Frank Beard, the long-time drummer and founding member of the legendary rock band ZZ Top, passed away on August 17, 2026, at the age of 77. Ironically, despite his famous last name, he was famously the only member of the band who typically wore just a mustache rather than the iconic chest-length beard. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Life and Career
- Founding Member: Born on June 11, 1949, in Frankston, Texas, Frank Beard joined forces with Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill to form ZZ Top in 1969. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

- The Lineup: He kept the beat for over 50 years, maintaining the group's original trio lineup until health issues led to recent tour cancellations and his passing in hospice care at his Texas ranch. [1, 2, 3]
