Dusty Hill has passed away.

ZZ Top it's no metal band, and neither I like them, but I respect their career as classic rock band, and therefore I believe fits in our forum, to inform of the passing of their bassist.

RIP. Very glad I got to see them in concert!

Strange how the article does that thing where people use "original lineup" to mean the lineup that played on the debut album. Totally ignoring the actual origins of the band, other members that played on their 1st single etc.

I never got to see them in concert, but I was a fan of their 80's years. When the band's 3 disc 50th anniversary release came out I picked that up, but I haven't had the chance to take a listen. So I'll pay tribute to Dusty Hill by doing that ASAP.

By the way, the band has already released a statement saying they will continue on.
