ATKINSON, N.H. - Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, was found dead Friday in his home in southern New Hampshire. He was 55. Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. and found Delp dead. Police Lt. William Baldwin said in a statement the death was "untimely" and that there was no indication of foul play.

Delp apparently was alone at the time of his death, Baldwin said.

The cause of his death remained under investigation by the Atkinson police and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday.

Delp sang vocals on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Longtime." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate America," released in 2002.

He joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an MIT student interested in experimental methods of recording music, according to the group's official Web site. The band enjoyed its greatest success and influence during its first decade.

The band's last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston's Symphony Hall.

On Friday night, the Web site was taken down and replaced with the statement: "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

A call to the Swampscott, Mass., home of Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau was not immediately returned Friday night.

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

Aside from being a bad-ass song, it has a very sentimental meaning to me. Reminds me of a close cousin I lost.

Sad! RIP

I know it may be not the right moment to say it but I know that policeman

Wow. So sad. He had a great voice. Some of my favorite songs were "More Than A Feeling", "Peace Of Mind", "We're Ready", etc.

R.I.P. Brad.

Awww...

I'm almost 55 years old....that's kinda scary....

RIP, Brad....

I'm not a huge classic rock fan but this was one of the first songs I ever loved.

Its been such a long time
I think I should be goin, yeah
And time doesnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin
Sail on, on a distant highway
Ive got to keep on chasin a dream
Ive gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.

Well Im takin my time, Im just movin on
Youll forget about me after Ive been gone
And I take what I find, I dont want no more
Its just outside of your front door.

Its been such a long time. its been such a long time.

Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I cant forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
Im tryin to forget your name and leave it all behind me
Youre comin back to find me.

Well Im takin my time, Im just movin on
Youll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I dont want no more
Its just outside of your front door.

Its been such a long time. Its been such a long time.

Yeah. Its been such a long time, I think I should be goin, yeah
And time dosnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin
Theres a long road, Ive gotta stay in time with
Ive got to keep on chasin that dream, though I may never find it
Im always just behind it.

Well Im takin my time, Im just movin along
Takin my time, just movin along
Takin my time, takin my time...

One of the best voices in rock.

He was a great guy to all his fans. His cover band "Beatlejuice" was the real deal. At least he left a lasting legacy in music. That will never go away.
