In July 2021, Hill was forced to leave a tour after a hip injury. ZZ Top performed without him at the Village Commons in New Lenox, Illinois, with Hill's guitar tech Elwood Francis on bass. [54] Five days later, on July 28, ZZ Top announced that Hill had died at his home in Houston at the age of 72. [55] His wife later reported that he had suffered from chronic bursitis. [56] Per Hill's wishes, ZZ Top continued with Francis on bass. [54] Hill had already recorded bass and vocals for ZZ Top's upcoming album. [57] The live/studio flip is just so jarring that it screams to me “contractual obligation” and makes Fandango! a difficult album to rate. But there’s enough quality and swagger to get me to a seven.

After gaining additional acclaim with the release of their tenth album, Recycler (1990), and its accompanying tour, the group's experimentation continued with mixed success on the albums Antenna (1994), Rhythmeen (1996), XXX (1999), and Mescalero (2003). They most recently released La Futura (2012) and Goin' 50 (2019), a compilation album commemorating the band's 50th anniversary. By the time of Hill's death in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running band with an unchanged lineup in the history of popular music.

The original line-up was formed in Houston and consisted of Gibbons, bassist/organist Lanier Greig, [5] and drummer Dan Mitchell. [5] The name of the band was Gibbons' idea. The band had a small apartment covered with concert posters and he noticed that many performers' names used initials. Gibbons particularly noticed B.B. King and Z. Z. Hill and thought of combining the two into "ZZ King", but considered it too similar to the original name. He then figured that "king is at the top" which gave him the idea of naming the band "ZZ Top". [6]

While the fandango is generally defined, according to Merriam-Webster, as a “lively Spanish or Spanish-American dance in triple time that is usually performed by a man and a woman to the accompaniment of guitar and castanets,” it can also mean just simple “tomfoolery.” While ZZ Top have never really been known to play anything close to resembling music that would inspire a fandango as defined in the former, they definitely have been known to engage in the latter.
