ZZ Top Drummer Frank Beard Passes Away at 77

Frank Beard, the drummer for the renowned blues rock band ZZ Top, has died at the age of 77.

Beard was known for his unique position in the band as the only member without a beard, which often provided a humorous contrast. His drumming style was characterized by a steady, rhythmic approach that complemented the band's sound, particularly pairing well with Dusty Hill's bass guitar.

ZZ Top, which has seen the loss of two of its members, now has Billy Gibbons as the sole surviving member. The band is celebrated for its extensive catalog, including hits like Sharp Dressed Man and La Grange, as well as many lesser-known tracks that showcase their musical range.
