ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons, 71, shows off his unusual sense of style in a quirky hat

Billy Gibbons showed off his unusual sense of style as he went grocery shopping in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

The ZZ Top frontman, 71, donned a very quirky grey tasseled hat while heading to Bristol Farms in California pushing a trolley.

He completed his look with a pair of dark jeans, navy jacket and white shirt and looked in great spirits for the outing. 

He wore a black face mask according to the local rules amid the coronavirus  pandemic.  

Billy, who is the guitarist and primary vocalist of ZZ Top, formed the band in 1969 before going on to release the group’s first album in 1971.

The band lost bassist Dusty Hill in July last year after he died in his sleep at the age of 72.

The rocker, who was one of the founding members of the legendary 1970s rock group, was having health issues before he died. 

Dusty had to sit down during one of his last performances with his band. After the set, the star was helped off stage.  

The performance was with his bandmates Billy and Frank Beard, 72, on July 18 at the Iroquois Amphitheater in Louisville, Kentucky.

He sat on a large speaker the entire show and, according to TMZ, had to be helped off the stage.

Dusty had to drop out of subsequent ZZ Top performances while taking care of a hip injury.

After Dusty’s death, Billy admitted the ‘waterworks (had been) coming and going’ since his bandmate’s passing but spoke of the musician’s desire to see the group continue. 

He told Variety: ‘I had a couple of moments with the waterworks coming and going, and I really felt a sense of relief. 

Hard to share: ‘We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX,’ a statement read in July

‘I said, ‘Gee whiz, maybe I am human after all.’ This is coming from a very deep and glorious place, with respect to knowing that after 50 years with the guy, we were all joined at — no pun intended — joined at the hip.

‘But knowing that we can take his wishes forward and give him all due respect… You know, he was adamant. 

‘He said, ‘I’m going to go down and see what’s up. In the meantime, the show must go on. Don’t forget it.’ And he was pointing his finger and shaking it.’
