Uma nota triste para o mundo do Rock n' Roll nesta sexta-feira. Uma notícia que eu não gostaria de dar, mas se faz necessária. Brad Delp, legendário vocalista da banda norte-americana Boston, faleceu em sua casa, em New Hampshire, E.U.A., por volta das 13:20 (horário local). As causas ainda são desconhecidas. Brad estava aparentemente sozinho em casa, quando ocorreu sua morte. Autor de sucessos inesquecíveis como "More Than a Feeling", "Don't Look Back", "Amanda", entre outros, vai fazer muita falta, num momento em que o estilo que ele ajudou a construir - o A.O.R. - está voltando à cena e é sem dúvida, uma perda irreparável. Seu último trabalho com o Boston foi "Corporate America" (2002). Há alguns dias, o rotten-orange postou um album do R.T.Z, projeto paralelo que Brad Delp mantinha com seu ex-companheiro de Boston, o guitarrista Barry Goudreau, fica aqui nosso tributo e nossa saudade. Os heróis morrem jovens, mas jamais desistem. Cabe a nós perpetuar o seu ideal, a bandeira do Rock n' Roll. Descanse em paz, Brad.
ATKINSON, N.H. - Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, was found dead Friday in his home in southern New Hampshire. He was 55. Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. and found Delp dead. Police Lt. William Baldwin said in a statement the death was "untimely" and that there was no indication of foul play.
Delp apparently was alone at the time of his death, Baldwin said.
The cause of his death remained under investigation by the Atkinson police and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday.
Delp sang vocals on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Longtime." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate America," released in 2002.
He joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an MIT student interested in experimental methods of recording music, according to the group's official Web site. The band enjoyed its greatest success and influence during its first decade.
The band's last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston's Symphony Hall.
