Following Tommy’s tragic diagnosis last September, a GoFundMe was established to help his family with the mounting medical bills. On the page, Tommy’s relatives offered further insight into his battle with the disease and the consequent struggles.

“In late September, Dad suffered a sudden brain bleed and underwent an emergency craniotomy,” the GoFundMe page reads.

“During surgery, doctors discovered two melanoma masses on his brain and another spot on his lungs.

“He amazed us by recovering from the surgery and beginning treatment, but before he could complete it, he had another brain bleed and was hospitalized from November 27th to December 27th.

“Since then he has completed acute inpatient therapy and is currently back on track with treatments from his oncology team.

“Our Dad is strong. He is a fighter. And he’s giving this battle everything he’s got — but he needs your help on this one.”

Tommy became the lead singer of Boston in 2007, taking over from the band’s original lead singer, Brad Delp, after he died by suicide.

Tommy, aged 42 at the time, was reportedly working at Home Depot when he received a call from band member Tom Scholz inviting him to tour with the band.

Boston, responsible for such memorable hits as More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, and Amanda, have been around for over 50 years.

Rest in peace, Tommy DeCarlo.
