ZZ Top Drummer Frank Beard Leaves Tour To Focus On “Health Issue”


ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has left the band's Elevation Tour to focus on an unspecified "health issue."

The Texas trio’s reps said Saturday that its co-founder “has temporarily stepped away from the current tour to attend a health issue requiring his focus in the near term” and is “looking forward to a speedy recovery.” ZZ Top was formed in 1969 in Houston, featuring Beard alongside singer-guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist-singer Dusty Hill. They went on to become one of rock’s best-loved trios — and bands — with their massive success driven by signature videos that then-nascent MTV played in heavy rotation.
