Enjoying his time with the group, the guitarist got the chance to travel all over the world. He also took the stage for the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour. Although seeming to love his current place in the music industry, fans were shocked when the musician quietly stepped away. With fans unsure whether Britt was fired or had quit, rumors started to circulate on social media. Not wanting the rumors to overshadow his contributions to the band, Britt offered details behind the decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The news of Britt\u2019s exit from the group comes after another musician was also replaced, Doug Lancio. His replacement was Julian Lage. As for Britt, he explained, \u201cApparently there are quite a few threads out there with people speculating about my departure from the Bob tour. I\u2019d like to clear it up. I was not fired but left of my own accord for reasons I would prefer to keep private. I will miss my band mates and crew.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tVideos by American Songwriter\t\t<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/the-3-best-songs-from-bob-dylans-1965-lp-highway-61-revisited\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[RELATED: The 3 Best Songs From Bob Dylan\u2019s 1965 LP \u2018Highway 61 Revisited\u2019]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bob Britt Exits Bob Dylan\u2019s Band And Starts Weeding<\/p>\n<p>While some believed there was tension among the group, Britt promised that there was no animosity toward <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/shut-up-revisiting-the-public-poem-johnny-cash-once-wrote-in-defense-of-this-musical-icon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dylan<\/a> or any other member.
