MUSIC NEWS - The Prime Minister of Macedonia, Nikola Gruevski, recently met with Texas rockers ZZ Top prior
to the band's concert at the Boris Trajkovski Arena in Skopje. Gruevski was the first to welcome the threesome upon their arrival to Skopje. We have no word on the topics discussed, and won't try to guess !
“We came to throw a great party and make lots of noise”, the iconic USA rock band said during their audience with the premier.
ZZ Top
, guitarist Billy Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard, are one of the few major rock acts to have been performing with same line-up for 40 years. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
The band's Skopje visit is part of their current world tour, having recently made tour stops in nearby Belgrade and Sofia. They wrap up their Euro leg this month, then return to North America in November for more concerts.
