Iconic Drummer Steps Back
A legendary 70s rock star, known for being part of a band since 1969, has suddenly dropped out of their tour for a 'health procedure'. The band, ZZ Top, with a history dating back almost six decades, announced that their drummer, Frank Beard, will be taking a break from touring.
Temporary Replacement Announced
Due to Frank's absence, the band has enlisted John Douglas, a fellow Texan and longtime tech member, percussionist, and drummer, to step in for the interim period. The band expressed their well-wishes for Frank's speedy recovery as he attends to his health issue.
Fans Express Support
ZZ Top's fans were quick to share their support and well-wishes for Frank during this time. Messages of encouragement and prayers for his recovery flooded social media platforms as fans expressed their sadness at his temporary departure from the tour.
Remembering a Bandmate
Prior to Frank joining ZZ Top in 1969, the band had only recorded one single. The band's line-up, consisting of Frank, vocalist/guitarist Billy Gibbons, and bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill, had remained unchanged for over five decades until Dusty's passing in 2021, leaving fans devastated.
