Tommy DeCarlo, Boston's Lead Singer, Passes Away

0:00It's March 10th, and here's what's happening across the world right now. Tommy De Carlo, the lead singer for classic rock band Boston for nearly 20 years, has passed away at the age of 60. He had been battling brain cancer for months and died on Monday, according to his children. His story started back in 2007 when Boston's original frontman Brad Delp died. De Carlo, then a 43-year-old home depot worker in North Carolina, posted a tribute song on MySpace that caught the ear of guitarist Tom Shulls. Shulls loved how much De Carlo sounded like Delp and invited him to a tribute show, which led to him joining the band full time. De Carlo always said he just enjoyed singing along to Boston's tunes, not imitating anyone. His kids shared the news on Facebook and Instagram, praising how he fought the illness with real courage until the end. Fans have been remembering his voice that kept the band's spirit alive. De Carlo toured with Boston for almost two decades and lent his vocals to their 2013 album Life Love and Hope, helping carry forward.
