Why did Bob Burns leave the band?
The Freebird Foundation contacted Bob Burns to get his personal response to this question: I left the band in 1974 because of my health. I wasn’t feeling good or thinking good at that time. Ronnie never fired me and I never quit, but I just had to leave for my own sake. The touring, the recording, the constant motion was too much. I’m very proud of my contributions though. Even today when I listen to the radio and hear me, I can hardly believe it.
