Frank Beard, the legendary drummer who anchored ZZ Top’s sound for over fifty years, has died at 77, leaving behind a legacy of timeless hits like “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs.” Billy Gibbons called him a Texas-born innovator whose rhythm was the heartbeat of the band’s iconic blend of rock, blues, and funk — and confirmed ZZ Top will keep playing just as Beard would’ve wanted. The band, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and selling over 50 million records, became global icons thanks to their signature look — born from an accidental beard revival and amplified by MTV’s rock-chic videos. Beard, who recently canceled tour dates due to health issues, is survived by his wife and three children.
