Cancelled!

As we told you earlier this week, the singer from the ’90s band Barenaked Ladies, Steven Page, was arrested in New York last Friday and charged with fourth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.

The substance is said to be cocaine.

To that, the Barenaked Ladies’ manager had said, “We├óΓé¼Γäóre confident Steven will be exonerated of the charges. In the meantime it├óΓé¼Γäós business as usual.├óΓé¼┬¥

Even their official website had stated, “Steven has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and the validity of the charges against Steven will be strongly contested. While this is happening, it’s business as usual for Barenaked Ladies. We will continue to perform and look forward to heading into the studio later this year to record a new album. ”

Well, it seems things aren’t looking too good for the singer.

In fact, according to their updated official site now, they’ve already started to cancel shows.

It says, “Update to our fans on the Disney Music Block Party Shows. Barenaked Ladies Manager Terry McBride announced today that the band has chosen to cancel its appearances at the Disney Music Block Party planned for late August in Long Island.”

The group released a kids album earlier this year.

“Members of the band completely support Steven Page,├óΓé¼┬¥ said McBride, ├óΓé¼┼ôbut we don├óΓé¼Γäót want to put Disney in an awkward position before issues involving Steven├óΓé¼Γäós arrest are resolved.├óΓé¼┬¥

So thanks to Page and his reported drug use, now his band is suffering as well.

Time to find a new lead singer!
