Texas trio ZZ Top are back in Europe this summer, playing dates in London, Manchester, France, Germany and more. In November 2012, they were awarded the Living Legend award at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour awards ceremony in London. Not bad for a band that formed in 1969, have 15 albums to their credit, the last of which was released last year. Combined album sales are over 15 million.

Mini-biographies of the boys, plus their influences and who they in turn have influenced. Awards won, plus bits and pieces of fascinating and fun trivia charting their rise to fame.
