Ultimate Guitar June 29, 2026 Longtime Dylan Guitarist Bob Britt Also Quits As His Wife Assures Fans It Has Nothing to Do With Julian Lage's Arrival Julian Lage's unadvertised entry into the world of Bob Dylan, however, wasn't the only lineup change that occurred in the "Like a Rolling Stone" icon's touring retinue. As Rolling Stone reported on June 29, Bob Britt, who's been playing with Dylan since 2019, announced his departure from the band by posting a photo of a plane flight on Facebook with the caption "Sayonara Bobby." In the meantime, Britt took to the platform once again to clarify that he left the band of his own volition. "Apparently there are quite a few threads out there with people speculating about my departure from the Bob tour. I'd 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." "I am looking forward to getting back to doing sessions (give me a call) and also finishing up [Britt's wife] Etta's gospel record. As far as any touring goes, we will see what the future holds. Meanwhile, I have some flower beds to weed."Joel Paterson started playing in Bob Dylan's band from Jun 29, 2026.
