Steely Dan - May 27, 2017 - Greenwich, CT - R.I.P. Walter Becker
«On September 3, 2017, Becker's official website reported that he had died. No cause of death or other details have been announced.[22] Musicians such as Julian Lennon,[35] Steve Lukather,[36] and John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats[37] made public statements mourning Becker's death. Rickie Lee Jones, whose album Flying Cowboys was produced by Becker, recalled her long friendship with him in an editorial she wrote for Rolling Stone.[38]
Fagen issued a memorial letter praising Becker's talent and remarking that he was "smart as a whip, an excellent guitarist and a great songwriter.... He was cynical about human nature, including his own, and hysterically funny."» (
