I just heard that.  Terrible news.

They have (had I guess now) the longest running, unchanged lineup of any band, ever.

One of my all time favorite groups, and I love their music.  This is a huge blow to the industry and to music fans everywhere.

RiP Dusty.

Oh, heck, R.I.P. Dusty

That's now 3 in 2 days, Joey Jordison (ex slipknot), Mike Howe (Metal Church) and Dusty.

On my 21st birthday I went to see ZZ Top at the MK Bowl, one of my favourite memories.

I'm another fan of ZZ Top. Sorry to see Dusty leave so soon.

I watched a documentary about ZZ Top on Netflix recently. Dusty seemed like a good guy.

he will be missed by many. RIP

They all did.

They are the epitome of people doing what they do because they loved it, rather than doing it as a business or to make some $$.

I read a thing in FB the other day asking what celebrity death affected you the most.

Pretty sure this is the answer for me.

From Dusty's wife:

Quote
After 19 wonderful years of marriage that ended too soon, I’ve decided to step out into Dusty’s spotlight to thank all of his fans, colleagues and friends for the overwhelming outpouring of love for The Dust.  It makes me hopeful he will not be forgotten.
 
He was the kindest, most gentle and caring man a woman could ever Hope to find in a lifetime.   Many don’t believe in fairy tale marriages but Dusty and I truly lived one!    We were inseparable.   
 
He wasn’t supposed to leave me or all of you.  That wasn’t the plan he and I had.   The plan was for another round of physical therapy, with a different approach,  to help his chronic bursitis.   The plan was he would return to the second leg of the tour in September.   
 
Early Wednesday morning my world and yours would lose a great musician and I would lose my greatest love.   He woke me up and we talked and as he was sweetly chatting with me he suddenly stopped and he was gone in an instant.   So, while I feel numb and lost and alone and in a million pieces, I know he will always be with me in my heart and soul and I will join him when the Lord calls me home to be with them.   It is my hope you will always keep him in your hearts.   He loved his fans and always remembered that without fans music is not heard. So, know he truly appreciated each and every one of you.   
 
Dusty was an avid tv and movie buff…always quoting lines and so I share an embellished quote from “This Is Us”  as my last love letter I send with him to his final resting place.
 
My Sweet Dusty,
 
The single most extraordinary thing I have ever done in my life is fall in love with you.   The single most extraordinary gift I have ever received in my life was for you to ask me to marry you.   I have never been seen so completely, loved so passionately and protected so fiercely.
 
I will be with you again.
Love you to infinity and back.
 
Your wife,
Chuck
 
 
I will lay my husband to rest tomorrow.   I would ask that you look to the heavens at noon and wish Dusty Godspeed.
 
With great love, respect and appreciation to Dusty’s fans, colleagues and friends,
 
Mrs. The Dust

I just loved that. Honest and grounded.  And justification for buying another guitar
