It is just a myth. Steve is still alive and kicking. At first I missed Steve, but Joe grew on me. It's a great kids show.

MYTH, Steve burns is his real name and he choose to leave.

In the fall of 1998, an urban legend began circulating on the Internet that Burns had died from a heroin overdose. To counter this rumor, Burns appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show on November 12 to confirm his continued good health. The legend may have started from Burns' appearance as an autistic teenager in an April 1995 episode of Law & Order, in which his character died before the opening credits.

I think he went crazy singing the songs on blue's clues... god I start throwing the television out of the window when I heard that song... yet it can't get out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its just a myth
