ZZ Top concert called off after Tyler hurt

The on-again, off-again Aerosmith and ZZ Top show is officially off again.

But the advertiser -- for what was to be tonight's concert -- is cheering viewers to hold onto their tickets as he works to postpone the rock bands at Canad Inns Stadium before the finish of September.

On Thursday afternoon, dozens of crew members worked to tear down the massive stage set up in the north end of the stadium. Only 10,000 tickets had been sold for the 23,000-seat show, Taylor said.

Tyler fell while amusing the crowd by dancing around after the sound system failed during the song Love in an Elevator, said Mike Sanborn, spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted the outdoor concert.

Tyler was on the stage's catwalk when he fell backward onto a couple of fans in the middle of what was a record crowd, Sanborn said. Security rushed to help him and the crowd cheer when Tyler got back up.


The band's present tour with ZZ Top has been a coarse one on Tyler. The group was affected to cancel seven events last month when he upset his leg during a June 28 concert in Connecticut.

"It just happens in this business," Taylor laughed. "It's rock 'n' roll."

About ZZ Top

ZZ Top is an American blues rock group shaped in 1969 in Houston, Texas. The group members are Billy Gibbons (vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (bass guitar and vocals), and Frank Beard (drums). They grasp the difference of being one of the few rock groups still consists of its original members for nearly 40 years, and until 2006, with the unchanged manager/producer, Bill Ham.

They attained the peak of their commercial achievement in the 1970s and 1980s, positioning many hit songs during that era; but they keep on together today and are still doing a tour and launching albums. ZZ Top was introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004.

Nearly as renowned as their music is the band’s appearance: Gibbons and Hill are always shown wearing sunglasses (a nod to their 1979 song “Cheap Sunglasses”), similar (if not matching) clothing, and their trademark chest-length beards, while Beard sports a mustache but not a beard. In 1984, the Gillette Company reportedly offered Gibbons and Hill US$1 million apiece to shave their beards for a television commercial, but they refused.
