"Sib Hashian -- the drummer for the rock group Boston -- died after collapsing onstage Wednesday night ... TMZ has learned. Sib's son, Adam, tells us the drummer was on the Legends of Rock Cruise and was midset when he suddenly collapsed. A witness says CPR was performed and a defibrillator was used but to no avail. The L.O.R. Cruise began on March 18 in Florida and had stops in several places including Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. We're told the cruise will continue and other musicians are performing tributes to Sib on the boat Thursday. The drummer -- who donned an EPIC afro in the early days of his stellar career -- was famously part of Boston's self-titled album, which featured the mega-hit "More Than a Feeling." Sib's daughter, Lauren, has a daughter with Dwayne Johnson. He was 67. #RIP"
I guess that chest pain was More than a feeling.

I saw what you did there.
No doubt their debut album is beyond a classic, I am hard pressed to come up with a debut album with such impact in the 70s... Maybe Bad Company’s first albumn.. and the 2nd album showed it was no fluke... 3rd album wasn’t bad either.. but definitely not on par with 1 and 2.
After that different lead singer, and it was pretty much over, think they may have had 1 song even chart off of anything after 3rd stage.
Bad Company’s debut and Van Halen’s Debut are probably the only 70s debut albumns I can think of in rock that would be in the same ballpack as bostons debut albumn.
I’d put The Cars’ debut up there, as well.

IMO, Boston wasn’t the same without Brad Delp. After his suicide, it was a long while before I could listen to any of their songs.
I’ve heard the rumor that Scholz was partially responsible for Delp’s suicide, due to the lawsuits. Delp was an easygoing, sensitive guy & Scholz was a real SOB. I don’t know if that is true though.
Many classic rock bands just aren’t the same without their original singers: Brad Delp, Lou Gramm from Foreigner & Steve Perry from Journey.
RIP, Sib
Peter Gabriel with Genesis.
Same here, my achile’s heel, front of my right calf. That’s where my limit is. Helps to have two bass pedals though.
Delp’s suicide was all on him. Google it. He had some issues.
I'd Google it but, this thread took me back to the 20th Century.
Nevertheless, this is sad news. And only 67!
I saw Journey three or four years ago, touring with Heart. If I recall correctly, I was shocked at how much like Steve Perry that guy sounded.
But, when I saw Yes last year, that was a different story altogether. Ugghh.
Brad Delp committed suicide a number of years ago.
His wife and others blamed Tom Scholz.
I don’t think Barry Goudreau will even speak to him.
That album is almost as fresh as when it came out 40 years ago
Interesting. Didn’t know that.
That is so sad, Boston is one of my favorite bands.
Prayers up for his family.
More than a feeling!
Thanks. I’ll do more research about his suicide.
