The Inside Scoop on the Band Boston

The band Boston and its fans will always remember drummer Sib Hashian who sadly passed away a few weeks ago, performing on the ‘Legends of Rock’ cruise on the high seas. How did Sib get to the show with Boston? Here’s the inside scoop…

Boston was in the recording studio in 1975, set to record their self-entitled LP. The bands label Epic demanded they replace original drummer Jim Masdea, and Tom Scholz was furious with having to replace his friend, but had no choice. Ironically, Masdea would replace Sib a few albums later.

Here’s a Hollywood twist; actor Duane Johnson’s (The Rock) long-time girlfriend is Lauren Hashian, the late Sib’s daughter. In touching quotes, The Rock tells reporters that Sib was like a second father to him, a loving and supportive father figure.
