ZZ Top have revealed plans to hold a benefit concert for the victims of the recent hurricane in Houston. The show will take place on September 10 at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land. They shared news of the upcoming concert with rollingstone.com and also opened up about their emotions watching their home city covered in flood waters. “I think it would be safe to say that I shared in the initial rush of utter confusion. It’s going to be a while before that calms down. The good news is that the rains have subsided, although I understand that the storm system itself is still manifested in an ongoing fashion. I think it’s going northeast, but it’s going to be a tough road to hoe to climb from the wreckage, so to speak,” Billy Gibbons explains. He added: “It really leaves you thinking, “How is this possible?” We’ve rallied a bit. We had already planned to make a tour date outside of Houston, right in an outlying community called Sugar Land, Texas. That was also hit hard. But the good news is that the water is receding. The plan is to stick to our guns, charge ahead and pull the show together the best we can. With the promoters and the sponsors of the event, we’re going to make a $100,000 donation to the relief fund, just to get something started on that level.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com.
