After some two decades singing with classic-rock band Boston, Tommy DeCarlo has passed away at the age of 60.
Noting that the superstar vocalist been diagnosed with brain cancer in September of 2025, DeCarlo’s family confirmed his death via social media:

He fought with incredible strength and courage right up until the very end.” During this difficult time, we kindly ask that friends and fans respect our family’s privacy as we grieve and support one another. Rest in peace, Dad.”
Prior to joining the group in the late 2000s, Tommy was a longtime fan of the group, growing up listening to Boston, and crediting original singer Brad Delp with inspiring him to sing.
“When I first began to listen to Boston as a young teenager, I absolutely loved Brad’s voice.” “It wasn’t like I was trying to sing like Brad; it was just that I loved to sing along with him,” penned DeCarlo on the Boston website biography.
With their 1976 self-titled debut LP selling platinum on the strength of hits like ‘More Than a Feeling’ and ‘Peace of Mind,’ in the mid-70s, Boston was one of the biggest rock groups in the world.
Following Delp’s 2007 suicide, DeCarlo joined the band and spent the next twenty years touring with Boston. He leaves behind his wife, Annie, and his two adult children, Talia and Tommy Jr.
