The singer who belted out 1970s rock classics including “More Than a Feeling” and “Long Time” has died.
Brad Delp, the front man for the band Boston, was found dead at his Atkinson, New Hampshire home Friday. He was 55.
Police discovered the singer’s body when they responded to a call for help. Delp was apparently alone in the home and authorities say there are no signs of foul play. The cause of death is still being investigated and more details are expected Monday.
While Boston is best known for the hits it produced in the 1970s, the band released an album in 2002 entitled “Corporate America”.
The band’s last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston’s Symphony Hall.
Delp joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an MIT student interested in using experimental methods to record music. The band’s greatest success came with the release of its self-titled debut album which contained the 1976 chart-topper “More Than a Feeling”.
The band’s official website only displayed the message “We’ve just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll” Saturday.
