The singer and guitarist Steven Page has left the Barenaked Ladies. The news comes several months after drug charges against Page were dropped in the United States. His arrest came after the band, known for its clean-cut image and whimsical lyrics, released an album of children's songs titled "Snacktime." The band's Web site said that Page will pursue solo projects, including theatrical opportunities. "We've grown up together over the past 20 years," Page said, referring to the other members of the band. "I love them and wish them all the best in the future." The band was formed in Toronto and released 12 albums, producing hits such as "If I Had $1,000,000," "Brian Wilson" and "Too Little, Too Late." (AP)

The rest of the band is continuing on without him, and Page is doing solo stuff. It ain't quite over yet!

They probably kicked him out.

The way both Page and his ex-bandmate Ed Robertson have talked about it in interviews, the split was mutual.
