Things You Didn't Know About The Rock's Wife Lauren Hashian

Publish date: 2024-05-09

Lauren Hashian comes from well-respected rock 'n' roll heritage. Her dad, John "Sib" Hashian, was the drummer for rock band Boston in the late '70s. He initially replaced the band's original drummer, Jim Masdea, in 1975 at the request of Epic Records and went on to play on Boston's 1976 self-titled debut, as well as their follow-up album. However, come the mid-1980s, he got the boot and was replaced by none other than original drummer Jim Masdea.

Sib Hashian died in March 2017 while doing what he loved most: playing music. While on the Legends of Rock Cruise with ex-Boston member Barry Goudreau, he collapsed and passed away. He was 67. As the band wrote on Facebook, "Sib's high-energy drumming on the early BOSTON albums and tours leaves a legacy that will be remembered by millions." 

The Rock also shared his thoughts on Sib Hashian's "poetic" passing on Instagram, posting a sweet family photo and writing: "Being on stage, in front of adoring fans, friends and family. Keeping the beat one last time. Your passing in this manner is extremely poetic and somehow beautiful. Thank you for the many life lessons you've taught over the years. Grateful. We love you Sib. We miss you."
