I wondered why he wasn't on the current tour with Fagan. Apparently he had some health issues requiring surgery. I guess something didn't go well. RIP.

Yes, it's a bummer. We are all getting older and must take good care of ourselves :!:

Sad, but not too surprising given how unhealthy and out of it he seems in YouTube vids of recent shows.

Saw the Dan with Steve Winwood last year, and the year before that as Steely Dan, no opener. Walter seemed to be doing fine, but evidently something went south. Sometimes when your time is up there's just no recourse.
