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-
