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. DeCarlo also contributed vocals to Boston's 2013 album, 'Life, Love & Hope.'
Beyond his work with Boston, DeCarlo collaborated with his son, Tommy DeCarlo Jr., in a band that released two albums in 2020 and 2022. He often expressed profound joy in performing his favorite band's music live, describing the experience as almost indescribable and a shared moment with fans.
