ZZ Top - and then there was 1 ... RIP: Frank Beard

Frank Beard passed away at 77 yrs old from his recent illness. He joins the late Dusty Hill in Heaven. The lone survivor is Billy Gibbons. A common theme amongst bands we all listened to that originated in the 60's & 70's. Getting old and losing our heroes sucks.
I truly believe Keith Richards is going to outlive Moses.

Must be why they cancelled their show at the Hollywood Bowl a couple of weeks ago.

RIP to Pecan Grove’s finest.
I live right next to Top 40 Ranch. I’ll have to drive by later and pay my respects.

I’m thankful I got to see ZZ Top a couple of years ago. Dusty had unfortunately passed by that point, but Billy and Frank were still 2/3 of the original band performing. Amazing show. Billy’s the last man standing now. RIP Frank!

I wouldn't doubt it.
They had a few photos and videos playing during the newscast where they cancelled their show.
Don't know how old they were but he didn't look well.

Damn that sucks. I was lucky enough to see them three times over the years and all three were with the original guys. A really good band

The one member of the band with no beard had the last name "Beard".

Love ZZ, but I never thought he was a very good drummer.
RIP regardless

Probability one of the best shuffle drummers, he mostly stayed in the pocket and played precise fills. Not big on soloing but was excellent for a power trio that relied on Billy Gibbons playing. Exhibit A

Our great grandchildren will be elderly before Keith dies.....if he dies.
Really, though. I saw a documentary on ZZ Top a few years ago and Frank looked in bad shape, surprised he made it this long.

2nd or 3rd show I saw as a kid. Had fun watching all of the drunk white people (not me, I was 15). Good times.

I’ve been a ZZ Top fan for over 50 years. Frank’s death truly saddens me.

RIP Frank. I had all there good early stuff in HS on 8-track and vinyl they were played until they couldn't be played no more. My first show at the Warehouse in NOLA (and second real concert ever) was the night they recorded Fandango on 4/12/74.
