LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 9, 2020…THIRTEEN YEARS AGO BRAD DELP, THE LEAD SINGER OF ‘BOSTON’ DIED AT THE AGE OF 55. DELP COMMITTED SUICIDE BY CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AT HIS HOME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE DIED FROM THE SMOKE OF 2 CHARCOAL GRILLS HE LIT INSIDE HIS SEALED MASTER BEDROOM. HE WAS FOUND BY POLICE WITH A NOTE CLIPPED TO HIS SHIRT WHICH READ “MR. BRAD DELP. I AM A LONELY SOUL.” SIX MONTHS BEFORE BRAD TOOK HIS LIFE HE DROPPED BY THE BONE STUDIOS, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, BRAD DELP WAS ONE OF THE NICEST GUYS I HAD EVER MET. HE DROPPED BY THE SHOW TO PLUG A BEATLES SIDE PROJECT HE WAS INVOLVED WITH CALLED ‘BEATLEJUICE’
DELP WAS OF COURSE BEST KNOWN AS BOSTON’S LEAD SINGER. DELP SANG ALL LEAD AND ALL HARMONIES ON BOSTON’S ALBUMS, INCLUDING ALL LAYERED VOCAL OVERDUBS. BOSTON’S DEBUT ALBUM SOLD OVER 20 MILLION COPIES.
RIP BRAD DELP, YOU ARE MISSED. HERE’S DELP WITH BOSTON
