Singer Tommy Page dies at 46
Tommy Page, a singer who toured with New Kids on the Block and scored a #1 smash with "I'll Be Your Everything" in 1990, has died. He was 46.
According to a Facebook post by noted journalist Michael Musto — since removed — Page had been battling depression and passed away Friday. Billboard later wrote that Page had been found dead of an apparent suicide.
Page was born in New Jersey and worked checking coats at the club Nell's, which led to his demo being played at the starry hot spot. He was introduced to influential Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, who is credited with discovering the Ramones, the Talking Heads and Madonna, and was signed to the label.
NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg and Knight also helped produce the track.
Tommy later pursued a career as a music executive but continued to record nine studio albums and carried on touring.
While working for Warner Bros./Reprise Records the star helped shape the careers of artists including Michael Buble, Alanis Morissette, Josh Groban, David Foster and Green Day.
In 2011 he joined Billboard as associate publisher and promoted to publisher the following year.
'We are all morning the loss of our friend and colleague Tommy Page,' Billboard Entertainment Group President John Amato said in a statement.
'He was a magnetic soul and a true entertainer. Our thoughts are with his family.'
