For a long time in 1966, fans thought he had died.

One of the interesting facts about Bob Dylan is that around 1966, fans thought he was dead. Dylan lost control of his Triumph motorcycle on July 29, 1966, while riding near Woodstock, New York. Fans were confused about his whereabouts because he was one of the top performers at the time and an outspoken critic on social media. According to Dylan's biographers, the accident gave him a chance to get away from the stresses in his environment. According to Dylan's autobiography Chronicles: "Despite being hurt in a motorcycle accident, I made a full recovery. In reality, I wished to escape the rat race." He didn't travel again for about 8 years and made a very small number of public appearances.

Years later, the celebrity acknowledged his weariness. He has finished a lengthy tour, his drug usage is out of control, and he must deal with stalkers and obstacles posed by adoring admirers. After an incident in which a fan approached Dylan with a rifle, it was widely reported at the time that Dylan slept with a gun. While Bob Dylan is recovering at home with his wife and children, the press has been working nonstop to capture images of him.

He had to stop the tour due to the injury, but in that period, he recorded a lot of songs with the band members who had previously accompanied him on tour. The Basement Tapes, a collaboration album using these recordings, was published in 1975.
