Too young.
Jim Beard, a solo artist and touring keyboardist for Steely Dan for the past 16 years has died at age 63. The news was confirmed by a spokesperson for the group in a statement on Wednesday (March 6) that revealed the pianist, composer, keyboardist, producer and arranger died on March 2 due to complications from a sudden illness; at press time a cause of death had not been announced. Beard joined the live Steely Dan band in 2008 for the Think Fast Tour and in addition to performing with the long-running jazz-influenced rock group — including at his final show with the band on Jan. 20 in Phoenix, AZ — he was also a touring member of the Eagles on their Long Goodbye tour. |

Steely Dan put out some great music from "Can't buy a Thrill" in 1972, to 1980's "Gaucho", but I never really considered them a "band" in the traditional sense.
Two guys, (Becker & f agen), and a revolving door of session musicians that changed on nearly every successive album. Wiki lists 99 session members, and that's just for the studio albums. At least another 4 dozen touring members over the years, with multiple keyboardists.

There's a cover band from Russia called Leonid and Friends. Their main thing is spot on covers of Chicago tunes, but they also do other songs including a very good cover of Steely Dan's My Old School: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_8aZZ9d_EA

Yep, that's a good one. And don't forget about Lexington Lab Band. They do a great tribute to that song as well. Plus many, many others. https://youtu.be/D0L2hcCsanY?si=lEJVc7ljVxURlRF-

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
