RonJonSurfer Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Police: Delp Committed Suicide with Carbon Monoxide The lead singer of the rock band Boston was found dead at his New Hampshire home Friday. Boston lead singer Bradley Delp's family says that he committed suicide through carbon monoxide poisoning, according to WGIR-FM. The 55-year-old was found dead in his New Hampshire home Friday. The family released a statement, but gave no other details on how the star died, however WGIR-FM reports that Delp left a suicide note. "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." Boston had a number of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including "More Than a Feeling," "Peace of Mind," and "Foreplay/Long Time." When not working with Boston, Delp played in a Beatles cover band called Beatlejuice. The band's official website was taken down Friday and replaced with this message: "The nicest, kindest, most caring, down to earth rock star the world has ever known. May you rest in Peace." Boston was going to rehearse throughout May, then set out on a big tour in June. A new Boston album was being worked on, although its exact status is unknown. Delp was also planning to get married to longtime girlfriend Pamela Sullivan this summer. World Entertainment News Network contributed to this story. Copyright © 2003-2007 Clear Channel.

Lucky Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Very sad, indeed. Consider the fact that police recieved a phone call, from the home. One wonders if he changed his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Wasn't he supposed to be getting married this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Yes he was, it is tragic. But so many people suffer from depression and never do anything about it, they feel ashamed. Being someone who did suffer from it for many years, there is no shame in getting help and getting your life on track. I hope he is at peace now. A great loss.
