Chris Burney permanently retires from Bowling For Soup citing “medical issues”

I’m not surprised in the least. He’s reached Di’Anno/Jon Oliva levels of obesity. At least he gave the band his blessing to continue without him:

They're all fat though now anyway, except for the tiny middle guy...

You used to be able to say the fat guy from Bowling for Soup but now nobody would know who you’re talking about. I think Jaret is fatter than Chris.

How does one "retire" from a defunct band?

I saw them at Jenkinsons on the boardwalk in NJ when I was 12, 2000. He didn’t seem well then

They seem to be on tour constantly. They just booked Wembley for later this year. Not my thing but hardly defunct.
