ZZ Top has returned to the stage following the death of longtime drummer Frank Beard.
On Saturday (Aug. 22), the legendary Texas blues-rock band played its first show since Beard’s death earlier in the week at Austin’s Moody Theater, “one of Frank’s favorite venues and in a city that had been something of a second home for him,” according to a previous press statement.
