ZZ Top Cancels Maine State Pier Show [PHOTO]

ZZ Top fans who were looking forward to seeing their concert at the Maine State Pier on Sept. 27 will have to make other plans. The band just announced Thursday morning they are cancelling the show because of Dusty's hip injury.

People who purchased tickets for the Maine State Pier show will get full refunds, but ZZ Top officials say the Portland show will not be rescheduled. Here is a portion of the press release below:

ZZ TOP have just announced that scheduled tour dates will resume at the first of the year (however our date at the Maine State Pier will not be rescheduled) stating, "Dusty's well being is paramount.” The statement is in reference to Dusty Hill, the band’s bass-guitarist,  who, earlier, took a mis-step on his tour bus and injured his hip, whose energies are now aimed at rehab in expectation of a a complete recovery.

The band’s management is now booking and re-scheduling an extensive run of dates starting early next year.  “We’re looking forward to getting out there and rockin’ it with Dusty in a big way...100%,” bandmates Billy F Gibbons and Frank Beard, commented.  Dusty's usual upbeat wit was very much in evidence as he added that he'd like to see Slim Harpo’s classic "Hip Shake" added to the band's repertoire.  

Ticket holders for tour dates that are NOT being rescheduled can seek a refund at their point of purchase.
