The cause of death for former Boston drummer Sib Hashian has been revealed. Hashian's son Adam has revealed to TMZ that his father died of a heart attack. Hashian died suddenly last month while on stage with his current band Dirty Water during an appearance on the Legends of Rock Cruise.
Hashian appeared on Boston's first two smash-hit releases and departed to start his own band during the writing for their 1986 release Third Stage. Boston released an official statement on their social media following Hashian's death, writing:
"Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Sib Hashian who unexpectedly passed away yesterday. Sib's high energy drumming on the early Boston albums and tours leaves a legacy that will be remembered by millions."
