It's just not fair. Why do the best leave us so young? Boston made the 70's for me, and will remain my favourites for ever. My mate Bobo and me travelled to Bingley Hall Stafford in the late 70's to witness my third,(and by far the greatest ever), gig. seen some of the greats since then, but Brad and Boston will stay in my memories for ever.
Read the news today in Classic Rock magazine and went home immediately to listen to my favourite tracks. You'll be sadly missed by many fans in the UK. My heart felt sympathy goes to his family and friends. Tom, try to ignore the bull shi**ters who'll always try to blame someone. Shit happens, but it happens for a reason. One day we'll all be reunited somewhere.
Bless you Brad!

I'll always be a believer that you recieve the love you give. And the lyrics of Brad and Boston are more than words on paper, they're a way of life. And I will alway live as he sang, from the heart. Thanks Brad, your message carries with me for the rest of my life.

I remember the first time I heard "Don't Look Back" on the radio. I was no older than 6 or 7 and was riding in the car with my mom. I didn't know it then, but Boston and Brad Delp would become my favorite band and favorite vocalist of all time. When "Third Stage" came out in the mid-80's that sealed the deal. I was fortunate enough to see Boston live in Pittsburgh at the Star Lite Ampitheatre in 1997 and 2004 and they were amazing performances!!! Boston will always be my favorite band of all time, and of course, Brad Delp will always be there for me when I need him. As their first album liner stated "just listen to the album..." That's all you have to do. Brad will be missed, that is for sure, but he will always live on forever in the music that he created, and one day not so long from now, we will all be together again. Rest in Peace Brad, and to the family of Brad Delp, you will be in all of our prayers.

I only in the past year have started to appreciate the music of Boston, I never heard a voice quite like Brad's and may never again. My heart goes ot to his family and friend's who are trying to figure it all out. To lose anyone through death is hard Suicide is Horror!! Please know that there is no rhymn or reason to suicide. There is no one or one thing to blame, it comes from deep within one's self a lack of something a deep sadness/loss from within. I am sure Brad knew he was loved but it was something within him that we will never understand.

chapter 2
about 2 weeks ago i heard the news that Brad had passed away i assumed it was some tragic accident only today finding out that it was in fact more tragic then that nobody know's what Brad was feeling at the time he died i can only think that he must have been it such pain that he felt he could not go on having gone thru pain like this myself you wonder how you make it thru each day and eventually if you don't seek help you give up and give in to the torment Brad, Tom and all the Members Past and present of Boston we as fans Love You I Hope that Boston Will Continue to make music in Brads Memory right now i am listening to Brad singing A Man Ill Never Be its like Brad is speaking to us even now
to Brads Children and fiancee Brad will be missed but time will heal you wont ever forget him but remember the joy he was to be around the love he gave each of you for that Love will last a lifetime God Bless all of you best wishes
all my Love and Prayers Brian J Remington

I remember in 1976 i was in the 5th grade in Southern California when i first listened to ForePlay/Long Time the power in Brad's Voice the musical composition of Tom Shultz truly a perfect match for what would become my favorite band I remember thinking how even the Eagles could compare to the musical excellence provided by this dynamic duo over the years Boston one of only 3 bands to get better with time the others being The Scorpions and Van Halen however Boston's music has a lure to it that even the afer mentioned bands can not compare Boston's even thru all the legal battles with the labels continued to produce great music decade after decade see second chapter

Those who never immersed themselves in Boston's music will never know what the world has lost in losing Brad.
For years i have listened to Boston's music and no other vocalist comes close to the spine tingling, emotion evoking, soaring power of Brad's voice.
I must have listened to "More than a feeling" thousands of times but when he hits the high notes in the final chorus it never fails to make all the hairs stand up on my neck and make me either laugh or shed a tear.
Nobody else has ever made this happen to me.
Thanks Brad, my only regret is that i never managed to thank you while you were alive.
My thoughts go out to the rest of the Band and Brad's family.

I keep rotating the first three albums of Boston in my car c.d. player. Every song, beautiful perfection! This has been my routine since I became a fan back in 1984. For the last couple of weeks, my listening was accompanied by tears but now the sound is lifting me again. I am so grateful for the magic that Tom & Brad created together.
Brad, I really wanted to meet you in this lifetime but I'm gonna have to catch you on the flipside. I pray you found your peace. Divine healing to all.

I sent a sizable comment to digg.com.oncerning the contibutions of Brad and Boston personally and musically.

It's the largest statement on the page and begins w/ apologies for that.

Suffice to say that I hope Tom Schulz doesn't dwell on the aspect of human nature that insists on making a scandal of a sorrowful event. Those who matter know he loved Brad. In every aspect of life there are conflicts, particularly concerning projects we are passionate about but that sometimes increases a bond between people if their friendship survives it. It is obvious to me that theirs had considering they still tour (which is hugely testing in itself).

A simple thank you to Boston for allowing Brad to be the voice of which such wonderful messages were delivered to me when I needed them most.
I heed these words now more than ever.

I guess my husband and I have been living with our heads in the sand - we just heard about Brad's passing last night. My brother introduced me to Boston's music - I must have been 12. I would sneak into his bedroom to get his Boston album and then sneak it back after I had a chance to listen to it a few times. I did finally buy my own. My husband and I saw Boston in Dallas a few years ago. That concert was by far one of the best either of us ever remembered experiencing and we were both looking forward to them touring again somewhere near by.

As many other folks have expressed, every one of the songs from that first album will begin to play and instantly transport me back to the 1970s. A part of each of us has passed with Brad. I hope wherever he is, he has found the peace that eluded him in life.

Hi there Again, Gerry from Ireland again, And his two cats, No one is to blame for Brads Death. The Media are hyping again putting the pressure on certain people, but as we all know the media are full of lies,anything to sell a story. I feel so sorry for Brads Partner and Tom, And i will light a candle for them both also. As they are feeling pain as well. God only knows any of us could feel down tomorrow and end up doing something foolish ODs etc, I went through it and nearly lost my life because i was down, and a gay guy, but when i heard Bostons music it always gave me strenght to go on. None of us really knows what is around the corner for us all. So to Brads partner and Tom I love you and wish you both well, and dont worry Brad will always be with you both. Lots of Love Gerry and Dylan, Emily the cats and Mrs Tyson my dog.
Lots of love Brad and everyone in the USA

I remember as a 15 year old boy enduring the 'long hot summer' of 1976 in the UK. Baking in our London home. My brother and I were ardent fans of all rock bands, as long as they were British, until we bought the Boston album (from a shop !!!!), and heard that amazing production and power, and Brad's soaring voice. It is an absolutely perfect work of art. And although we wore that record out, now in our forties, we still like to have a few drinks, put it on, turn it up, and listen to 'Long Time'. Most bands will never produce anything like that masterpiece in a lifetime of toil. Well done Brad.

One of thy greatest Rock And Roll singers of all time. I never met the man, but I feel like I just losed a close friend.

They say there are signs, the problem is you don't realize there were signs until it's to late. I losed a cousin the same way.

To Brad's family and friends, my heart breaks fo you.

I'd like, no NEED, to share something that happened last year. My friend and lover of over 30 years hung himself in August 2006. This time we couldn't love him back to life. On the way back from visiting his grave for the first time, "Gonna Hitch a Ride" came on the radio and something deep inside told me to REALLY REALLY listen to the lyrics this time.

Waves of emotions rushed over me as I heard these words and I knew that Brad's voice and Tom's lyrics were what I needed to hear.

"Gonna sail away/sun lights another day/freedom from my mind/carry me away for the last time."

When I heard that Brad had also taken his life, I was so sad and no one around me seemed to understand who the world had lost. Then I found this web site! God bless all of you for grieving together and God bless Brad's lovely girlfriend, family and friends for sharing their grief with us.

Without Tom Scholz, there would be no Boston. Without Brad Delp, there would be no Boston. I read where Tom said his songs were just guitar licks until Brad brought them to life. I am so glad these 2 rare talents met and brought this magic to us, the fans. It is not Tom's or anyone elses fault for the choice Brad made. Thank you Tom, Brad and all members of Boston past and present for many years of pleasure in listening to your music. Please Tom, try to find a way to continue making the magic! Thanks, Kelly

I had been listening to Boston from day 1 and then I got a chance to see a concert in Denver, in 1987 or 1988. It was soooo moving with Brad's voice. I have never tired of the music and still have my origina LP. The last concert I was able to attend was when the band played at Red Rocks amplitheatre. I was in the fourth row. I still remember how the words seemed to speak to me. I will be forever grateful for the music and for the chance to attend.

My thoughts and prayers go to ALL of the band and to his fiancee and children. He will be greatly missed but, he will always be in my heart and mind.

I've been to every concert locally and will continue to go as long as Boston tours. Brad, you will truly be missed. My thoughts are with Brad's family, friends and band mates.

Suicide is the worst thing a person can do to family and friends and it just leaves behind guilt and emptiness to the survivors, but some people just get to that level of dispair where they'll be fine one minute and feel completely utterly hopeless the next. Tom, I read your website and you and your friends have to realize that you did NOT cause this. As far as those who think they can point their fingers, they don't know what it is like. The guilt is in the "I should haves" but there was nothing you could have done. Perhaps this has been going on for years with Brad and unfortunately would have probably happened at some point. I had a friend who was like this through high school and finally took his life in his early 30's. My friend and (I'm sure) Brad knew they were loved but there was something they just couldn't deal with and it was too deep inside for anyone to see. Do not blame yourself. You are a good person. Godspeed to you and your families and friends.

Perhaps a strange thing for only me, but my husband bought me the remastered debut Boston CD for my birthday,and gave it to me the night before Brad left this world. He got it off back order, which tells you how popular they still are. I listened to it about 3-4 times that night, signing loud, smiling the whole while, but not nearly as well as Brad could--doesn't it just make you want to sing, though? The next day, the news...OMG. I was just stunned. I JUST got that CD, having wanted it for quite a long time, but always forgetting when I was out shopping. I take comfort in having it now, and feel like it's this special piece of history. Over the years, I have always gotten a lift from your music and incredible voice. Now, I'm just thankful you left us with these gifts. Blessings to your family and hope you have peace finally.

It is quite obvious that Brad suffered from some type of clinical depression that killss thousands of people a year.
We can only speculate what was really going on in Brad's mind. We will truly never know the true motive behind his decisions that seemed to have been planned out. Much love to everyone suffring in mourning for such a wonderful human being.

I am deeply touched by the manner in which fellow fans of this great band and its talented members have so eloquently expressed their thoughts, feelings, and grief at the loss of such a gifted person. It puzzles me that a person's departure from our lives, whether we actually knew them or just knew of them, can create in each of us such a void in our hearts and minds that only that person could fill. I am aware that people educated in areas of psychology and counseling would suggest I ought not to be puzzled about the affects of someone's death. Despite such advice, I choose today to grieve and be saddened by Brad's departure. I choose today to be human in my response to such a loss as only I can be. I choose today to let all of the steps, procedures, and tips associated with clinically correct behavior associated with the passing of a loved one sit on the shelf for use later.

Since my dad passed away a couple of years ago, I came to the realization during the days and weeks following that only I can grieve for him in my own personal way. There isn't a guide, a book, or even a caring friend that could walk the path I was walking when my he passed. Yes my friends could identify, empathize, and console, yet only I could experience and express the thoughts and words I sensed deep in the core of my being. With this in mind, I share an experience that others may have shared although I have not yet encountered anyone who has. The hours and days immediately following the loss of my dad passed quickly. There was much to do that was directly related to this occasion. Phone calls to friends and loved ones, arrangements in a timely manner with directors and all that goes with planning a funeral, and some quiet time to grieve and recuperate. Of the three, the "business" of getting through the few days did not allow for quiet time. So much to do and so little time!

For weeks after the funeral, friends and family would comment about how "nice" everything was. Yet, someone always mentioned that certain things were overlooked: placement of flowers, a card basket, pen and guestbook, etc. Someone even mentioned that thank you cards were never received by those who sent flowers and food items to us during our time of loss. For all the oversights during those few days I apologize sincerely because my intent or the intent of my family was not to forget things while we grieved. I offer my deepest condolences to all of Brad's family, all of his friends, and all of his fans. May the thoughts and memories that Brad left with us and those that are in the making during the days and weeks ahead be those that bring smiles and a heartfelt warmth that only the memory of his presence with us can create.

What does it take To Be a Man..... that song now brings tears to my eyes. I wish I would have gone to Beatlesfest in Boston a couple of years ago.... I would've loved to have met him.

Why? Why? Why was he depressed? My guess it we'll never know. That'll be a sadness that I'll nevr be able to shake.

Take it from someone who lived near the man, got a chance to know the man and also got a chance to work with the man. Brad was a kind soul who always seemed to have a look in his eyes of lost innocence. Not his own but maybe others around him. He was always soft spoken, never a bad words towards or about anyone. Whatever happened with the original members of Boston happened....whatever. The reasoning behind The Cosmos being dumped from the tour was due to the fact that the 2 of them were performing as Boston. How would YOU feel if you were Brad or Tom and someone was living off of what YOU created? You'd feel cheated. I think everyone should take a step back and remember the man for the tremendous gift he left to all of us.....his voice and music. Seriously, people in their 50's acting no more mature than high school vagrants. It's sad.

I can only feel, somehow, this will turn for good in unseen ways. Brads life and legacy has and continues to be praised, even if for humility, which is so fruitful.
This life is but a vapor, and it does matter whats left behind. I'm filled with his life of goodness and only wonder at his end. That, thank God, is up to Him above, and I trust In Him to have a place for a man that touched life as he did.
I pray we all meet him again on a wonderful eternal day. A musical one.

The song "Long Time," says "...you'll forget about me after I've been gone..." Brad Delp will never be forgotten. I was 10 the first time I heard Boston. I used my birthday money to buy their debut album (the first music purchase of my life). My son's first live concert was Boston's "Corporate America" stop in Houston, TX. Brad's voice touched many people, many generations. He will be missed very much. For the surviving band members & for Brad's fiance', please remember that anger is a stage of grief. Accusations being made are just angry words directed at the most obvious target. Sometimes, we truly can't help the ones we love. Sometimes our loved ones don't want to burden us with their internal struggles, so we continue on - oblivious to their pain. Brad - may you rock on with the others who have gone before you to Rock n Roll Heaven. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Our lives are forever changed for having been blessed by your music.

Regardless of the fact that myself along with so many thousands loved Brad's singing and thought that he seemed like a great guy, he thought of himself and his talent as being basically worthless. This was evident in some interviews I saw where he downplays his contribution to Boston. The bottom line is what we think of ourself and our self-worth. Anyway I think we should shoot for unconditional love for ourself and others and unconditional happiness in life as best we can. RIP Brad

There are no words to describe the feelings we all feel for the loss of one of the very few great voices of our time in Rock n Roll.But if there is one good thing(no, 2 good things) that come out of Brad's death, I hope it would be that the fans recognize that we need to show the love to Tom and to let him know we are behind him now. We love you all and we dont blame you for what happened to Brad and from what Brad has said, he held noone accountable but himself. The other thing I hope happens is that the band will somehow see through this tragedy and carry on with a new album and tour. Please, dont let Brad's death be in vain. He would have wanted you guys to carry on and give the gift of music to the masses. We love you Boston, old and new and we support you with all of our hearts. I personally want to give a shout out to Tom Scholz and the band and to the family of Brad with much love. Please keep the music alive.Its always been More Than A Feeling!!!!! Les In Cleveland

Mr. Tom Scholz,
Obviously, pain and the "what-if's" will abound in your mind and spirit for some time to come, I think that is inevitable. However, as much I respect Brad- I for one certainly don't blame you for his death. The media has allowed Brad's death barely a blip on the news radar. They do, however, love to exploit and sensationalize negative things without reporting any of the good that Brad Delp and Boston did over the last 30 years? Tom, I don't believe for one minute that you were the type of person to contribute to Brad's despondency. I have heard you are a perfectionist, but so what? You want things done right, what's so bad about that as long as you are kind in expressing your desires?. I think some in this situation should just swallow a few things they may want to say. The last word isn't always so important to be had. We never know what tomorrow may hold so let none of us be able to say that our last words to a departed loved one were in anger.

As the song says, "More Than A Feeling". So was/is it that the music and artistry this man created as part of Boston touched and inspired my life. As a musician I was inspired to no end, as a fellow human being, I was touched by the moral values and respect for all life Brad Delp and the band put before us. It is More Than A Feeling.... it's a way of life. He Rocked with Compassion and Soul.

I'm not one to post much of anything on the internet,but i feel like i've got to write something about the voice of my altime favorite bands. The first time I heard "More than a feeling" the guitars were great but that voice was something that raised the hair on my arms. I've had the chance to see Boston only twice. Once at the Texas Jam in Dallas in 85 and in Austin in 04. In both concerts Brad was in fine form. When I heard about Brads death I was devestated. When I heard later how he died I was saddened. Gosh what a waste. Brad we are all sorry for your obvious pain and loneliness. Wished things were different. Your going to be painfully missed. Love ya man!

This just gets sadder and sadder. To read that there is still squabbling going on even after his senseless death. Is this what he would have wanted? Of course not! To Pamela, Tom, Micki, Barry, Sib, both Frans, his children, and all the rest of his friends and loved ones: You all must be very special people to have been loved by this man. He obviously saw something good and beautiful in all of you. Take comfort in this. Take this common bond you share, the love of a good man, and use it to bring him the peace in his death he couldn't find in life. It's what he would have wanted and deserved.

God bless you, Brad. You were one of a kind, and raised the spirits of and brought joy to many with your beautiful voice. I take comfort in knowing you're in a better place now.

With love from one of your many fans,
Katie

Your music was my youth. Every lyric and note was background to young love and young foolishness. All things pass. Some too soon. Peace.

Many folks my age still remember where they were the first time they heard "More Than A Feeling". At that time (1976) you'd really never heard anything like it. Immensely well thought out arrangements, catchy melodies, and that one of a kind guitar sound.

Amongst all these things was this incredible voice. Full and passionate, with a range that would make most female singers blush. The vocal arrangements were so dense, and yet so articulate. Brad Delp made you feel as though you were the only one he was singing to.

The first BOSTON album (remember albums?) remains a favorite of mine, and while susequent releases lacked the quality of the first, Brad Delp's vocals remained powerful, rich, and passionate, and I consider him to be one of the best ever.

Rest In Peace, Brad. And thanks for the feeling. I hope you found Peace Of Mind.

Sitting in a restaurant in Vegas, I was floored of the news that my mom's cousin (my second cousin) had passed.
I didn't get many opportunities to meet with Brad but the times I did I will always remember. Just one of the greatest people I have ever met and he is truely missed. After speaking with my mother about it, she shared with me some of her memories about Brad when the were children and how he never lost his head even after becoming a rockstar.
I remember when I was 13, one of my good friends was going in to have a heart transplant (back in '86) Brad sent up one of his Gold Records for him - that was just the type of person he was. Not only did he have one of the greatest voices he had one of the greatest hearts. May we never forget that.....
My condolences to those who were very close to him, god bless.....
