Maybe it's just me but I find it strange that there isn't already a topic on this.:( At any rate, Brad Delp, lead singer for Boston killed himself on the 9th. RIP

*lowers eyes*

That sucks.

Does anyone still listen to Boston? Great first album, but I'm not sure most NS'ers know anything about the band.

Anyway, sucks that Delp's dead.

Never heard of him, his death or his band until now.

Same here... maybe a US thing? :confused:

Well, now you know. Knowledge is power, the more you know! Sorry, I had to.:p

Nooooooooooooo


'It's more than a feeeeeeeling'

*sigh*

Ah, maybe a US thing but more likely an old people thing, they're a 60's-70's band. Then again, I'm 17 and I know who they are. o_O

Still...sad day I found this out. V_V

Well, gee whiz, the name of the band is BOSTON, so I wonder...

the source quoted here doesnt elaborate,but I heard on the radio that he created the carbon monoxide by bringing charcoal barbecue(s) into the house and lighting them.
Its certainly an odd way to do things.

O&A?

They could have been from Lincolnshire...

On the contrary, the source does elaborate. o_O

Delp, 55, was killed by carbon monoxide piped through a tube from a vehicle's exhaust pipe into a bathroom where he was found dead on March 9, said Lt. William Baldwin of the police in Atkinson, a southern New Hampshire town where Delp lived.

Nah, I don't know who he is either.

You may not know his name, but you all know songs by Boston, like this one:

The source isn't quite correct. Here's a more detailed write-up, updated last night (in the first days after his death police apparently hadn't released any suicide-related details to the press, because all the articles then were about how his death was so surprising because he was living so healthily etc.):

And from a more "serious" source, the AP: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/D/DELP_DEATH?SITE=MIDTN&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Well, that really sucks. :\ Wonder how this will affect things in the near future.

I didn't make a thread, but I posted about it in the "Musical Cravings" thread. Got a lot of grins, giggles, tears, and joy wrapped around tunes by Boston. : peace :
