ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, a founding member and driving force behind the band’s iconic sound, has died at 77 after a recent illness. His passing follows the loss of bassist Dusty Hill in 2021, and while it means canceling upcoming shows, the band vows to keep playing — as Beard would have wanted. Known for his legendary groove on hits like “La Grange” and “Sharp Dressed Man,” he helped sell over 50 million albums and was part of ZZ Top’s historic 40-year lineup stability, earning them a Guinness World Record and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2004.
