The success of Fleetwood Mac however, also brought his own personal decline. Unable to handle the newfound success and his rising experimentation
with drugs, he left the group in 1970. He briefly re-emerged with several unheralded solo albums in the late seventies and early eighties, and then disappeared again until forming the Splinter Group in 1996. His recent album,"Robert Johnson's Songbook" has received critical acclaim, and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
