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.

Not surprised, but I am sad to hear it. I very much hope everybody involved is ok (presumptuous of me I am sure, but there you are). Hugs to all the Random folks.

Post drug arrest I was really pissed off. Now I feel like I've been punched in the stomach. Or punched in the dorsel fin, whichever you prefer.

As I'm reading this news, my husband is watching a show about R & B and its early roots. And a band, I'm not sure which, is singing, "Starting all over again is gonna be rough, but we're gonna make it." Although it is a shock, I hope that everyone, Steve-the band, comes out the other end happy and healthy and with the same spirit they have shown all along. Saying that, I can't help but feel sad.

For this to happen there has to be some major discord. and I feel slighted. I agree with flip....that we deserved a better announcement. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.
Looking back, they totally knew on the ship.
Sucks.

Whenever I read Rick's posts, I can hear his voice saying it to me outloud. Is that weird?
And poop on Steve. Darn it all anyway.

Jess nope not weird at all............I hear your voice when I read your posts too, and see you bouncing on occasion!!!
I am not sure how they should have made the announcement............not sure I like how they did it, but not sure what would have been better. I am not certain that they knew on the cruise.........perhaps that was the perverbial straw. I think if the decision had been made that Cristine would not have been able to act her part.
Now just because strange things go through my head...............will she stay with Steve since he is not the lead singer in a popular band? Sorry.................

Hmm... hard to say on that one BNLater.... Her predecessor did...
I know that when I say this, I may be stepping on pins and needles; But I don't like all these people slagging her for breaking up the Beatles. (Don't blame it on Yokey)

I wish we could all get together tonight at some restaurant/bar (or maybe a fabulous private courtyard on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean), and just talk about what we're thinking and have some WINE!!!! "Drunk on wiiiiiiiiiiiiiine... Jess's amazing..."
