Steely Dan's Walter Becker Cause of death Revealed – He Went Quick

Steely Dan's Walter Becker Cause of death Revealed – He Went Quick
The guitarists wife Delia says that Becker death followed a short battle with an "extremely aggressive form of esophageal cancer."

Becker died on September 3, 2017 and many were scratching their heads since it didn't seem like he was sick and if he was it wasn't very serious – turns out it was.

His wife wrote, "Walter chose an intense regimen of chemotherapy at Sloan Kettering, between the cancer’s aggressiveness and the overwhelming toxicity resulting from the chemotherapy treatments, Walter died less than four months after the cancer was detected."

Her statement also read, "Understandably, Walter wanted privacy during the course of his illness and he hoped for recovery. He wanted to be able to return to the stage and once again perform for his fans. It's important to me, as it was to Walter, that you all know he never intended to keep anyone in the dark about his condition. He just ran out of time much sooner than any of us thought possible."

Delia Becker also said that she's dealing with this devastation of the loss and she's slowly starting to climb out of it.

The other half of Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, says that he will continue with the band. - by John Beaudin
