Chris Burney, co-founder of Bowling For Soup, recently had two toes amputated after announcing his retirement from the band over health challenges. The band expressed their support for Burneyâs decision and assured fans that their future remains positive without him. Burney humorously embraced his new reality on social media, while remaining a beloved figure in the bandâs history, acknowledged by bandmates as irreplaceable and foundational to their success. The band's commitment to honor his legacy as they move forward was emphasized in their statements.
"I'm a Free-nubbin, butt-rubbin son of a gun," Burney quipped in the Instagram caption on Wednesday, showcasing his humorous attitude despite recent challenges.
"We will not be replacing Chris or touring with a touring guitarist. You can not replace a legend," the band emphasized, highlighting Burney's irreplaceable role within Bowling For Soup.
"He and I started this band 30 years ago, almost 31 now, and at one point, he was kind of the face of the band," Felicetti noted, honoring Burney's contributions.
"The three of us will carry on, with Chris' blessing and continue to build the legacy of this band we all love so much," the band assured fans.
