The singer, who was arrested for cocaine possession last year, described his former bandmates as "my brothers".
"By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies," said a statement on the group's website.
"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 added: "These guys are my brothers. We’ve grown up together over the past 20 years. I love them and wish them all the best in the future."
The band released an album of children's music in 2008 entitled Snacktime. They reached the UK top five with their single 'One Week' in February 1999.
