The Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame inductee, real name Joseph Hill, was ZZ Top\u0027s bassist for more than 50 years
“We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX,” an Instagram statement from the pair reads. “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 greatly missed, amigo.
On Friday, Beard and Gibbons played their first ZZ Top show without Dusty, revealing he was on “a short detour back to Texas, to address a hip issue”. Rocker Jeff Scott Soto was one of the first to pay tribute to Hill on Wednesday, tweeting: “I hate that my social media has become more of an obituary but such is life, young or old, we are but mere mortals when our time comes. RIP to the GREAT Dusty Hill of @ZZTop. Thank you for the decades of music!!”
