Tommy DeCarlo, lead singer of the rock band Boston, has died at 60. His wife Annie and children, Talia and Tommy Jr., shared on Facebook that he passed on March 9, 2026, after a brave battle with brain cancer. They asked for privacy as they grieve.
Born April 23, 1965, DeCarlo worked outside music until 2007, when Boston’s original singer, Brad Delp, passed away. A devoted fan, he posted tribute covers online, catching the attention of Boston’s founder, Tom Scholz, who invited him to join the band.
DeCarlo debuted live with Boston in 2008 and became the lead vocalist, performing classics like “More Than a Feeling” and “Peace of Mind.” He toured extensively and appeared on the 2013 album Life, Love & Hope. Known for his powerful voice and heartfelt performances, he honored Boston’s classic sound while bringing his own energy, inspiring musicians worldwide.
