Donald Fagen Discusses The Loss Of Walter Becker And Steely Dan’s Future
Written by broebling on December 21, 2017
Donald Fagen of Steely Dan has spoken out in a lengthy and open interview, the first since Walter Becker’s death in September. Fagen spoke about Becker’s death and how it didn’t come as a complete surprise, given he had been ill for some time. Fagen couldn’t talk much about the current legal proceedings stemming from his lawsuit for full rights to the Steely Dan name, but explained that there were commercial pressures on him to keep calling the group “Steely Dan”: “I would actually prefer to call it Donald Fagen and the Steely Dan Band or something like that.”
