WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Brad Delp, the lead singer of the 1970s and '80s rock band Boston was found dead at his home in southern New Hampshire on Friday, local police said.Delp, 55, apparently was home alone and there was no indication of foul play, Atkinson, New Hampshire, police said.

With Delp's big, high-register voice, Boston scored hits with "More Than a Feeling," "Long Time," and "Peace of Mind."

The band's popularity peaked in the late 1970s, but it remained active off and on, producing its last album "Corporate America" in 2002.

Delp was born in Boston, and bought his first guitar at age 13 after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, according to his website. Since 1994, he spent his spare time working in a tribute band called Beatle Juice, the band's website said.

The band's website carried a statement, "We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

 

RIP, i like Boston

 

Yeah, I used Boston for the music on this OLD S2000 Cruise video:

S2000 Cruise video

It was one of the first ones I did, and back then I didn't think to save the original files. This clip was re-rendered as a .wmv from a DVD version. Quality suffered because of this. Frankly, I think the video is pretty boring and I'd never shoot or edit it this way again, but it does give you a look at one of our early meets. This must be from 2000 or 2001 and I don't think I've shown it before.....
