We are expecting a confirmation within a few days of a tribute for Brad Delp planned by his son and daughter. In response to their invitation, BOSTON has offered to play a short set on Aug 19th along with a number of other artists they have invited, although the list of acts and other details of the event have not been confirmed as of yet. We understand the venue has been changed to the Pavilion on Boston Harbor, formerly Harbor Lights.

BOSTON is going ahead with preparations to appear; we plan to perform six or seven songs. Michael Sweet (Stryper), Mickey Thomas (Jefferson Starship), and Sammy Hagar have all offered to sing for BOSTON in place of Brad. We have also invited Barry Goudreau, Fran Sheehan, and Sib Hashian to join us on stage for the last song, "Don't Look Back," which will be sung by Fran Cosmo.

All of us are currently very busy with other projects, including completing some new BOSTON studio recordings. However, we are excited about getting together for this short performance, and will make time to get it together by August 19th.

See you there!

Looks like the rumored show honoring the late Brad Delp will take place after all. Word is that Tom Scholz and the surviving members of Boston will pay tribute to the band's late singer at the Bank of America Pavilion Aug. 19. It'd be the first time in more than two decades that Scholz has shared the stage with fellow Boston members Barry Goudreau, Fran Sheehan, and John "Sib" Hashian. Others expected to pay tribute to Delp, who committed suicide in March, include Sully Erna and Godsmack, Cheap Trick singer Robin Zander, Extreme singer Gary Cherone, Ernie Boch's band Ernie & the Automatics, and Beatlejuice.

ARLINGTON -- The ovation that began Wednesday night's tribute concert to Brad Delp lasted several minutes and had a tangible heft to it. It was also pretty much the only time that sorrow was the primary emotion in the sold-out Regent Theatre .

ARLINGTON, Mass. --A group of singers will pay tribute in concerts to Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston who committed suicide in his New Hampshire home last month.

The following statements have been made in response to recent allegations made surrounding Brad's Delp's death:

TOM SCHOLZ (BOSTON leader, friend and collaborator for 35 years):

I am sick over this incredible loss, it is the worst of my life.

Brad and I were both overly sensitive. We both became vegetarians and opposed violence, and it's probably the reason we lasted so long together as friends. He was the passive one and I was the feisty one, we were a good team while he was alive. Now that he is gone, I'm trying to be a little more like him.

On Christmas Day, 2006, Brad Delp asked me to marry him. Our wedding was to be on August 18th, marking seven years together. We shared a special bond that will be with me all my life. Bradley lived a private life, and I had hoped that his death might also be private.
