No Singer? No Problem! Boston

Boston

Old Singer: Brad Delp
New Singer: Michael Sweet

Two words immediately came to mind when Boston announced that it would try to replace deceased lead singer Brad Delp with a refugee from the hair metal ghetto: "Jesus Christ!" That's not necessarily a slam, since the follicle farmer in question is Michael Sweet, frontman for Bible-belters Stryper – who might be the perfect person to persuade leader Tom Scholz that he's not God after all.

Maybe Michael Sweet can testify to Tom Sholz that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego became vegetarians during the Isrealites captivity in Babylon.

Brad passed away in March 2007, apparently of suicide. Michael Sweet is my all time favorite singer. Michael Sweet has done an amazing job with Boston, and has an amazing voice! Boston isnt the same without Brad, but having Michael is the next best thing!
