Per the article:
Longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died, the band announced on Tuesday afternoon. He was 77 years old.
Beard passed away at his ranch in Richmond, Texas, alongside his family in hospice care.
“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. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top,” said lead singer and guitarist Billy Gibbons.
While he wasn’t a founding member of the band, he went on to perform alongside Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill for 56 years. He joined the band when they had already made their debut. Beard is actually responsible for bringing Hill into the group.
