ZZ Top’s legendary drummer Frank Beard, a cornerstone of the band’s iconic sound since 1969, has died at 77, surrounded by loved ones at his Texas ranch. His distinctive groove powered generations of hits, and his Texan spirit was as vital as the guitars and vocals. Lead singer Billy Gibbons mourns his “great friend and collaborator,” praising Beard’s innovation and commitment to the band’s legacy, while confirming ZZ Top will continue performing as Beard wished. Though some tour dates are canceled, they’ll return this weekend in Austin — a city close to Frank’s heart — to honor his enduring musical spirit. From teen bands to rock immortality, Beard’s journey, marked by resilience and artistry, leaves behind a legacy that will forever echo.
