Elwood Francis still feels “weird” being ZZ Top’s bassist

After ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill passed away in July 2021, Elwood Francis, the band's guitar tech, took over the job permanently, but he says he's still not completely comfortable in the role.

While it was Hill's wish for Elwood take over for him, Elwood tells Guitar World it still feels "weird" having the gig, which he originally thought would just be temporary.

Elwood and ZZ Top are currently on tour overseas and will play London's OVO Arena Wembley on Thursday. A complete list of dates can be found at zztop.com.
