Matt Sorum@mattsorum RIP Frank Beard … The backbone of ZZ Top for 57 years with the best shuffle known to man. It might sound easy but possibly one of the hardest things I’ve ever try to learn and still trying …… that being said he was born with it in his blood with that Lil Ol Band from Texas they had a name for it … The Texas shuffle !! Maybe most folks wouldn’t appreciate it as much as us drummers . A very special and unique man behind the kit. Condolences to his family and Bandmates and crew that have been out there for over a half a century. @zztop

@ar.chie1664 Oh Know. RIP Frank Beard. ZZ Top has always been an absolute favorite group. I have ticket to the up and coming show in September at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. So Sad.

@benjaekel64 Such an iconic sound! ZZ is one of my top 5 all time, as is Billy fuckin Gibbons the most incredible guitarist. This is so sad. Everyone’s dying whom we grew up with and colored the background of our lives.
@donjoelrios On to Eternity I hope 🙏
