    I'm going to have to get me some cheap sunglasses to hide my upset! That Little ol' band from Texas were a classic act. Steadfast and classic rock from their early blues days to MTV domination.

    Really sad news. They were a brilliant band. They can't continue now, it just wouldn't be the same.

    Maybe not with Dusty Hill but it seems they are going to carry on. One of my favourite bands for decades I waited a very long time to see and then saw them twice in a couple of years recently. Brilliant live.

    I heard one of their techs who has been with them for years is going to take over. I think It was Dusty's suggestion.

    Legendary band.

    I hope they have 'cheap sunglasses' wherever he is now. Great band.

    And funky too, RIP Dusty, caught them on the Eliminator tour in 1984 in Glasgow, incredible gig. Their customised Ford Coupe was held in guidelines extending from above the Glasgow Apollo's balcony and cruised over the audiences heads during the gig.

    I remember I bought Tres Hombres on CD about ten years ago, looking through the booklet I was confused, who are these clean cut young lads and where are the fellas with the beards, I listened to some of their eighties albums, not mad on the synths or the production, Delirious is a tune though.
