Brad Delp

Brad Delp had one of the warmest, most soaring voices in American rock, and that's exactly why his story leaves me aching. As the original lead singer of Boston from 1975 onward, he stacked those luminous multi-tracked harmonies almost single-handedly, conjuring a choir out of one man. There's a cruel irony in how that bright, hopeful sound came from someone who took his own life in 2007. It's a reminder that the people who give us joy often carry private darkness we never hear. I can't listen to those records without thinking of the man behind the light, and I never will.
