Wiggles lead singer leaves

Yes it is sad but I think that Greg has made the best decision not only for himself but for the Wiggles. At least his replacement has been a backup for many years, and is at least known a little to the young ones. Good luck in retirement Greg, and hopefully once some of the pressure is off you might have a bit better life.

I can't stand the wiggles. They are very annoying. I don't understand how kids love them, barney and the others. They drive me nuts.

that is sad my daughter loves that show . was the info on the news or what how did u hear about thanks for telling us

My daughter and nephews will be very heartbroken when they don't see their favorite singer. I guess it will be awkward at first, but eventually they will start to like them. Thanks for giving us heads up. Now, I can take some time to explain to my little ones why Greg is not there anymore.

what i didnt know that that is sad i hope he is well i think kids who r just starting to watch it wont notice but the kids who watch it will notice but wont care

Very Sad, I hope the rest of his life is a wiggle party and Hoop-Dee-Doo! Yes, he will be missed.

Honestly, I can't say it's really going to affect me. I've never really liked the Wiggles. Honestly they just annoyed me. It's sad that he has to leave because of a medical condition, but it doesn't affect me.

Eh! Im sorry to hear that! I have a 2 year old and the Wiggles are something he watches everyday! We will miss him here

my kids loved the Wiggles.. I don;t think it is a heart condition SYDNEY, Australia -- The lead singer of the hugely popular children's group The Wiggles announced Thursday he will stop performing after being diagnosed with a chronic condition that causes dizziness, fatigue and nausea. In a video-recorded statement, Greg Page said a little-understood disorder called orthostatic intolerance had left him debilitated. "It's not a life-threatening condition by any means, but it is one that's going to be with me for the rest of my life," said Page, 34, who is known for bright yellow T-shirt. "It means that I'll no longer be able to sing and dance as I want to, and as a result I've decided to stop performing with The Wiggles." Page, who helped found The Wiggles in 1991, handed his yellow T-shirt over to his understudy, Sam Moran, who has been performing with the group for more than a decade as a backup singer and dancer. "I'll miss being a part of The Wiggles very much, but this is the right decision because it will allow me to focus on managing my health," Page said. Page has been battling health troubles since undergoing a double hernia operation last December. He withdrew from the group's U.S. tour in June after suffering repeated fainting spells and bouts of lethargy. His fellow band members said they were sad and disappointed by the news at a media conference in the western city of Perth, where they were set to launch an Australian tour. "It's very surreal that Greg's not going to be with us, very sad," said Blue Wiggle Anthony Field. "I know Greg loved doing the shows, it's just that he can't physically do it anymore." However, Red Wiggle Murray Cook said he didn't think too many kids would notice the change. "Children tend to center on one thing so if he's wearing the yellow skivvy (shirt), he's got black hair _ he's pretty much Greg," he said. Field, Page and Cook met while studying early childhood education at Sydney's Macquarie University. They enlisted their fourth member, Purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt, and The Wiggles were born. The group was rated by weekly business magazine, BRW, as Australia's top-earning entertainer last year, ahead of actors Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe. The four men in brightly colored T-shirts, accompanied by a cast of characters including Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog, grossed $39 million last year. The group has franchised its enormously popular recipe to several non-English speaking countries, including Taiwan. ___ On the Net:

My son and I are upset that Greg is leaving Wiggles. I agree it would never be the same without Greg. However, we all wish him well.

I had'nt heard that! That is so sad! My son really likes the Wiggles. It's good though, that he is so young he probably won't even realize that they made a switch. I hope that everything turns out okay for him!

I bet a lot of kids will miss him, I know my neice just loves that show and I'm sure she'll notice that he's missing.
