ZZ Top's drummer Frank Beard has stepped back from the Elevation tour due to health issues requiring immediate attention. The band's management announced this transition, revealing that percussionist John Douglas will fill in while Beard recovers. This situation comes after the band's original lineup was altered following the death of bassist Dusty Hill in 2021. Following Hill's passing, Elwood Francis, who initially served as a guitar technician, has taken on bass duties, reflecting the band's ongoing adjustments.
Beard has temporarily stepped away from the current tour to attend to a health issue requiring his attention in the near term.
When I first started doing it, Dusty was just sick and going home for a few weeks. It was entirely different; I was just helping out.
It's just weird. Dusty is their bass player. I'm not the bass player. I'm not in the band. I'll never be in the band.
