Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers will team up this summer for an extensive 37-date summer tour of North America.
Billed as "The Summer of Living Dangerously", the co-headlining trek that will see full sets by both acts will open in Charlotte, NC on May 10, with shows running to mid-July.
A Citi cardmember presale for U.S. dates runs from Wednesday, January 10 at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, January 11 at 10 p.m. local time through the Private Pass program, with general public seats available in most cities on Friday, January 12 at 10 a.m. local time – check complete ticket details via steelydanofficial.com
The 2018 shows mark Steely Dan’s second tour following last fall’s passing of co-founder and guitarist Walter Becker, with vocalist/keyboardist Donald Fagen vowing to carry on.
“I intend to keep the music we created together alive as long as I can with the Steely Dan band,” wrote Fagen in a heartfelt note following the loss of his longtime friend and bandmate.
A legal battle over control of the band and its brand was revealed in November, with Fagen and Becker’s widow, Delia, reportedly at odds over the status of a 1972 Buy/Sell agreement that stipulated that if a member of Steely Dan quit or died, the band would purchase all of that member's shares in the group.
In his lawsuit, Fagen alleges that he received a letter from Becker’s estate four days after the guitarist’s death stating that the 1972 deal was “of no force or effect", that Delia be appointed a director or officer of Steely Dan, and that she was entitled to 50 percent ownership of the group.
“We believe the agreement to which Mr. Fagen refers in his suit – drafted 45 years ago – was not in effect at the time of Walter’s death,” a representative for Becker's estate said in a statement.
