BOSTON, MA March 22, 2017— Sib Hashian, a former member of the rock group Boston, has died at the age of 67 after collapsing onstage, the drummer's family said Thursday.
Hashian's wife, Suzanne, said the 67-year-old drummer collapsed Wednesday night while performing during the Legends of Rock Cruise. Medics on board administered CPR and attempted to resuscitate Hashian with a defibrillator, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
"It is with deep and profound sadness I share the news of my husband's, John 'Sib' Hashian, the drummer formerly of the band Boston, sudden death," said Suzanne Hashian, his wife of 38 years.
Hashian played on Boston's first two hit records, including their self-titled debut album in 1976 featuring the hit song "More Than a Feeling," and their second album, "Don't Look Back."
In addition to his work with Boston, Hashian played on bandmate Barry Goudreau’s 1980 self-titled record. He also sang backing ebony porn
vocals on Sammy Hagar’s 1979 “Sittin’ On (The Dock of the Bay)” cover.
Hashian, who called Lynnfield home, owned a record shop and a string of tanning salons in Boston.
Suzanne Hashian said arrangements will be announced at a later date.
