ZZ Top postpone shows after Hill falls
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 28 August 2014
ZZ Top have had to cancel two weeks of live dates in the US after bassist and co-vocalist Dusty Hill fell onboard the band’s tour bus and injured his hip.
The band were on their way to a date in Michigan when the accident occurred, as part of a co-headlining trek with Jeff Beck. Their co-headliner plans to go ahead with three of the schedule shows on his lonesome, while six others are being postponed, though fans have been told to hang on to their tickets pending an announcement of rescheduled dates.
Confirming the postponements, tour promoter Live Nation said yesterday that 65 year old Hill required “immediate attention” for his injuries after the fall.
