Wiggles singer Greg Page has cardiac arrest at bushfire relief show

(UTV|AUSTRALIA) – Greg Page, a founding member of the popular children’s music group The Wiggles, has collapsed at a bushfire relief show in Sydney.

Page – who used to perform as the yellow Wiggle – sang on stage for an hour and a half before suffering a cardiac arrest.

The band tweeted that Page was recovering in hospital.

The Wiggles were created in 1991 and have sold tens of millions of CDs and DVDs around the world.

Page was a founding member and the original lead singer.

He retired due to ill-health in 2006, returning briefly in 2012 before leaving again. Reports in 2006 said Page had been diagnosed with orthostatic intolerance, an illness related to blood pressure.

Thursday was the singer’s 48th birthday.
