Fallen Voices, March and April 2007
The world has lost three great voices, in the last month.
9 March, Brad Delp, the original singer for Boston, died of an apparent heroine overdose, [carbon monoxide poisoning from burning charcoal in his garage] just months before a summer tour and a wedding with his long-time girlfriend. Many Americans probably didn’t know his name, but it would be hard to say you never heard his voice.
Tuesday, we lost Kurt Vonnegut, one of the 20th century’s great literary voices.
Wednesday, we lost Roscoe Lee Browne, known for his profound speaking voice, and broad acting experience -from Shakespeare to Soap to Babe. He was also prized for books on CD/tape, because of the tone and clarity of his voice.

it is very important to the family (and) friends, and fans of Brad Delp to mention that brad was not a drug user. he did not die of a heroine overdose, at least that is not what the coroners report reflects. he died of carbon monoide poisoning. As mentioned in several articles and press releases, brad apparently was a victim of long-term depression, which contributed to his very untimely death. there is a very big difference between that, and what you published. perhaps you know something that all of brads family and friends dont??
Brad Delp did NOT die of a heroin overdose. He was a lifelong vegeterian and did not use drugs. He committed suicide and the details were reported by the Associated Press and can be found easily by googling.
Thank you.
Brad Delp did not die from a heroine overdose, he died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Just like the rest of the media, you better check your facts a little closer.
