ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, 77, has passed away in hospice care in Richmond, Texas — a devastating loss for the band and fans worldwide. A true Texas son and one of rock’s most innovative drummers, Beard’s signature backbeat was the heartbeat of ZZ Top’s enduring sound since their 1969 Houston roots. Frontman Billy Gibbons called him a “great friend and collaborator,” honoring his legacy as a cultural icon whose music shaped generations. The band has canceled upcoming tour dates but plans to resume at Austin City Limits — a place Beard loved like home. His impact echoes louder than ever: a master of rhythm, a pillar of rock, and a Texas legend forever remembered.
