The band rose to fame in the ’70s with hits including “Deacon Blues,” “Kid Charlemagne,” “Hey Nineteen” and “My Old School.” They broke up in 1981 but got back together in the ’90s and have since produced several new albums and gone on tours.
Becker and Fagen were inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, according to TMZ.
