ZZ Top Will Continue On
The death of ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill was the big, sad news of yesterday. Now, word the band will go ahead with Dusty's blessing. In a couple tweets from Billy Gibbons to Eddie Trunk, it seems that Dusty gave his blessing for the band to continue.
ZZ Top is currently on tour. The South Carolina show planned for last night was cancelled. Hill's longtime guitar tech is filling in for the live shows.
Received this just now via text from @BillyFGibbons regarding passing of Dusty Hill @ZZTop . Billy told me okay to share w/fans: As Dusty said upon his departure, “ Let the show go on!”.and…with respect, we’ll do well to get beyond this and honor his wishes.

Also this from @BillyFGibbons @ZZTop : Dusty emphatically grabbed my arm and said, “Give Elwood the bottom end and take it to the Top”.

He meant it, amigo. He really did.
