Jeff Beck and ZZ Top Announce Tour Suspension; Beck to Fill Dates Through August

Jeff Beck and ZZ Top have announced the suspension of the remaining scheduled double-bill tour dates due to an injury sustained by ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill.

According to a story posted by wcsx.com, Hill, who is 65, slipped and fell on his hip while in his tour bus last night.

As a result of his injury, which requires immediate attention, ZZ Top's shows have been suspended while he recovers. Dates affected by the suspension include all of the scheduled concert bills shared with Beck through September 13.

Earlier today, Beck's camp provided the following update:

• August 31 MGM Grand Theater @ Foxwoods Mashantucket, CT

Dates scheduled for West Palm Beach, Tampa, St. Augustine, Atlanta, Thackerville and Houston will potentially be rescheduled. Patrons should hold onto their ticket stubs for a possible future announcement.

• August 28 Ravinia Festival Highland Park, IL
