Such a loss. Steely Dan were a big part of my musical education.

A big loss. One of most collaborative bands I have ever listened to. Maybe even the most. The amount of raw talent they gathered up was astounding.
Walter Becker, you are a musical legend!

Yes a big loss I think, and too young as well. I was toying with the idea of going to see them in Dublin soon as well.

Really sad news. I'm a big Steely Dan fan.
I loved the way Walter didn't have a huge ego and would get the best lead guitarists he could find to play on each song / album.
Another massive loss.
