In an interview with the Huffington Post, Steve Burns, famous for getting letters and clues and singing songs for millions of adolescent 90s babies, revealed why he left Blue’s Clues in 2002 after six years in the star-making role.
For years, rumor have floated around about Steve joining a gothic rock band or even dying, but it seems the truth is a lot simpler: he was going bald, the original crew was moving on, and he wanted to enter a new phase in his life.
In Steve’s own words: “I left the show because it was just simply time to go. I was pretty much playing a boyish, older-brotherish kind of character on the show. I was getting older; I was losing my hair; a lot of the original gangsters on the show, like the people who created it, were all moving on to other careers. It just felt like time. I just had a gut feeling like it was time to go.â€
Although Steve may not have left the show for a music career, he and Steven Drozd of Flaming Lips have put together a kid-friendly album together, Foreverywhere, which is due out in February 2017.
