Brad Delp (June 12, 1951 – March 9, 2007)
"The nicest guy in rock 'n roll"
Brad Delp is mainly famous for being the singer of rock band Boston whose tremendous self-titled rock classic debut from 1976 is one of the best selling debuts ever with sales surpassing 17 millions. Brad's also known for his impressive range and for his kindness.
Anyways, Brad Delp was found dead in his bathroom a few years ago by his then girlfriend and fiancee. He was resting on the floor with his head on a pillow and a suicide note on his chest saying :
"Mr. Brad Delp. Je suis une âme solitaire"
The part in french means "I am a lonely soul". To kill himself, he had placed two smoking charcoal grills in there with him. He had also written a stack of suicide letters for different family and friends. I was genuinely saddened when I found out about his suicide .. Such a sad end for such a great guy and amazing performer. Boston rocks and Delp's definetly one of my favourite singers in rock!
