Brad Delp, the lead singer for the
band Boston, was found dead Friday in his home in southern New
Hampshire. He was 55.
Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. and found
Delp dead. Lt. William Baldwin said in a news release that there
was no indication of foul play.
"There was nothing disrupted in the house. He was a fairly healthy
person from what we're able to ascertain," Police Chief Philip
Consentino told WMUR-TV.
Delp apparently was alone at the time, Baldwin said.
The cause of death remained under investigation. Police said an
incident report would not be available until Monday.
Delp sang on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Long
Time." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate
America," released in 2002.
He joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an
MIT student interested in experimental methods of recording music,
according to the group's official Web site. The band enjoyed its
greatest success and influence during its first decade.
The band's last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston's
Symphony Hall.
On Friday night, the Web site was taken down and replaced with the
statement: "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."
A call to the Swampscott, Mass., home of Boston guitarist Barry
Goudreau was not immediately returned Friday night.
