FixedBusiness 407 Posted September 13, 2017 Earlier this month, one of two Steely Dan members passed away from an unspecified illness. Walter Becker. Now, just breaking, the other Steely Dan (that being Donald Fagen) member has canceled all remaining tour dates because of a unspecified illness. Will this be nothing or another rock pair this year?*https://www.pollstar.com/article/ailing-donald-fagen-cancels-us-gigs-133038*See, Molly Hatchet, Felt, Can. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,288 Posted September 13, 2017 I like the Steely Dan album Katy Lied, just because they put a type of cricket called the katydid on the album sleeve. Puns like that appeal to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puns like that appeal to me. I remember one of our secondary school classrooms had a wall full of Album covers because, well, they can be ART! I don't buy many CDs anymore ( apart from a Four Tops Greatest hits album and a Motown Anthems thingy at HMV this morning.....2 for a tenner infact ) so is the art on the covers still up to scratch or not?

gcreptile 10,211 Posted October 22, 2017 So the reason for the cancellation: "an upper respiratory tract infection, severe sore throat as well as sinus and headache pains." http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/18/donald-fagen-illness-lawsuit-insurance-canceled-tour/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,211 Posted October 10, 2023 The Steely Dan farewell tour seems to become a pretty definite affair: https://www.vulture.com/2023/10/steely-dan-donald-fagen-eagles-tour-replaced.html Edit: No, sorry, it's the Eagles farewell tour and Steely Dan are the supporting act. And Donald Fagen has to be replaced by Sheryl Crow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
