The Wiggles… what have I been missing??

by SP on November 30th, 2006

Let's WiggleMost of you know that my kids are pretty much grown up now, so this morning when I began to see all the headlines about Greg Page and the Wiggles, I had to go and see what they were all about. My kids grew up on Mr. Rogers and Mr. Dressup, but from what I have read, I have a feeling that they would have loved the Wiggles just as much.

So, it is with some sadness that I read about Greg. On a positive side, he can be proud of all the joy that he brought into the lives of children world wide. So, just in case you are a little in the dark about the Wiggles, here’s what I found out…

“The frontman of one of Australia’s most successful entertainers, children’s group The Wiggles, quit on Thursday to battle a rare illness.

Greg Page, the magician and Yellow Wiggle in the popular fluorescent-clad foursome, suffers from orthostatic intolerance, a disorder which stops his heart from pumping enough blood while standing or dancing.

“I’ll miss being a part of The Wiggles very much, but it’s the right decision because it will allow me to focus on managing my health,” Page, 34, told reporters from Perth, where the group is on tour. He had been with the group since its 1990 debut.”

Take care of yourself Greg!
