"We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX," according to a statement posted to the group's Instagram feed.
"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."
I was lucky to see them twice live. The first time with Jeff Beck and the last as a headliner at the Bourbon and Beyond Festival. There was a ton of power in just a trio and they rocked. Thank you for the memories and the music
Love their earlier stuff.
There is a great 90 minute documentary on Netflix (I think - might be Prime).
RIP Mr. Hill.

Didn't realize that. They are (or maybe, were) playing an amphitheater in the town next to me this Sunday. RIP.

After the watching the documentary you'll understand the "Blues Shuffle in C" comment.
