Barenaked singer in plane crash

Robertson earned his pilot's licence a few years ago

The lead singer of Canadian pop band Barenaked Ladies has survived a plane crash in Ontario.

Ed Robertson was one of four people who survived when his private Cessna 206 float plane - a type of sea plane - crashed on Sunday afternoon.

The band's manager, Adam Smith, said in a statement that all the passengers were fine.

A spokeswoman for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said they were investigating the crash.

Robertson co-founded Barenaked Ladies with Steven Page in 1988, in Ontario.

They are best known for their songs If I Had A Million Dollars and One Week, which reached number five in the UK in 1998.
