Tommy DeCarlo, a prominent vocalist for the band Boston for nearly 20 years, has passed away at the age of 60. His family confirmed his death on Monday, stating he had been diagnosed with brain cancer in September and fought the illness with remarkable strength. DeCarlo's musical career took a significant turn when he joined Boston in the late 2000s.
Initially a devoted fan and self-taught musician, DeCarlo became part of the band after sharing a tribute song to the late Brad Delp online. This demonstration of talent and passion impressed Boston's guitarist and bandleader Tom Scholz, leading to an invitation to join the group.
