ATKINSON, N.H., March 9 (UPI) -- The man who introduced the world to the sound of Boston was found dead Friday in his New Hampshire home by police responding to an emergency call for help.
Brad Delp, 55, apparently was alone in his house when he died, Atkinson, N.H., police said, adding that foul play was not suspected, E! News reported.
The cause of Delp's death was being investigated.
Boston, which included Delp, producer-songwriter-guitarist Tom Scholz, drummer Sib Hashian, guitarist Barry Goudreau and bassist Fran Sheehan, struck platinum many times over in 1976 with their self-titled debut, which featured the signature tunes "More Than a Feeling" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight."
"Boston," which sold more than 17 million copies, remains the No. 1 selling debut album in U.S. history.
A reunion tour reportedly was being discussed.
In later years and up until his death, Delp sang for BeatleJuice, a Beatles tribute band.
The group's Web site said, simply, "Brad Delp -- June 12, 1951 to March 9, 2007. The nicest, kindest, most caring, down to earth rock star the world has ever known."
