Tommy DeCarlo, the frontman of rock band Boston, has died aged 60.
The vocalist known for hit songs like “More Than a Feeling” and “Amanda” was diagnosed with brain cancer in September, his family said in a Facebook post announcing his death Monday.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our Dad, Tommy DeCarlo, on Monday, March 9th, 2026,” said the statement shared by DeCarlo’s wife, Annie, and their two children, Talia and Tommy Jr.
“After being diagnosed with brain cancer last September, he fought with incredible strength and courage right up until the very end,” the family said. “During this difficult time, we kindly ask that friends and fans respect our family’s privacy as we grieve and support one another.”
DeCarlo’s family launched a GoFundMe page in September to pay for the rockstar’s medical bills after he “suffered a sudden brain bleed and underwent an emergency craniotomy,” the fundraiser said.

“During surgery, doctors discovered two melanoma masses on his brain and another spot on his lungs,” the family explained. “He amazed us by recovering from the surgery and beginning treatment, but before he could complete it, he had another brain bleed and was hospitalized from November 27th to December 27th. Since then he has completed acute inpatient therapy and is currently back on track with treatments from his oncology team.”
The statement continued, “We’ve created a GoFundMe to help support his needs and the challenges ahead. He is deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support he’s already received from friends, family, and fans all over the world. It has lifted him up during the hardest moments and reminded him he’s not fighting alone.”
At the time of writing, the fundraiser had received more than $56,000 of its $50,000 goal.
