The Associated Press

ATKINSON, N.H. -- Brad Delp, the lead singer for Boston, a huge rock sensation in the 1970s, was found dead Friday in his home, police said. He was 55.

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

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

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

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

The lead singer from Chicago is the prime suspect.

Admit it: you had that saved up all day and were waiting for someone to post.

I'm sure Jimbo made out to that song big time.

Nope, that was actually my first thought when I saw the thread title.

[trueD]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was hoping for more of the robotic-type concert I attended in the late 70's.

Seroiusly, I adored the group. Their lyrics were mostly shallow but the music addictive. Is there a song with a better opening guaitar lick than "Long Time"? Not in my world!

Are you sure it wasn't the lead singer from Kansas????

The lead singer from Little Texas was in the lineup.

Play, Play, Play! rocked.

[David Bowie]

That made me so sad when I Read that ): I loved Boston. In fact, I've been waking up to the song "more then a feeling" almost everyday now for the past four years now. (It's the cd in my alarm.

[ShoogarBear]

I actually lived in Boston during their heyday. Their guitar player was an MIT grad.

Needless to say, I got very sick of them.

Without knowing specific specifics, Boston's Tom Scholz was the mastermind behind the Boston sound and, after signing a record deal with a record label .... had a feud with the label and refused to record for the 6 year duration of the contract.

[Shelly]

I wonder what he died from. 55 is pretty young.

BOSTON is a classic album. I remember cruising and hearing BOSTON coming from almost every car. One of those bands whose music takes me back to better days.

Well, at least your Social Security benefits kicked in at the same time.

Hey, JB...did you hear back from the Consumerist?

[trueD]

Look, he really DOES look like Mouse. Goudreau looks like Geoff Petrie too.

Here's the most recent pic of Petrie (you'd be surprised how few pics of Petrie there are on the Google search), but I couldn't find one of mouse to display. Can anyone help?

Boston had some great songs

[Viva Las Espuelas]

CONCORD, N.H.(AP) The family of Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, said his death was a suicide.

In a statement relayed Wednesday through police, the family said gave no other details of the 55-year-old Delp's death at his Atkinson home on Friday. Police have said his fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, found him there.

"He was a man who gave all he had to give to everyone around him, whether family, friends, fans or strangers," the statement said. "He gave as long as he could, as best he could, and he was very tired. We take comfort in knowing that he is now, at last, at peace."

The statement said Sullivan, Delp's children and his mother, Micki Delp, were grateful for the sympathy they had received.
