Dusty Hill, bassist and supporting singer of ZZ Top for more than half a century, died today, while sleeping at his home in Houston (Texas), as confirmed in a statement by the other two members of the band, Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard. Hill was 72 years old. "We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss his steadfast presence, good nature and enduring commitment," they wrote.The group Hill founded in 1969 has not clarified whether his death is related to a recent health problem. On July 23, ZZ Top posted on its Facebook wall that the bassist was leaving the tour to "fix a hip problem." And they added: "We hope his speedy recovery and have him back soon." But Hill never rejoined live entertainment, he was replaced by Elwood Francis, a regular contributor to the ensemble.
