Overview
- DeCarlo’s family confirmed he died on March 9 and asked for privacy as they grieve.
- In late September 2025 he suffered a sudden brain bleed that led to an emergency craniotomy, where doctors found two melanoma masses in his brain and a spot on his lungs.
- He later experienced a second brain bleed and was hospitalized from November 27 to December 27 before continuing oncology care.
- Discovered through his online tributes, he joined Boston following Brad Delp’s 2007 death, toured for nearly two decades, and appeared on the 2013 album Life, Love & Hope.
- A family GoFundMe has raised over $56,000, a March 29 benefit near Cornelius, North Carolina remains scheduled, and Boston’s website features a commemorative photo though no formal band statement had been issued.
