ZZ Top abruptly canceled their Hollywood Bowl show hours before kickoff due to “unforeseen personnel matters,” with Billy Gibbons citing “insurmountable obstacles.” Fans will get full refunds and parking passes. This isn’t the first time lineup issues have derailed their tour — drummer Frank Beard, who’s been with the band since 1969, stepped away last year for health reasons and was replaced by John Douglas. At 77, Beard’s absence has sparked debate among fans about whether ZZ Top should consider retirement. Their next gig is August 7 in Fresno. Meanwhile, opening act Cheap Trick pivoted to a smaller Troubadour show. Social media reactions are mixed — some send well wishes, others worry about the trend of aging rock icons canceling shows. The current trio — Gibbons, Beard, and Elwood Francis (who joined after Dusty Hill’s 2021 passing) — still delivers hits like “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and “Sharp Dressed Man,” and they’re Hall of Famers since 2004.
