ZZ Top Plays First Show Since Frank Beard's Passing | Music News
Description
ZZ Top rocked their first show since the death of longtime drummer Frank Beard, honoring his legacy with a powerful Austin performance. With Frank’s 50-year tenure and deep ties to the city, the band honored him by bringing in veteran drummer Michael Monahan — whom Frank himself had asked to step in due to health issues — alongside drum tech John Douglas. Frontman Billy Gibbons kept spirits high, framing the night as a celebration, echoing how they rallied after Dusty Hill’s passing. The “Big One!” tour continues through October, with South America looming in November — though whether Monahan stays behind the kit remains uncertain.
