Band co-founder and\u00a0guitarist Billy Gibbons, on tour with bassist Elwood Francis, hailed Beard in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, 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. The band of which he was part for six decades is going to keep on keeping on as he had wished,\u201d Gibbons said.<\/p>\n<p>ZZ Top sold more than 50 million records and had six singles that reached No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Seven of their albums have been in the Billboard 200\u2019s Top 10 and they earned three Grammy Award nominations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve found the people I was meant to play with,\u201d Beard says in the 2019 documentary \u201cZZ Top: That Little Ol\u2019 Band from Texas.\u201d \u201cI never wanted to quit, and never wanted to get fired.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"FILE \u2013 Billy Gibbons, from left, Dusty Hill and Frank...\" class=\"wp-image-3892\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9-1024x638.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9-1024x638.webp 1024w, https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9-300x187.webp 300w, https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9-768x479.webp 768w, https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9-1536x957.webp 1536w, https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9-400x250.webp 400w, https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c345c8958ebc749445a93d61da8d8ce9.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>FILE \u2013 Billy Gibbons, from left, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard of ZZ Top, perform in Monaco on July 5, 2010.

Hill and influenced by the British power trio Cream and Jimmy Reed. They maintained their original lineup for more than five decades. Their signature look \u2014 long, bushy beards on Gibbons and Hill, and dark sunglasses for all \u2014 didn\u2019t change much, either.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards helped induct the trio into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, he joked: \u201cThese cats know their blues and they know how to dress it up. When I first saw them, I thought, \u2018I hope these guys are not on the run, because that disguise is not going to work.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ZZ Top songs \u2014 with their sly and humorous lyrics \u2014 were popular in Hollywood, which used \u201cGimme All Your Lovin\u2019\u201d in \u201cHappy Feet,\u201d \u201cSharp Dressed Man\u201d in \u201cEvan Almighty,\u201d \u201cLegs\u201d in \u201cAir,\u201d \u201cSleeping Bag\u201d in \u201cI, Tonya,\u201d \u201cTush\u201d in \u201cDazed and Confused,\u201d \u201cMexican Blackbird\u201d in \u201cFrom Dusk Till Dawn\u201d and \u201cLa Grange\u201d in \u201cArmageddon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best way to describe ZZ Top is we\u2019re interpreters of a great American art form,\u201d Gibbons told The Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n<p>Their debut release, \u201cZZ Top\u2019s First Album,\u201d came out in 1970. Their sound was described as a hybrid mixing elements of rock, blues and funk into a steaming-hot Houston stew. They called themselves a \u201cLittle Ol\u2019 Band From Texas.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3889\">CBI\u2019s failure to stop scientist Missy Woods\u2019 crimes was outrageous government conduct, judge finds<\/a><\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Breaking through<\/h4>\n<p>Three years later, they broke through commercially with \u201cLa Grange,\u201d a funky blues song on the album \u201cTres Hombres\u201d that paid tribute to the Chicken Ranch, a brothel outside of the Texas town of La Grange that operated from 1905 until 1973 and was immortalized in the Broadway show and the film, \u201cThe Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.\u201d Gibbons has ascribed the power of \u201cLa Grange\u201d to its simplicity \u2014 just two chords and a Robert Johnson-inspired guitar solo.<\/p>\n<p>The band went on to have such hits as \u201cTush\u201d and \u201cCheap Sunglasses.\u201d But their 1983 \u201cEliminator\u201d \u2014 named after one of Gibbons\u2019 custom cars \u2014 added more production elements, synthesizers and drum machines to their stripped-down sound and yielded the hits \u201cGimme All Your Lovin\u2019,\u201d \u201cLegs\u201d and \u201cSharp-Dressed Man.\u201d The band toured with a Texas-shaped stage, live rattlesnakes and a longhorn steer.<\/p>\n<p>Long beards weren\u2019t always part of the band\u2019s look. Gibbons said it happened by accident: In 1976, the trio took a long break and scattered. Beard went to Jamaica, Hill went to Mexico and Gibbons went to France.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough we were speaking by phone, this was pre-video phone. And Dusty and I did not know that we had gotten so lazy that we had decided to forget to shave,\u201d Gibbons told The Tribune in San Luis Obispo in 2010. \u201cSo after three years we returned and showed up, and lo and behold here was this sort of wacky-looking image. And it just kind of stuck with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>A boost from MTV<\/h4>\n<p>The band\u2019s rock-chic cool played well on the nascent MTV crowd and their videos, featuring models in short skirts emerging from one of Gibbons\u2019 custom roadsters, became a mainstay.<\/p>\n<p>They kept the beards, hats and cheap sunglasses in the video trilogy of \u201cGimme All Your Lovin\u2019,\u201d \u201cSharp Dressed Man,\u201d and \u201cLegs,\u201d made with director Tim Newman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZZ Top reveled in the humor and ridiculousness of it all, busting their synchronized dance moves and spinning their white-fur guitars. These guys always got the joke, at a time when other bands were still just nervously lip-syncing in front of brick walls,\u201d Rolling Stone said in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, superstar\u00a0producer Rick Rubin\u00a0helped update the trio\u2019s sound with the band\u2019s comeback album, \u201cLa Futura.\u201d The album landed at No. 6 on the Billboard chart, their highest position since 1990\u2019s \u201cRecycler,\u201d some 22 years previously.<\/p>\n<p>Hill died in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2025, the band announced via\u00a0Instagram\u00a0that Beard would temporarily step away from the band\u2019s tour to tend to foot and ankle problems. Beard died weeks after ZZ Top called off its Aug. 5 concert at the Hollywood Bowl due to his health issues.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3887\">Bear spotted at Colorado State University is expelled from campus<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beard is survived by his wife, Debbie Meredith, and three children.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He passed away Tuesday at his ranch in Richmond, Texas, with family by his side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Frank Beard, Rock &amp;
