Frank Beard, the drummer of the American rock band ZZ Top, passed away at 77 on August 17, 2023, in Texas. His bandmates and family were by his side during his final moments. Billy Gibbons, the band's frontman, praised Beard as one of the most innovative drummers, emphasizing his significant contribution to the band's success. ZZ Top, formed in 1969, will continue to perform in his honor despite recent concert cancellations due to Beard's health issues. Beard joined ZZ Top in 1971 and became known for his energetic drumming style. He faced personal challenges, including drug addiction, but remained a key figure in the band until his retirement last year. His passing follows the death of fellow band member Dusty Hill in 2021.
