Boston Lead Singer Tommy DeCarlo Dies at 60

Family confirmed the death following treatment for a brain tumor first diagnosed in September 2025.

Overview

  • His children announced on Facebook that he died on March 9, 2026, and asked fans to respect the family’s privacy.
  • After a sudden brain bleed in September 2025, surgeons found malignant tumors, with a second bleed reported in November and further treatment documented through the family’s updates.
  • Discovered through MySpace covers in 2007, he was invited by founder Tom Scholz to perform and went on to front Boston on tour for nearly two decades.
  • Scholz honored him as a first-rate live performer and devoted father in media tributes, and the band posted a memorial on its website.
  • He also performed with his son in the group Decarlo, which released albums in 2020 and 2022, and the band noted the coincidence that March 9 is also the date former singer Brad Delp died in 2007.
