    Walter Becker is gone...

    Walter Becker, guitarist, bassist and co-founder of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band Steely Dan, died Sunday at the age of 67.



    Singer-keyboardist also talks sci-fi, mental health and growing up as "a real jazz snob"

    Becker's official site announced the death; no cause of death or other details were provided.


    Becker missed Steely Dan's Classic East and West concerts in July as he recovered from an unspecified ailment.
    "Walter's recovering from a procedure and hopefully he'll be fine very soon," his band mate Donald Fagen told Billboard.

    Becker's doctor advised the guitarist not to leave his Maui home for the performances.
