One year to the day that Brad Delp was found dead in his Atkinson home, a neighboring community will celebrate his life with the release of a documentary about him.
Remembering Brad Delp ... With A Little Help From His Friends is a one-hour film that includes highlights from Delp's performances in Salem and recent interviews with his former bandmates, fiancee and friends.
Delp, the lead singer for the 1970s band BOSTON and later for the tribute band Beatle Juice, was 55 when he committed suicide. Police said Delp locked himself in the bathroom of his Atkinson home, lit two charcoal grills and died from carbon monoxide poisoning, leaving notes behind for his friends.
John Kelly, music teacher at Woodbury Middle School, and Salem School District's media director Robert Berthel co-produced the documentary.
Kelly has taught in the school district for 27 years. He said Delp was one of the people who continuously gave back to Salem schools.
"Brad was just so good to the Salem School District, as he was so good to all of the charitable organizations he worked in," he said.
