that helped make this boy into a man.
Imagine idolizing a singer since you were in high school, then many years later getting to meet him a few times, and finding out he was the nicest, most caring, compassionate individual you could ask for. That's my Brad story. We scheduled a vacation to New England so we could see Beatlejuice last Fall, and we are so glad that we did. Who'd have thought it would be the last?
RIP Brad - you were simply THE BEST!!!
It is with tears in my eyes that the news reaches me, you are indeed missed and my thoughts go out to your family and friends - rest in peace Brad.
A truly sad day in music. Brad you will be missed. Great to interview you in Dallas a few years back. You and John Lennon will make great music together. May God bless.
I was really shocked when i read that Bred Delp has passed away, it is truly a sad day for his family and for the friends of his majestic music!
I am deeply saddened to hear that Brad passed away at such a young age. His gift to all of us was his beautiful voice and gentle soul that resonated through the music he created. I was fortunate enough to see Brad perform once with Boston and he seemed to be so genuine and humble that I believe he was certainly a very fine human being. RIP Brad. Your beautiful voice has now been added to the heavenly choir. May you sing beautifully for all eternity.
rest in peace -fans from greece

Thank you for the great music and melody.
So sad to hear about Brad's passing. I have so many fond memories of that first Boston album. I was six years old when it came out and my dad loved that album. I feel like a piece of my childhood has been taken away. Rest in peace, Brad! We loved you!
Brad Delp will be mised in my family. He was a fine vocalist and his music with Boston will live on forever in our ears and our hearts!!! Rock on in heaven Brad!!!
Thanks for the wonderful songs that have given me so many wonderful memories. Thanks for being so gracious when I met you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful voice with the world. RIP, you will be missed so very, very much.
How sad to die so young, your memory will remain with us always as will all your wonderful songs, god bless

We lost one of the greats. My prayers go out to his family.
Boston was my very first concert back in '78. Man, the memories.This is devastating news.My heart is broken.My thougts and prayers go out to Brads family and friends.Your music will never be forgotten.May GOD in heaven bless you.
A heavenly voice, now hopefully, in a heavenly place.
Many of years have I heard that voice! Everyone dies, but this was way too soon.
One of the greatest voices in rock-n-roll. You may have left us, but your music forever lives on. RIP.

Brad's voice has been a fixture on my turntable and CD player for some 30 years, and his music has touched my life. To his family and bandmates, I express sincere condolences. May the thoughts, prayers and well wishes of his fans be a comfort you at this difficult time.
The world lost a truly great human being,RIP
I hold every Boston and RTZ album very close to my heart, and now that Brad is gone, I feel a piece of my heart has been torn away. Hearing Brad sing on those early Boston albums still sends chills down my spine, even after so many listens and so many years have gone by. He will be missed but never forgotten. RIP.
I saw Brad and Boston in one of many sold out shows in Worcester back in 86. It was a night I will always remember. Thanks for the memories Brad. You will be missed.
Rock n Roll has lost one of it's greatest voices...sad and shocked to hear the news. His music will live on forever though. R.I.P Brad
One of the most inspiring voices and musicians ever... My deepest condolences to the family, friends, bandmates and everyone who will miss him.
No need for comparisons - this is the saddest I have felt for a departed musician. There has not been and will be anyone like him. The best voice of rock & roll, bar none. After 30 years of rock concerts, the only one that made me rip my shirt out of shear emotion was Boston. Brad and the band will live forever.

The world has truly lost a legendary voice. Their is a reason most cover bands never do Boston songs. Its just not possible to sing this good. Brad was one of a kind. My condolences to his family, friends and the entire Boston community. The beautiful thing about music is we all get to continue to listening long after, and that is a incredible Legacy. There is only one Brad Delp. You will be missed.
Thanks for all the music and the good memories, Brad's music will live on forever.
I agree with everyone else. This weekend just turned sour. I will throw on some Boston though to liven up things. It has always done it in the past and will always continue to do so. What a voice...and what a person from what I here. You sure don't find those two qualities that much in the music biz from the same person. I guess heaven has a better choir today! :) RIP Brad...love ya here in NC!
Thank-You Brad, For enriching our lives with Your voice and positive attitude!The memories will live on forever and Your spirit and talent will live on forever and continue to inspire people every day.God bless You Brad!!!!!!!!!
I never met you, I only new you from the music that touched my soul. You will be missed.
R.I.P. Brad Delp, thank you for your voice to the rock & roll world. You will be missed, god bless you and your family.
I am still stunned. Boston was the band that got me into melodic music. His soaring vocals would lift me out of any funk I was in. It's hard to believe I will never get to see him in concert again.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP Brad.
Truly one of the best and defining voices of rock is gone. Depressing on so many levels... I was all excited to go see them this summer, for the new album, for the loss of one of rock's greatest talents, and most importantly, the loss of one of rock's true "nice guys." I never got the chance to meet Brad, but seeing him perform live twice with Boston, as well as all the other accounts of people fortunate enough to have met him, we just lost a very good man, all talent aside. Devastating. Another rocker gone way before his time. R.I.P. Brad... you will be missed!
I'll be listening to Boston all day today in tribute.
Brad was and will always be one of the greatest singers of any kind that I have ever heard. Boston was one of the few bands who's music never gets old. Will be sadly missed
i still listen to his words and music to this day...never met him...but it feels like i knew him well. thank you for the music and feelings that will last my lifetime.....
RIP Brad. Your voice is a big part of the soundtrack of my life. You will be missed but you will not be forgotten. My condolences to your family and friends.
R.I.P. Brad. You will be dearly missed . When i heard the
tragic news flashbacks of 8th grade up to my sophomore year
in high school rushed in! I STILL have the 1st album and
"Don't Look Back" on vinyl . Brad , your amazing voice
will ALWAYS LIVE on my stereo dude . My sincere
condolences to the Delp family . God bless.
This is just another reason I can't wait to go to Heaven, to see and hear Brads voice once again. The wonderful stories about Brad are all true, he was a beloved musician and friend, and he cared deeply for his fans (and there's millions of them).
I miss him already, and I'm sure he misses us, but we'll all get to sing a song togther with him and Freddie Mercury in Heaven. what a show that will be! Love goes out to Brad, the entire Delp family, Tom Scholz and the Boston alumni.
It is not often that I am saddened when a famous personality passes away, because it always seems to be the same old story. But this time, my world stopped. I am a HUGE Boston fan and Brad Delp is the reason. He was not your typical rock and roll personality. Throughout his career, he kept a day job, took care of himself and his family, did not abuse himself with substances and was all around one of THE kindest souls in this industry. I have met Brad and had the pleasure of getting to know a man whose voice and whose bands sound will NEVER be duplicated. They were originals in a time where originals rarely existed. The last time I spoke with Brad, he was very excited to be going back out on the road with Boston this suumer, as they were lined up to do shows with REO, Styx, Foreigner and possibly Journey. To Brad's family, some of whom I have met.....my heart is broken for you on this day. To anyone who wants to share memories of how his music affected your life, please e-mail me.
I am deeply saddened. A truely remarkable talent has been lost, and the music world seems a little emptier today. Thank you Brad, for all the wonderful performances over the years.
Rest in Peace Brad and thank's for all the great memories. My first concert was seeing Boston with Sammy Hager at the Bayfront Center in the late 70's and it's a concert I will never forget.
More than a singer... Your voice will always inspire us... Thanks Brad we'll miss you...
A sad loss.R.I.P.
Great loss for a great legendary band. 1st ever Boston show for me was the 03 Corporate America tour & I thought I was listening to their studio album, the range was awesome & fun. Been a huge fan since 3rd stage but this news was shocking & VERY saddening.
RIP Brad. There will NEVER be another vocalist like you..again!
One of the Greats.........sadly missed....fondest memories.....
MUSIC IS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS A HUMAN BEING CAN DO THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.
MUSIC IS NOT MATERIAL,IT IS IN THE AIR AND CAN BE EVERYWHERE AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY.
THE VOICE AND MUSIC OF BRIAN DELP WILL BE HEARD UNTIL THE END OF TIMES.
THANX FOR HAVING SHARED YOUR GIFT WITH US.
R.I.P.
The world has truly lost an amazing talent. My brother named his daughter after the hit Amanda. Now we will think of Brad everytime we say her name. Thanx for the memories Brad. May you rest in peace!
It's a very sad day indeed. Rock has lost one it's greats. Brad may you rest in peace.
I am in total shock! The best vocalist in Rock N' Roll has passed on to greener pastures. I know Brad will be singing up in heaven with the angels. My heart and prayers go out to Brad's family and to the remaining members of Boston.
Your music and voice has been with me through much of my life....good and bad...you have been there like a good friend...your voice...your passion will be missed. Thank you and rest in love and peace
Absolute devastation. This is heart wrenching news for me. I have always adored this man and his music. Right up there with Steve Perry for me as the Greatest singer i have EVER heard. What a tragic waste of such a talent. May you R.I.P Brad, and thank you so very much for your the memories of you i shall always treasure.
Brad, you are an amazing man. Very humble and gracious.
You are a legend !!
You & Tom Scholz have stood up to Corporate America unlike any other band !!!
Rest in Peace my Friend !!!
My first music memory was a Boston concert when I was 5 years old. I want to thank Brad for years of great memories and for all of his contributions to rock and roll. He will be missed as an entertainer but even more so by those who knew him best. My condolences to his family and to all who had the pleasure of wokring with him. Rest in peace- You knew what it took to be a man.
Goodbye Brad.... your voice was more than a feeling...
Rest in peace.
Can't believe he is gone!!!! sad sad day,truly one of the coolest guys I ever met. R.I.P. Brad
in Puerto Rico Brad was one of the legends of rock who teach us the art of rock & roll...may u rest in peace .
A very sad day... Brad was one of the best in the business and will be missed. Condolences to his family, friends, bandmates and fellow fans. RIP Brad and thank you for being a part of the "soundtrack of my life". So sad...
You will be missed.. truly.
Wow, I'm in shock. I'm from the New England area so Boston was alway big around here. I remember seeing them as part of 9 sold out nights at the Worcester Centrum. What an event! Everytime they came around it was like a big party. Brad and his voice will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Rest In Peace Brad, and thanks for all of your music you have left us.
Like everyone else I am stunned. Simply a brilliant singer ! Thank you for those unforgettable vocals which will live on and on...RIP

I´m devastated...... Boston is my fav band, and Brad Delp my all time fav singer.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
R.I.P Brad.

Without a doubt one of the sadest days in the history of music. Brad was one of "the voices" of the AOR- and melodic rock, a true legend. Rest In Peace...
the world is worse off today with this sad sad news

Very sad news.
Thanks for the music, thanks for the feelings.

Dont look back, A new day is breakin
Its been too long since I felt this way
I dont mind where I get taken
The road is callin, Today is the day
The first rock n roll song I ever listened to! God Bless.
Growing up in the 70s,every kid had that first Boston album,it was like a lesson in rock and roll.Boy did I ever wear out the grooves on Boston S/T,Don't Look Back and Third Stage.
That voice was a very big part of the soundtrack of my youth and my adulthood.
Don't look back Brad RIP

We've lost a true legend in Brad Delp, One of the greatest voices of all time, The music will live on forever, Rest In Peace
Very sad news ..... I seen Boston at the Old Bingley Hall and it was a great show .... Brad had one of the most recognised voices in rock and will be sadly missed
I know it is too early to start looking at this but maybe next Summer a Brad Delp memorial concert could be put together with Boston headlining...... and other rock stars taking turns to sing the songs.
One word can sum up the untimely passing of a true "Legend" in the world of music , and that is "SHOCK" . It was only yesterday that I heard on my local radio station that Boston and REO Speedwagon will be performing together this summer where I live and this horrible news hits the airwaves the very next day. Brad , you will never be forgotten because you will leave "more than a feeling" in the world of music now that you have found peace.
What a loss this is to his fans everywhere. His vocals will always be remembered as some of the best in the world of Rock and Roll. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Farewell good friend, sing some great songs for the Lord and Angels in heaven.
This is for sure the sadest news I heard this year . Brad has always been one of my favourite vocalist and it's hard to hear he isn't among us anymore . I would like to speak out my condolences to his family and friends . Brad will always be in my heart and the songs he sung on will always be remembered as highlights in the AOR genre .
Brad was truly an amazing singer who could make you shiver at times. He was a true star with an incredible passion for what he did. He will be truly missed. May GOD bless you Brad!!!
This is truly a sad day...
My thoughts to his family and friends.
R.I.P. Brad.
Thanks for your voice.
Sad, sad news. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family and friends. Your music lives on, may you rest in peace.
I was astonished to read Brad's officially announce of his dead on Andrew's board! Guys, this man had SUCH a voice and a unique way of singing...
All my honours maestro.
R.I.P
"Your spirit will survive through voice".
Music will never be the same. Brad was an inspiration for all music lovers, his talent and devotion will never be forgotten. We will miss you forever... more than a feeling! God bless you!
My thoughts and prayers to brads family. What a great loss to the world of music.
R.I.P
A shocking and tragic loss of a tremendous talent and human being, gone way too soon. Thanks Brad, for sharing your gifts with us through the years. They, along with your memory, will live on.
My sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends and bandmates.
a true giant of the melodic rock world as passed away,but your wondeful music will last an eternity, rest in peace brad our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.
what a voice the guy had!!! will always be remembered in the music he made. RIP brad. x
Loved Boston, loved RTZ, loved Brad's voice. A great shame. He will be sadly missed. RIP.
Had it not been for those first two 'immense' Boston albums I'd have never been introduced to the wonders of AOR. Ironic therfore that I'm off to see Journey for the first ever time tonight. Brad had an incredible voice and will be sorely missed. Really hope JSS and the boys do a song by Boston tonight! Keep rockin' my friend.
Rest In Peace...
Words cannot describe how terrible a loss I feel in the passing of Brad. I'm shocked to the core. He was one of the best vocalist in the industry. Boston has always been my favorite band. They set the standard by which I judge, to this day, all other bands. To his family and friends, my deepest sympathy and regards to you. He will be, is already, missed.
May God bless him and keep him close.
"A legendary voice of melodic rock." How true. My thoughts are with the family & friends. Many of us fans have lost a true idol. Brad had an unique voice and it surely will be missed...
Thank God for the music Brad has recorded so that I can keep listening for years to come.
A legend is silenced. A great peice, of the soundtracks to all of our lives, has just left us. I can only hope Brad finds a magic cloud to rest upon.
May he always look down on us from above, as we soldier on, in our rock and roll worlds.
BRAD DELP : We love you, and may God keep you safe.
R.I. P, my friend.
Tom
devastating news a true rock legend
rest in peace brad you were the best
To Brad's Family, Boston and fans of Brad. Brad has been SUCH an inspiration to me musically. As a singer, how could I not listen to the passion he poured into his voice? He was probably the best singer I'd ever listened to. He had a knack of making everynote he sang so beautiful. So much power and emotion here. His unmistakable style made him, to me, the perfect rock singer. I've seen him perform live and I always stood in awe and almost in disbelief that someone could sound so incredible. It's sad that Brad passed away, but the world is a better place because of his contributions. His voice could always calm me on one hand and keep my other fist pumping with enthusiasm. Brad you certainly left your mark in the world and you'll be so sorely missed. Thanks for all you've done. Rest in Peace Brother. Mike Allen - Kansas City
I had the fortune of seeing Boston live in London at the height of their career. There were aweseome and Brad's vocals were out of this world. I real lose to the world of AOR/Melodic Rock.
RIP - your music will live on!
sad news ,rest in heavenly peace another sad loss to music
Rest in Peace
Such a huge loss! I had the opportunity to see Boston and Brad a few times, and it was (to say the least) a great experience. I also had the pleasure of meeting Brad once, and he was the nicest guy in the world! Truly a great loss -- but your music will live on forever!!!
This is the first time a rock star/celebrity has passed away that has hit me very hard. Brad's voice has actually helped me become the person I am. It was the heart behind the voice that always seemed to reach out to transorm a moment into a beatiful memory. Thank you, Brad...you will be missed.
I really don't know what to say. I found out from the yahoo news, and I really find it hard to diggest such news. R.I.P. Brad, may the angels take care of you. We, the remaing ones, will always treasure what you left behind. Condolences to family,friends and all of us.
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!!!!
Wow...I really don't know what to say.Brad was one of the nicest guys I have ever had the chance of meeting.My condolences goes out to his family,friends and fans.He will be sorely missed.
