Frank Beard, the legendary drummer for ZZ Top, died Monday, Aug. 17, at the age of 77.
News of Beard’s death was announced a day later, with a statement noting he “was in hospice care when he passed away at his ranch in Richmond, Texas, with family members at his side.”
Beard’s death camea little more than five years after the passing of bassist Dusty Hill. ZZ Top had continued to tour with Elwood Francis on bass, and more recently, as Beard’s health began to decline, Michael Monahan filled in behind the drum kit. In a post to ZZ Top’s Instagram, Billy Gibbons – the band’s guitarist, frontman and sole surviving core member – paid tribute to Beard.
“Today, Elwood and I lost a great friend and collaborator, and the world lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas,” Gibbons wrote. “His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top.”

As news of Beard’s passing spread across the world, many fellow rockers took to social media to pay their respects.
Former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum described Beard as “the backbone of ZZ Top for 57 years with the best shuffle known to man.” Meanwhile, Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk recalled a lifechanging experience watching Beard play. “I first experienced ZZ Top at the LA Forum in high school for the Eliminator tour. My mind was BLOWN! Watching his two hand shuffle live was immense.”
Elsewhere, Foghat described Beard as “an incredible drummer and great guy. We’ve done so many shows with ZZ Top over the years and always a pleasure to share the stage with them. Our thoughts and love go out to Billy & Elwood, and of course his family & friends. Thank you Frank for your solid presence all these many years.”

Rest In Power, Frank Beard. A great drummer, who wasn’t just part of an iconic band, but an institution in the best sense of the word. ZZ Top IS Texas! Condolences are due. His last name was arguably the greatest ironic Dad Joke i in Rock & Roll. Please send Billy Gibbons ❤️🩹.

When ZZ Top put out a record celebrating their 30th year in the business, every one of those years seemed to be showing. It had been a decade and a half since ‘Eliminator,’ and they were still struggling to definitively build upon or move on from that out-sized success. Unfortunately, ‘XXX’ often felt like a placekeeper.
