Steven Page, lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies, is leaving the band. Word is this is a mutual agreement between all band members. The band is returning to the studio, minus Steven, to record a new album this coming April and plan to tour in the Fall.
Steven is quoted saying "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 and Ed Robertson of the band is quoted saying "It's the start of a new chapter for all of us. Here's to the future!"
Steven is reported to be pursuing theatre projects in addition to some solo stuff. Wow, I wonder if this has anything to do with the "incident" last year?
Not a fan, but this really did surprise me.
