His family announced his death on social media this afternoon (March 9) after revealing that he had been battling brain cancer since last September.
“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. During this difficult time, we kindly ask that friends and fans respect our family’s privacy as we grieve and support one another.”
DeCarlo joined Boston, who were known for hits including ‘More Than A Feeling’ and ‘Amanda’, in 2007 after the group’s original lead singer, Brad Delp, died by suicide.
He went on to feature on the band’s sixth album, ‘Love, Life And Hope’, which was released in 2013 and toured with the band for nearly 20 years.
While the band have not shared an official statement regarding DeCarlo’s death, Boston’s website was updated with a picture commemorating him performing onstage, with his birth and death dates written beside the photo.
