I know some of you may think I'm silly, but the fact that Steven Page is leaving BNL (Barenaked Ladies), makes me incredibly sad! I am in LOVE with their music and have listened to them since Jr. high. Hopefully they will still be able to crank out great tunes without him. ;(
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.
P.S. OKAY i just read a whole bunch about my "Steven Page". Although I am sad to see him leave the band, my whole perception of him has changed. I know I shouldn't judge, but the last time I knew he had a a wife and 3 kids...now he has a girlfriend who is 10 years younger than him and is doing drugs....so that makes me doubly sad for him and especially his family, perhaps I need to say "good riddance".
