STRYPER Frontman Confirmed For BRAD DELP Tribute Gig

June 19, 2007

On August 19, 2007, STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet will sing a few songs with BOSTON as part of a tribute to Brad Delp that is being planned by Brad's son and daughter. Although the list of acts and other details of the event have not yet been confirmed, it is BOSTON's understanding that the event will be held at the Pavilion on Boston Harbor, formerly Harbor Lights.

What follows is a statement from Michael Sweet regarding this special event: "Tom Scholz and his wife, Kim, asked me if I would like to sing with the band at the last BOSTON performance. From what I understand, they were approached by a number of singers (and thought about many as well). Tom called me personally to invite me to sing with the band at this final performance. Of course, I was incredibly humbled and honored to say the least!

"After much thought, they decided to have me sing a few songs. Mickey Thomas (JEFFERSON STARSHIP) will sing a few and Sammy Hagar will as well.

"It's been a real blessing to me during this time of hardship. Completely unexpected. Hopefully I'll do the songs justice.

"BOSTON is a huge influence and one of the first records that made me say 'Whoa, wait a minute, what is this?!' Brad Delp was one of the best vocalists in rock and a true original. It will be a joy to sing with the band."
