ZZ Top's Dusty Hill Dead at the Age Of 72

[Ohio Joe]

It’s being a sad week for the music world. We’ve just shared the sad loss of former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison and not long following his death, the music world lost another legend. This time a bassist from ZZ Top, the band’s legendary bassist Dusty Hill passed away at the age of 72. According to Hill’s bandmates, he passed away at his home, in Houston Texas. They’ve posted a statement from social media accounts to share Dusty Hill’s loss.

“We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX,” the surviving ZZ Top members write. “We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top’. We will forever be connected to that “Blues Shuffle in C. You will be missed greatly, amigo.”

14. I'm kinda bugged because ZZ is playing Phoenix in a month or so

And they still have Dusty in the photos. I think his guitar tech is the replacement, but I'm not sure. I know they continued their tour after he passed last year.
