Barenaked Ladies lose their lead singer
Bespectacled “Barenaked Ladies” frontman Steven Page has left the group.
According to the band’s Web site, “By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies” and plans to pursue solo projects, including theatrical opportunities.
The rest of the band, Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart will continue recording and touring together as Barenaked Ladies.
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!”
The news comes several months after drug charges against Page were dropped in the U.S. Page, his girlfriend and her roommate were charged with drug possession in July after police found cocaine at a New York apartment in New York state. In late October, all three secured a deal to have charges dropped if they stayed out of trouble for six months.
The band was formed in Toronto and released 12 albums, producing hits such as “If I Had $1,000,000,” “One Week” and “Pinch Me”
