ZZ Top’s legendary drummer, Frank Beard, is taking a temporary break from the band’s current tour due to a health-related matter. The band has announced that Beard is undergoing treatment, but they assure fans that he is expected to make a full recovery.
In the meantime, longtime ZZ Top collaborator and veteran drummer John Douglas will be stepping in to keep the beat alive. Douglas, best known for his work with Aerosmith, has a solid reputation as a skilled musician and has previously played with a range of rock icons.
ZZ Top remains on the road, continuing their tour without interruption, as Beard focuses on his recovery. The band has expressed gratitude for the support and understanding of their fans and is looking forward to having Beard back behind the kit as soon as he’s ready.
Fans can catch ZZ Top performing live across multiple cities as they bring their signature Texas blues-rock energy to audiences worldwide.
