(CelebrityAccess) — Following the death of longtime bassist and backup vocalist Dusty Hill, the remaining members of the legendary blues-rock band ZZ Top announced plans to continue performing.

Stepping in for Hill will be the band’s longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis, who was already filling in after Hill was forced to step away from ZZ Top’s current tour last week due to health issues.
