Frank Beard ZZ Top Drummer Passes | Tulsa News
Description
ZZ Top’s legendary drummer Frank Beard, the steady heartbeat behind hits like “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs,” has passed away at 77. A Texan through and through, he spent six decades with the band, staying true to his roots and his music. Found in hospice on his Texas ranch, surrounded by family, Beard’s legacy lives on through ZZ Top’s massive impact — over 50 million records sold, six 1 rock singles, seven top-ten albums, and three Grammy nods. Bandmate Billy Gibbons called him innovative and irreplaceable, honoring his wish to keep playing. His words — “I found the people I was meant to play with” — echo the deep bond that defined their sound. The music world loses a titan.
