Tommy DeCarlo (April 23, 1965 – March 9, 2026) was an American singer who was the lead vocalist for the rock band Boston from 2007 until his death in 2026.

DeCarlo discovered and became a fan of Boston at the age of 12. Years later, he began writing his own music and in the 1990s began recording covers of himself singing his favorite Boston songs.

In March 2007, original Boston lead singer Brad Delp died by suicide at the age of 55. To honor Delp, DeCarlo wrote and recorded an original song about his favorite vocalist as well as recorded a couple of Boston covers. His daughter suggested he post the songs on a MySpace page that she helped him set up. He then decided to send his MySpace page link to Boston management. Not long after, he was contacted by Boston founding member Tom Scholz. At the time, DeCarlo was working at a Charlotte, North Carolina-area Home Depot as a credit manager. From 2007 until his death in 2026, he was the lead vocalist (or co-lead vocalist) for every subsequent touring lineup of Boston.

In November 2021, DeCarlo recorded and released the audiobook, Unlikely Rockstar – The Tommy DeCarlo Story, in which he narrates his life events from birth through his first performance with the band Boston in 2007. The recording of the book occurred throughout 2020 and 2021.

DeCarlo was diagnosed with brain cancer in September 2025. DeCarlo later died from brain cancer on March 9, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the age of 60, 19 years to the day after his predecessor Brad Delp's death.

His voice was a great match to replace Brad Delp. It's wonderful that he could finally realize a career in music assuming that the band gave him a proper salary for performing. RIP
