Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen arrested for assault on wife

Donald Fagen, lead singer and co-founder of Steely Dan, was arrested at his NYC home Monday night after a physical altercation with his wife, musician Libby Titus.

Rollingstone.com reported the news, which was comfirmed by a representative for the NYPD.

"[Titus] and Fagen were involved in a verbal dispute, at which point he grabbed her by the arm and pushed her," the representative said. "She fell, bruising her arm."

Fagen was released yesterday morning without bail after his arraignment. He was charged with misdemeanor assault and also ordered to stay away from his wife.

The New York Post reported that according to a criminal complaint, Fagen allegedly pushed Titus into a marble window frame, "causing her to fall onto the frame and suffer bruising and swelling to her right arm, as well as substantial pain."

Fagen and Titus have known one another since they attended Bard College in the 1960s. They married in 1993.

Steely Dan, a band named after a dildo, had moody, jazzy, soft-rock hits including "Do It Again," "Reelin' in the Years," "Peg" and more.

Fox is among the most requested celebrities by our fans, and we couldn't be more excited that he will make his Wizard World debut at one of our flagship shows, Philadelphia," said John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO, in a statement.

"We are also thrilled that he will be paired with his co-star in the ["Back to the Future"] trilogy, Lea Thompson," he added.

Last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge David Hennessey denied a motion by Camille's lawyers to throw out the subpoena.

She appealed and on Monday asked Hennessey to delay the deposition until the appeal is heard.

The judge agreed yesterday to the postponement, saying it would be unfair to deny Camille her right to appeal. He says if the appeal is denied, the deposition should be rescheduled quickly.
