The co-founder and guitarist of this powerful rock duo Steely Dan is lifeless. Walter Becker died on Sunday, September 3, in age 67.

His departure was first announced on his site, along with a picture of him like a child next to one of him as an adult holding a guitar. With no other details cited, it's unclear what the cause of his death was.

Late Becker had missed two recent Steely Dan performances, even according to Billboard. At the moment, the team's lead vocalist and keyboardist Donald Fagen informed Billboard Becker had been "recovering from a process and hopefully he'll be fine very soon."

Becker was born in 1950 and grew up in Queens, New York, where he began as a saxophonist then switched to guitar as a teen.
