BOSTON - Original Lineup To Reunite For Brad Delp Tribute
June 18, 2007, 17 years ago
Brad Delp, who committed suicide earlier this year, gets a proper send-off August 19 at the Pavilion in Boston, MA, with a benefit show that'll feature an original-members reunion of BOSTON (drummer Sib Hashian, guitarist Barry Goudreau, bassist Fran Sheehan, guitarist/singer Fran Cosmo, and founding guitarist Tom Scholz), plus sets by GODSMACK, Delp's BEATLES tribute band BEATLEJUICE, and guest spots from CHEAP TRICK's Robin Zander and EXTREME's Gary Cherone. Tickets are $35 (plus fees) and go on sale June 21 at 10 am.
The families of Brad Delp along with Lynn Hoffman, VH1 Host, will 'Come Together' to share a special musical night that will honor and remember this extraordinary man and his beautiful music.
The Come Together concert is the result of both the Delp and the Goudreau families’ desire to honor Mr. Delp’s legacy as a musical icon and will benefit the newly formed nonprofit Brad Delp Foundation.
In addition, a film about Mr. Delp will be aired during the concert that was written and directed by Delp’s daughter Jennifer, a graduate of the prestigious USC film school. Never before seen footage of Mr. Delp will be shown that expresses not just the lead singer of the hugely successful band BOSTON; but of the man himself, and of those who loved him and called him their friend.
