Although it's been almost five years since Randy's not-so-happy ending with the Guess Who, rumors still fly about the "real" reason for his exit. Randy firmly attests that a bum gall bladder pulled him off the hit parade, but other sources are inclined to disagree. Here's Randy's explanation:
"I had to go in the hospital for an operation when my band were on top of the national charts with the number one hit, "American Woman." The guys couldn't wait for me to recuperate then, and I couldn't tell them whether I'd need three months or six months to get back on my feet. But the reasons were purely medical. Sure I had a lot of other reasons to leave. After 10 years everybody wants to do their own thing, and everybody gets sick of each other."
