KIMBERLEY DAHME (BOSTON bassist and singer):

We are all trying to cope with losing our dear friend and family member. The depth of our grief is limitless, and now is compounded by the allegations that have been made that Tom Scholz is at fault for Brad's actions. What I'm hearing in the press is absolutely not true. I am mortified and terribly hurt that someone would print such lies and try to destroy and blame someone for this horrible tragedy.

I have been working with Brad for 6 years, and he has always been the kind and gentle man that everyone talks about. As a newer member of the group, I always felt like Boston was as much Brad’s band as it was Tom’s and that Brad had a full say in the musical decisions as he wished. We were more than fellow musicians in a band. As we passed the hours traveling from one show to another, he never missed an opportunity to ask to see new photos of my young children and to hear stories about how they were doing.

He was very happy performing with BOSTON, fueled by the energy and loyalty of his many fans who often brought photos and album covers that he had autographed for them nearly 30 years ago. Being the humble man he was, Brad wasn’t affected by this adoration and I know the quality of his performances with our band filled him with pride.

Brad spoke to the band as well as the press about looking forward to touring this summer. He showed no signs of sadness during any of our rehearsals. I mean no signs at all.

I believe that there was something much deeper troubling him. I think that it was quite clear in Brad's final words that he 'took complete and sole responsibility' for his situation. Please, let's honor Brad and his memory, and wish him, his dear Pamela and children, family, friends, fans, and the rest of the world some much needed peace.
