Drummer Frank Beard has rejoined ZZ Top for their summer tour after taking a leave of absence due to foot and ankle issues that have now been resolved. The band’s longtime drum tech, John Douglas, filled in for Beard over the past two months. “We’re happy that Frank is back with Elwood [Francis, bassist] and yours truly, BFG,” vocalist/guitarist Billy Gibbons said in a statement. “We missed him and are looking forward to turning it up and rocking out with him. His complete recovery is cause for celebration and that’s just what we intend to do. Welcome back, pardner!” Beard also added, “It’s good to be back. See you out there.” Beard has been ZZ Top’s drummer for over 55 years, from their 1971 debut album through 2012’s La Futura, and has co-written hits like “Legs,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Gimme All Your Lovin’.” ZZ Top’s Elevation Tour resumed on Sunday (June 1) in Victoria, British Columbia, with stops scheduled across Canada and the U.S. through October.
