Why did Steely Dan postpone his tonight show recently?
The rock-jazz band Steely Dan has postponed tonight’s concert at the Beacon Theater, where it was to perform the hit album “Gaucho” from 1980 as part of a series of shows in New York and nationwide where the band is recreating classic records live. A publicist for Steely Dan released a statement at 4 p.m. saying the cancellation was due to illness, and that tickets would be honored at a rescheduled performance on Wednesday, Aug. 12. Refunds are available for ticket-holders who cannot attend. A colleague who attended the Steely Dan concert on Tuesday night, when the band played the album “Aja,” said that mid-way through the show, lead singer Donald Fagen told the audience that he had a cold but would “soldier on.” The show lasted for a full two hours and included encores. Mr. Fagen’s voice sounded somewhat raspy by the end of the night, but there was no mention of him being unable to perform tonight. Sources:
