The 67-year-old musician has been charged with domestic assault, after allegedly pushing his wife Libby Titus into a marble window frame and knocking her to the ground.

According to papers filed after the incident, it caused Titus to "suffer bruising and swelling to her right arm, as well as substantial pain".

Fagen been released with no bail, while Titus told the New York Post: ""I don't feel good. I'm very tired, and I'm divorcing my husband."

Steely Dan first formed in 1972 and split in 1981, but Fagen has been touring regularly with his colleague Walter Becker since 1993, although their last album was 2003's 'Everything Must Go'.
