Crap, this one really bothers me. I'll always have a soft spot for Boston. Those guys were smart, good musicians who made some of the best rock ever. Boston's debut album is easily one my top ten albums of all time.

Gonna be missed. I agree about the soft spot for Boston. I saw 2 of the final concerts they did in Worcester in 88'(there were 9 sold out shows). RIP Brad:(

Turns out he committed suicide. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning--set up two charcoal grills in a small bathroom. Such a nice guy though, he posted signs in a few places throughout the house warning anyone to beware of the carbon monoxide. It's seems so senseless, he could see the value of life enough to warn other people, but didn't want to go on living himself. He was set to married this summer and had just formed a band (for fun) that was going to go around and perform Beatles cover tunes.

One of his bandmates offered a little insight into the guy:
