Steven Page leaving BNL
The statement from their website:
Quote:
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.

This makes me sad.  I'd planned on going to their concert later this year (they usually hit Ohio in December), but I can't imagine it being as fun without the banter/silliness of Steve & Ed.
