- According to Bob Merlis, Beard was in hospice care and died surrounded by his family at his ranch in Richmond, Texas.
- At the time of his death, ZZ Top was touring the United States with “The Big One!” after abruptly canceling a Los Angeles concert in early August.
- Beard joined ZZ Top in 1969, followed by the band’s debut album in 1971 and its commercial breakthrough with “Tres Hombres” in 1973.
- After a three-year hiatus, full beards became the group’s trademark, while Beard remained the only member to keep a moustache.
We have lost a great friend and colleague, and the world has lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas.— Band member Billy Gibbons, announced on Instagram

- Dee Snider posted several messages on X during the preceding week about the late Black Sabbath singer, saying amid a songwriting-credit debate that he knew too much about what happened behind the scenes.
- In another post, Snider said he had nothing but love for Ozzy, who had always been kind to him, and that Black Sabbath had changed his life; he also told Sharon Osbourne that she disliked sharing.
- Kelly Osbourne said on Instagram that Ozzy did not need Snider’s approval and contrasted Snider’s brief period of mainstream success more than 40 years ago with her father’s nearly six-decade career.
- Ozzy Osbourne died aged 76 in July 2025, slightly more than two weeks after the farewell show Back To The Beginning, where he performed with Black Sabbath.
My father doesn’t need Dee Snider’s approval to establish his place in music history.— Kelly Osbourne, responding to Dee Snider’s remarks about Ozzy Osbourne, asserting that Ozzy’s legacy stands on its own
