One of the best power trio bassists ever to take a stage, and an incredible blues musician in his own right. It ain't easy to hold down ZZ Top.
Died in his sleep in his home in Houston.

Dusty Hill and his great music talent will be missed.
Cannot imagine ever taking a road trip and not having ZZ Top on the playlist!

What! No way! Ya kidding me! Sound track to loads of road trip holidays with mates in the 80's. RIP bass man. 
That sucks. I was never a huge ZZTop fan when I was younger but I got to really like them my my 30s as my rock cover band HAD to play a few of their songs (La Grange, Cheap Sunglasses, Sharp Dressed Man…) at every gig.
Great stage presence with Gibbons as well.

Yeah sad day for music, I am stunned. They were scheduled to play a show near me. Guess I will never see a live ZZtop show. That actually hurts.
May Dusty rest in peace.
Sad and completely unexpected news.
Rest in peace, Dusty. You will be greatly missed.

Vaya con dios, Dusty. There were dang few better on the bottom end of the scale.
RIP.....I was fortunate to see ZZ Top live in a smaller venue. They put on a great show.
I wore out my Eliminator cassette in the early 80's. The videos from that album were fantastic to a teenage boy.

I also got to see ZZ a few years back in a smaller venue. My guess is that this will be the end of their very long run. (Pours out a 12-year Glen-f).
Being from Texas, there is a special place in my heart for ZZ Top. Here is my favorite:
For Rock/Blues, it doesn’t get much better. RIP, Dusty.

Great player in a great band. Was playing with Lightnin Hopkins when he tried out for ZZ Top. He will be missed.
Beat me to it, I just read in his obit where he played with the legendary Hopkins back in Houston in the late 1960s before the formation of ZZ Top. What a cool fun fact.
A talented musician from a great band, will definitely be putting some of their music in the que today.
Tres Hombres and Rio Grande Mud are my favorite ZZ Top albums.
Dusty Hill, Long-Bearded Bassist for ZZ Top, Dies at 72 (Published 2021)
The band, known for its hard-charging, blues-inflected rock, was one of the biggest acts of the 1980s, selling more than 50 million albums.
Doesn't get much better than "Just got paid"
RIP Dusty Hill. Thank you for the music.
