I'm so bummed. I met this guy 10 years ago in a fairly tight setting. We became "friends" to this extent. We talked on the phone maybe 25 times in 10 years, did a few dinners out(maybe 5) and he was my resource for all the backstage passes I've gotten. So it wasn't a buddy - buddy thing but I guy I knew and who knew me none the less. He's going to be missed. A tour was coming this year and I was so pumped up. He told me in January - about a month before the release of the news of the tour. Aside from my school buddy this was the only other musician I've had a bunch of chances to talk with. Major bummer 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. On Friday night, the Web site was taken down and replaced with the statement: "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll." bandboston.com A call to the Swampscott, Mass., home of Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau was not immediately returned Friday night
