The lead singer of the classic rock band Steely Dan was busted Monday for allegedly shoving his wife into a marble window frame — and now she’s filing for divorce.

Donald Fagen, 67, was in a verbal dispute with Libby Fagen, 69, when he grabbed her by the arms and pushed her to the ground, police said.

“I don’t feel good,” Libby told The Post when reached by phone. “I’m very tired and I’m divorcing my husband.”

Donald allegedly shoved her “by placing his hands on her arms and rapidly extending his arms in the direction of said frame, causing her to fall onto the frame and suffer bruising and swelling to her right arm, as well as substantial pain,” according to the criminal complaint.

The alleged assault happened at 5:30 p.m. inside the couple’s Upper East Side apartment on East 92nd Street, court papers show.

Libby suffered a bruised arm with a raised bump, police said.

Donald was arraigned Tuesday morning in Manhattan Criminal Court on one count each of assault and harassment. He was released without bail. An order of protection was issued in favor of his wife.

Donald co-founded Steely Dan and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Libby is also a successful singer and songwriter best known for the folk-rock album “Libby Titus” produced by music legends Paul Simon and Carly Simon.

I've heard she wants the Chargers dropped but the divorce may still be going forward. These days any physical contact will result in an arrest even if both parties don't want an arrest. Even if one party takes the remote, throws it across the room and damage it, is an arrest.
Hopefully they both find a peaceful resolution.

He figured if Paul Simon could get away with it...

Seriously, this is bizarre.

The last thing I expect to see when I'm checking CNN on my phone at lunchtime is a member of Steely Dan making the news.

I hope things work out.

I'm just glad it wasn't some sort of sexual related charges.

I hope things work out for Mr and Mrs. Fagen. I wonder if he suffers from depression or is bi-polar.

I was amused to read that like my wife and I, Donald and Libby went to college together, but never actually met until about 20 years later.

Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen arrested for assaulting wife

By Rebecca Rosenberg, Tina Moore and Shawn Cohen

January 5, 2016

The lead singer of the classic rock band Steely Dan was busted Monday for allegedly shoving his wife into a marble window frame — and now she’s filing for divorce.

But singer Libby Titus, 69, later changed her tune and said she wouldn’t press charges against her hubby.

Donald Fagen, 67, was in a verbal dispute with Libby when he grabbed her by the arms and pushed her to the ground, police said.

“I don’t feel good,” Libby told The Post when reached by phone. “I’m very tired and I’m divorcing my husband.”

Donald allegedly shoved her “by placing his hands on her arms and rapidly extending his arms in the direction of said frame, causing her to fall onto the frame and suffer bruising and swelling to her right arm, as well as substantial pain,” according to the criminal complaint.

The alleged assault happened at 5:30 p.m. inside the couple’s Upper East Side apartment on East 92nd Street, court papers show.

Libby suffered a bruised arm with a raised bump, police said.

Fagen was arraigned Tuesday in Manhattan Criminal Court on one count each of assault and harassment. He was released without bail. An order of protection was issued for his wife, a singer-songwriter best known for a 1977 folk-rock album co-produced by Paul Simon and Carly Simon, among others.

But when The Post contacted Libby a second time, she explained she’d just changed her mind about pressing charges.

“I just spoke to his manager. I called him, and we’re friends. I don’t know what to do. I can’t talk to you about it. I’m not going to press charges,” she said, declining to elaborate.

After that explanation, she asked again who was calling and then exclaimed, “I’m not talking to anyone from The Post, are you crazy?” — then hung up.​ ​Steely Dan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Charges dropped...but you won't see that being reported as voraciously or prominently as the arrest was...

We get it. No need to keep grinding that axe at every opportunity.

Where did you read this?

Something about the whole thing feels suspicious to me. Something doesn't feel right.

Obviously, I don't know what Fagen is like off stage and what goes on in his daily life, but I have a feeling there's something we're not being told.

Could be. I know Fagen was in therapy back in the '80s. I wonder if he suffers from depression.
