Remember to tune into VHI tonight for the premiere of this year’s “VH1 Rock Honors” and check out VH1.com for backstage interview footage, pics and more of the band. The boys talk about hangin’ and playing with Nickelback in video footage taken backstage before the ceremony and Nickelback talks about their affection for ZZ. There is also a sneak peak of the Texas-trio’s Rock Honors performance of “Gimmie All Your Lovin’” at VH1.com.
Nickelback performs tonight along with a host of high-powered acts - all paying tribute to ZZ Top, Ozzy Osbourne, Genesis and Heart. ZZ Top and all the honorees give electrifying performances on the show and - in addition to Nickelback - Alice in Chains, Keane, Queens of the Stone Age and Gretchen Wilson take to the stage. The 2-hour tribute will salute ZZ Top as one of America’s groundbreaking bands of rock and their powerful influence as a band that has made a lasting mark on the history of rock.

ZZ Top has canceled its European tour so a band member can undergo treatment for a benign growth in his inner ear that’s affecting his hearing.
Dr. Shawn Nasseri, an otolaryngologist treating bassist/singer Dusty Hill, said that preliminary plans do not include surgery.
“In the near-term, we plan to stabilize Dusty’s hearing and symptoms with medication and a conservative management strategy,” he said in a statement.
ZZ Top got its start in Houston in 1969 when local guitarist Billy Gibbons got together with Hill and drummer Frank Beard, from the Dallas-based band American Blues. The group has been touring for much of the spring and its European tour was to have started June 15 in Leipzig, Germany, and run into early July.
More American dates were set for July and August. Those shows, starting July 15 in Dallas, are not expected to be affected.
“I’m looking forward to dealing with this problem and getting back out there with Billy and Frank,” Hill said. “I’m sure we’ll put this behind us very shortly.”

ZZ Top, the little ‘ol band with the big, Texas-sized blues rock sound, have been living up to their “Can’t Stop Rockin’” moniker coined by their 1985 hit song of the same title. For the first time since 2005, the Texas-trio has launched a full-scale tour and has been tearing up the road, playing to jam-packed venues since opening their 2007 tour on March 6th in Biloxi, MS. They followed with stops in Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, California and a two-night stand in Las Vegas.
Next up, the boys will kick it up at the upcoming first annual Rock On The Range set for Saturday, May 19 at Ohio’s Columbus Crew Stadium. Summer tour dates are being announced and exclusive pre-sales have been available for ZZ Top fan club members for select dates. On ZZ Top’s current 2007 tour, the blues-rock trio has been knocking out fans with blistering versions of their many classic hits including, “Legs,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” Gimmie All Your Lovin’,” “Cheap Sunglasses,” “Sleeping Bag” and “Velcro Fly” from albums like 1983’s Eliminator, 1985’s Afterburner and ZZ Top’s most recent studio album, Mescalero, released in 2003.
In a testament to the Texas bluesmen’s iconic status and popularity, VH1 will pay homage to ZZ Top’s influence on American rock at the second annual “VH1 Rock Honors” airing Thursday, May 24 at 9pm/8c on VH1 as previously reported. Along with honoring ZZ Top’s contributions to America’s rock n’ roll landscape, this year VH1 will also honor Genesis, Heart and Ozzy Osbourne. In a night of electrifying performances, Alice in Chains, Keane, Nickelback, Queens of the Stone Age and Gretchen Wilson will pay unforgettable musical tribute to these living legends with the honorees all performing together live on one stage. The 2-hour tribute will salute ZZ Top as a one of America’s groundbreaking bands of rock and their powerful influence as a band who has made a lasting mark on the history of rock.
The current tour’s success has further solidified ZZ Top’s world-standing as one of rock’s most dynamic and powerful live acts. Stay tuned to the tour page for more pre-sale announcements in store for the band’s 2007 tour, exclusively for ZZ Top fan club members.
