Frank Beard ZZ Top Drummer Passes | Cleveland News
Description
ZZ Top lost a true legend: drummer Frank Beard, who spent over fifty years with the band and passed away at 77, peacefully in hospice surrounded by family. He stepped away from their tour just weeks prior due to health issues and never returned to the stage. Billy Gibbons hailed him as a “great true son of Texas,” crediting his iconic backbeat for ZZ Top’s global success and saying the band will carry on as Beard would have wanted. While some tour dates are canceled, ZZ Top plans to perform this weekend at Austin City Limits. Beard joined the band in 1969, helping them sell over 50 million albums and earn Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2004.
