Reports are that Dusty Hill of ZZ Top died in his sleep today. He had gone back to Texas to deal with a hip issue and was not going to tour this year.
The band posted on Facebook:
Per Dusty’s request “The show must go on!”. With that directive, ZZ Top has put the services of Mr. Elwood Francis, their trusted guitar tech of the past two decades, into play with his slide guitar, bass guitar, and harmonica playing in full swing.
There is no word on the cause of death at this time. You can read more HERE
