Biography

Frank Lee Beard (June 11, 1949 – August 17, 2026) was an American musician who was the longtime drummer of the rock band ZZ Top. He and bassist Dusty Hill performed with American Blues before the two joined guitarist Billy Gibbons on ZZ Top. The trio enjoyed early success with the hits "Tush" and "I Thank You", before releasing the album Eliminator in 1983, which went certified diamond and featured the hits "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Legs". ZZ Top's 1985 release Afterburner was their highest charting Billboard album at No. 6, and its singles "Sleeping Bag" and "Stages" both reached No. 1 on Billboard's rock chart. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
