  • RIP Dusty Hill

    Dusty Hill, a bassist for the band ZZ Top, died in his sleep while at home in Houston, Texas, according to his band mates Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard, who shared the news on Wednesday.


    Dusty Hill, one of the founding members of the legendary 1970s rock group ZZ Top, has died, his bandmates announced on Wednesday. He was 72 years old.

    Hill, a bassist and vocalist for the band whose hits include Legs and Gimme All Your Lovin', passed away in his sleep while at home in Houston, Texas.

    His death was announced on Wednesday by his bandmates, Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard, who shared the sad news on Instagram.

    Hill's death comes after the musician had to drop out of recent ZZ Top shows when he was taking care of a hip injury.

    At that time, the band said its longtime guitar tech, Elwood Francis, would fill in on bass, slide guitar and harmonica.

    It is not known if his death is related to his recovery from the injury.

    A ZZ Top concert scheduled for Wednesday night at the CCNB Amphitheatre in Simpsonville, South Carolina has been canceled.

    Fans who bought tickets through TicketMaster and Live Nation will automatically have their purchases refunded.

    The ZZ Top concert scheduled for Friday at Tuscaloosa Amphitheater in Alabama has not been canceled, though the venue encourages fans to check the band's social media and the amphitheater's web page for any changes.

          Petty was one of the few concerts that his music live sounded just like his records.
