Image Of The Day – ZZ TOP’s Tour Poster
Unbelievable, unbelievable. Houston’s bearded vet rockers ZZ TOP started
to let their beards grow back in 1969, that’s 57 years ago, I repeat, 57 years.
So far, they have released 15 LPs, with 2012’s La Futura as the most recent one.
Co-founder/bassist-vocalist Dusty Hill passed away 5 years ago, aged 72. He was
replaced by the band’s longtime guitar technician Elwood Francis. ZZ Top is still fronted by co-founder Billy Gibbons and have Frank Beard, the original drummer, still striking
his tom-toms.
All tour dates, including Europe and the UK, HERE.
No Retirement Yet For DEEP PURPLE
23 April 2026
As the saying goes, “you’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll.”
DEEP PURPLE (1968–1976, 1984–present / 23 LPs with 2024’s
‘=1‘ as the most recent one) are one of the many examples.
The band still features 3 key members, drummer Ian Paice (aged 77),
bassist Roger Glover (aged 80), and powerhouse voice Ian Gillan (aged 80)
and they still tour nonstop around the globe.
This summer they return to America.
Still smoking.

BECK – New Single And Tour
Former self-declared loser BECK (now 55) has released a brand new single,
called RIDE LONESOME. His first new music since 2023. It’s a smooth reverie,
produced by Nigel Godrich, who also produced three of Beck’s albums during
the late ’90s and 2000s. No indication whatsoever of a new longplayer.
