Throughout his time with Boston, he lent his powerful voice to hits like "More Than a Feeling" and contributed to their last studio album, "Life, Love & Hope."
Tom Scholz, Boston's founder, praised DeCarlo's role in revitalizing the band and keeping its legacy alive in the years following Delp's passing.
The music community mourns the loss of DeCarlo, whose journey from fan to rock star inspired many and left a lasting impact on fans and fellow artists alike.
