Brad Delp's Suicide Sparks Up Old Grudges

The suicide of Brad Delp, lead singer for the 70's rock band Boston, has reignited the problems between old and new band members.

Tom Scholz wasn't informed about or invited to Delp's funeral even though he is the chief songwriter and founder. Early band members who remain close to Delp's ex-wife Micki did attend the memorial service for Delp.

Last week, Micki Delp was quoted as saying Delp was distressed about the conflicts in his professional life and became despondent after a long-time friend was cut from the band's summer concert lineup.

Scholz said that he feels he's being unfairly blamed for his friend's suicide. His lawyer sent Micki Delp a letter Friday demanding a retraction. But Scholz said he still hopes the rift can be mended so the band can be part of a public memorial service.

Delp's fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, said no one intentionally excluded the current band members from the funeral. The family simply wanted to get the children through it as quickly as possible.
