Boston lead singer dies

Brad Delp was 55

The lead singer of American arena rock band Boston was found dead in his home today (March 9) in southern New Hampshire.

Brad Delp was 55, and was reportedly alone at the time of his death, according to Atkinson, New Hampshire police.

The cause of his death has not yet been determined and is currently under investigation, reports the Associated Press.

Boston achieved great success during the 1970s and 1980s with radio hits including 'More Than A Feeling', 'Peace of Mind', and 'Don't Look Back'.

The band recorded their last album, 'Corporate America', in 2002, with Delp at the helm. They made their last live appearance late last year at Boston's Symphony Hall.
