MySpace Community Connects Fan to Band

In a recent news story at CNet, they tell the story of how Boston found their new lead singer.

Tommy DeCarlo had always listened to the band Boston, so when their original lead singer committed suicide last year, he posted songs he’d sung on MySpace as a tribute. After encouragement from friends, he sent his MySpace page to the Boston camp, and was contacted and told that Boston had no intention to replace their lead singer.

Tom Schultz’s (the founder or the band) wife was listening to Tommy on MySpace, he reconsidered because he believed it to be Brad Delp, the deceased lead singer. He then contacted Tommy, and Boston, in addition to their new lead singer, will start their summer tour this month in Ontario.
