The band’s administration revealed the information in a Saturday afternoon assertion, explaining that longtime tech crew member (and, importantly, “fellow Texan”) John Douglas will fill in for Beard till his return, and that Beard was “wanting ahead to a speedy restoration.”
Douglas beforehand performed with ZZ Prime after Beard underwent an emergency appendectomy in the course of the band’s 2002 European tour.
In keeping with SetList.fm, Beard was not current on the band’s most up-to-date live performance, which passed off Friday night time at Florida’s St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
ZZ Prime’s present lineup consists of singer and guitarist Billy Gibbons and bass participant Elwood Francis, who took over for the late Dusty Hill in 2021.
ZZ Prime is scheduled to carry out Sunday night time on the Seven Seas Meals Competition in Orlando. The band’s present North American tour is scheduled to conclude on April 12, after which they may journey to Australia and New Zealand earlier than returning again to North America for extra dates in June.
