Arguably one of the best male voices in contemporary music and you need not be a Boston fan to appreciate the talent Brad possessed. It’s ironic too that I was talking Thursday with a friend of mine about our favorite male vocalist and the top two that came up were, Brad Delp and Paul Rogers. RIP Brad you will be missed.

I will miss him, and say a prayer. jet_powers Advanced Member Username: jet_powers Post Number: 317 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 10:26 am:    That's too bad. He has been going around New England with his Beatles tribute band Beatle Juice. I am almost certain they had gigs on the books for the not too distant future. I caught them a few years ago in a town hall near my home and they were tremendous. He will be missed.

I was priveledged to see him with Boston three times in '03-'04. That tremendous voice was still there. Apparently, he must have had a hell of a reason to take his own life at only 55 when he a had a loving family and fiancee to leave behind. Godspeed, Brad! You will be missed.

I am stunned to say the least. Rest ye well Brad, you will be missed forever, and remembered with every Boston song ever played. jet_powers Advanced Member Username: jet_powers Post Number: 318 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 10:05 am:    I too was stunned to learn it was suicide. Even more stunning was the method.
