The statement from their website:


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.

I'm as stunned as anyone. I know he had some issues recently, but I can't see where the band would let him leave.

I have seen the band the last 7 times they were in Michigan, with the exception of the New Years Eve show this past year. I was even at the show that got taped for the "Talk to the Hand: Live in Michigan" DVD.

I cannot at all imagine what a show will be like without him. Barenaked Ladies WAS Steve & Ed. Everything revolved around their center.

For anyone who wants to know what a BNL live show was about, get the Live in Michigan DVD. It was an awesome show filmed at a great venue. Look for me, I'm waaaaay in the back.

This is a sad day for BNL, I hope he later decides to come back.

Glad I saw them on the BLAM tour.

And the Maroon tour.

I'm sure they'll still be good - just different.
