Hill died in his sleep at his Houston home, but it’s unknown whether his death has anything to do with the hip problems he was struggling with. Because of those issues, Hill had to cancel the ZZ Top tour last week. On Facebook, the band members left behind write: “We - along with legions of ZZ Top fans worldwide - will miss your loyal presence, your good character and your unbridled commitment to give ZZ Top that monumental foundation. We will be connected forever with that Blues Shuffle in C.“ Rest in peace, Dusty! Hill, Gibbons and Beard formed the band in 1969. The bassist was known not only for his musical talent, but also for his distinctive appearance. Like singer Gibbons, for example, he had a long beard and wore sunglasses and hats on stage.
