Steven Page to leave Barenaked Ladies.

[bbernardini]

From their website:

"A MESSAGE FROM BARENAKED LADIES
By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies. Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart will continue recording and touring together as Barenaked Ladies. Steven Page will pursue solo projects including theatrical opportunities while the band enters the studio in April 2009, and hits the road in the fall.

Page says "These guys are my brothers. We've grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best in the future."

The band also wish Steven well in all of his endeavors. Ed Robertson says: "It's the start of a new chapter for all of us. Here's to the future!"

Everyone is looking forward to making new music and thanks their fans for their support."

1. Steven Page

Yes,I seen this on Canada AM today.

Steven Page was the one who got charged with cocaine possession,
so I wonder if that had something to do with his departure.

Anyways,sad to see them break up,as they were together for a little
over 20 yrs.

2. They could have solidified their reputation as gifted, literate musicians with

just the theme song to "The Big Bang Theory" all by itself. B-)
