NEW YORK - Singer who was best known for his 1990 hit single 'I'll Be Your Everything' was found dead on Friday, March 3 in 46 of an apparent suicide.
Tommy Page was most closely associated with New Kids on the Block. The boy band's members Jordan Knight and Danny Wood cowrote 'I'll Be Your Everything' with Page, earning the singer-songwriter the first and only Billboard No. 1 single of his career. He was famously NKOTB's opening act on their summer 1989 tour.
Later in his career, Page worked as an A&R executive and vice president of top 40 promotion at Warner Bros./Reprise Records, helping to shape the careers of artists including Michael Bublé, Josh Groban and Alanis Morissette. He left the record label in 2011 to work as a publisher at Billboard. In recent years, Page worked at Pandora and Cumulus Media as he continued to record and perform music.
"We are all mourning the loss of our friend and colleague Tommy Page," Billboard Entertainment Group president, John Amato said on Saturday, March 4.
"He was a magnetic soul and a true entertainer. Our thoughts are with his family," he added.
Several members of NKOTB took to social media to pay their condolences to Page, who is survived by his husband, Charlie, and their three children.
"In your darkness I pray you now find light! Your bright soul will continue to shine in my heart forever. #RIPTommyPage," Jonathan Knight wrote on Twitter.
Donnie Wahlberg tweeted the same hashtag, while Wood posted the "I'll Be Your Everything" must video.
Page began his career in the music industry at Sire Records after meeting its founder, Seymour Stein, who helped launched the careers of the Ramones and Madonna. His performing career started after writing the theme for the 1989 comedy “Shag,” and using the title track to launch his debut, self-titled album.
But commercial success did not arrive until his follow-up, 'Paintings in My Mind' which featured 'I’ll Be Your Everything'. The song, written with and featuring New Kids on the Block, would go on to reach No. 1 on the music charts.
In 1992, Page made an appearance as himself on an episode of 'Full House' titled 'Crushed' in which he sang to Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) on her tenth birthday.
After releasing several more studio albums, Page became an executive at Warner Bros. Records, and later the publisher of Billboard. After a two-year stint, he served as an exec for Pandora.
