Mr. Brad Delp sadly took his own life at his home. He was 55 years of age. I honestly wish I was there trying desperately to talk him out of it. This man&#8217;s vocals really helped me turn into a guitar player who was trying find a direction to go towards. He will truly be missed by millions of people. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gonnahitcharide.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ext-link\">Boston Fan site<\/a> is just full of memorials that really hit home. <\/p>\n<p>These guys summed up to me what it is to be the average guy&#8217;s stadium-rockers. I had hoped to have seen the rock legions this summer when they went on tour, for the first time in a long time. Wow, what a blast we would of had. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Just let your imagination run totally wild for a second. Imagine playing this tune with the band live while being the first guitar player! I do this every time I&#8217;m driving alone on the highway. When this tune comes up, I wish I had # 11 on our volume control in the car!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/MdT0yZTPq5g\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/MdT0yZTPq5g\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Mr. Brad Delp, I hope that you have found your peace.
