Dusty Hill tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Charleen McRory on March 23, 2002. The ZZ Top’s lead bassist passed away in his sleep at his house in Houston, Texas. He is survived by his wife and children Corey & Lindsey.

It is still unclear how Dusty Hill died. However, the 72-year-old singer-bassist had suffered a hip injury a few weeks ago, following which the band had issued a statement regarding his temporary replacement. The statement read, “The members of ZZ Top, Billy, and Frank, would like to share that Dusty, their fearless Bass player, is on a short detour back to Texas, to address a hip issue. They await a speedy recovery and have him back pronto.”

“Per Dusty’s request “The show must go on!”. With that directive, ZZ Top has put the services of Mr Elwood Francis, their trusted guitar tech of the past two decades, into play with his slide guitar, bass guitar, and harmonica playing in full swing,” it added.

“And with Elwood to our right, rest assured ZZ Top will deliver their good time, signature show”, said Billy F Gibbons. “Billy’s big guitar, crushing drums from Mr Beard, and Elwood securing the bottom end continues the delivery with those famous three chords we all dig.”

The band, on Wednesday, issued a statement expressing their grief on his death, “We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. 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. Frank & Billy.”
