Former Yellow Wiggle Greg Page update
This site gets quite a few searches for “Greg Page Wiggles sick” or “yellow Wiggle sick”, and, I guess it can be classified as “career and kids” because he’s a working parent, and, many a Wiggles DVD
According to this interview, it looks like the former Yellow Wiggle, who had to leave the popular children’s group due to a medical condition, is doing better.
Just thought you might want to know.

OK, I’ll bite. What the hell is a Wiggle? Or am I better off not knowing?

I have to admit, I have periodically wondered how Greg is doing. Even though my son is beyond the Wiggles phase, I have a certain fondness for the Wiggles since, as you said, they often gave me a break when I needed it. Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update. I have to admit I don’t enjoy the Wiggles as much with Sam. I am glad that Greg is doing better and hope he continues on a road to good health. I am hoping he puts out another adult album.
Thanks again…

I love the wiggles. I have babyat with 3 grandchildren for 7 years now and we run the Wiggles dvd’s constantly. I really miss Greg I fell he was the core of the show. Sam seems to be doing a fine job, but it will take some time to get use to him. Greg was an overpowering personality and really made the group

I do not see an answer to the first question posted here. They are a children’s singing group! Although I have never seen them, our son has something in common with Greg…dysautonomia! HIs is extremely severe, so he has hope that someone in “show bus.” might somehow be able to raise more of an awareness of this. Thanks for your work in keeping us updated. My son wants to know how he is often. I finally looked this up (on “goodsearch.com” to benefit DYNA, a support group for dysautonomia). Is Greg reaching out in any way to help raise awareness, or is he not able at this time?

I definitely agree that Greg added a special magic to The Wiggles that no one will ever be able to duplicate. Greg did a magazine interview in June, and also did a radio interview around the same time. It was wonderful to hear his voice again, and there were quite a few new pictures in the article. Greg says he is at about 80 to 85% now, and is recording a new solo CD, and as he gets even better, plans to perform live again. On his website gregpage.com, Greg posted a message about the last year and a half of his life, and how he is now coming out of the nightmare he has endured.
Joe, here is the answer to your question about Greg raising awareness for this condition: Greg has help establish with seed funding an important research project. The Greg Page Fund for Orthostatic Intolerance raises money to support research into this debilitating condition. 100% of funds raised go direct to the research conducted by the Baker Heart Institute - Greg Page does not receive any portion of, or commission, from your donation. Greg is extremely proud to be able to lend his name to this fund in order to assist in promoting awareness of this condition which affects sufferers all over the world. He hopes that by lending his name, he will be able to bring greater attention to this condition and how it affects people, but also help to raise funds which will help researchers better understand the condition and help to treat it more effectively. Please help the Baker Heart Institute with their research into O.I. and Dysautonomia. The above information has been copied from Greg’s website. Please visit it if you wish to donate, or if you wish to read more about Greg and this condition.

Where can I buy Greg’s solo cds?

Greg has five solo CDS, but only two - and about one half of another - are available at this time (on his website) due to copyright issues. He hopes to resolve this at some point. You can download the songs individually, or the entire CD, at his website http://www.gregpage.com. His last CD “Taking Care Of Country” can be purchased at Amazon or Target.
He is currently finishing a follow up Cd to the “Country” CD, but no release date has been set.
There are three titles under a “coming soon” section on his website, and it is hoped that these
refer to DVDS of his solo concerts in Las Vegas and Nashville.
You can occasionally find Greg’s CDS on ebay, but they go for a lot of money. I’ve seen them range from $150.00 to over $300.00. In fact, a CD on which Greg only sang back up was sold a few days ago for $208.00. A program book from his Vegas concerts was auctioned for $320.00 last month. Someone is certainly making a profit off Greg.
On July 22, Greg did his first T.V. interview since he retired. It was so good to finally see, and hear him, after all this time. If anyone is interested, it can be found at http://9am.ten.com.au go to the video section and put Greg Page in the search bar to bring up the video.
Hope this helps. Greg’s voice is one-of-a-kind, and I am so happy that I have all of his CDS, and that I was lucky enough to purchase them from him years ago. They are fabulous!!

I miss and think about Greg Page Wiggle everyday. My 2-year-old grand nephew watches him daily several times a day. Our DVR is full of the Wiggles show, and we’ve even bought the DVDs so he can watch at the day care. I hope Greg is well. But we’ve got tickets to the Wiggles concert next Wednesday, and needless to say, the yellow Wiggle, Greg Wiggle will be missed.
