Musician Tommy DeCarlo, the lead vocalist for the rock band Boston, who famously went from devoted fan to frontman after the death of singer Brad Delp, has died at age 60.
His family confirmed his passing on Facebook on Monday, March 9, stating the musician had been diagnosed with brain cancer last September.
