Steven Page has left BNL....

[mickeywho?]

Seems like the end of an era - these guys were my university pub band.
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.

That is really too bad. I don't know if BNL will ever be the same without Steven Page. I have always liked this group. Now I regret not getting to see them in concert.

Do you think this is because of his "mishap" ?

I remember the first time I saw the BNL was on Speakers Corner singing The Yoko Ono song. I went right out and bought the cassette that had the same songs on both sides. Great music. Sad to see them parting ways but I'm not surprised.

Saw them in concert last summer for the first time. They were amazing. I'm sorry to hear that they are parting ways but wish them all the best.

Never been a fan of their music. I think Mr Page has some issues to deal with, leaving his wife, the drug arrest and leaving a successful band. He'll be in hospital or rehab soon.

I hope he gets the treatment he needs.

Yes, but he's lost 40 pounds!

My only time seeing them in concert was at the very beginning. I can still see the KD flying all over the stage

Also read today about JD Fortune being kicked out of INXS. Not that I am a huge fan but what's with our boys and the nose candy??? Shame really.

 

[Cdnmom2001]

Yes it is sad, but I personally feel he is on a road of destruction. The band will not be the same, but I will still be a fan. I've seen them about 8 times live, even pg with my son (what a memory)

I'm sure most medical professionals will say you're better off with 40 more pounds than losing 40 on the coke diet and turning into a coke head.

Sheesh, Ham Ham. Maybe he lost weight from being "in love" with his new girlfriend. You know, the girl pictured next to him with her own mug shot?

 

[Ham Ham]

Must be a couples dream to get busted together with his and hers mug shots.
What was Bif Naked doing there with them?
