The bad news of the last days seems to have no end. After Mike Howe and Joey Jordison, today came the sad news of the sudden death of the legendary ZZ TOP bassist Dusty Hill.

The band announced the event through its social media accounts and you can see their statement below.

“We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. 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.
