Breaking... Page leaves Barenaked Ladies

The chubby dude who sings better than the rapping dude in Barenaked Ladies is out of the band. Whether or not this has to do with his cocaine bust last year remains to be seen. Also, he's working on a solo album. The remaining members of the band plan to go into the studio in April.

This really isn't helping the Barenaked Ladies' good-time, happy-go-lucky Canadian image. Back in December, they were supposedly working on a boxed set. It will now apparently serve as the epitaph for the chubby-guy singing / skinny-guy scatting Barenaked Ladies.
