GREG PAGE LEAVES THE WIGGLES

The Wiggles have sadly announced today that Greg Page, also known as the Yellow Wiggle, is unable to continue performing with The Wiggles due to a chronic condition and has reached the decision to leave the group.Greg has been suffering symptoms for many months, affecting his ability to perform. The condition is related to blood pressure and while in no way life threatening it affects his balance, breathing and coordination at unpredictable times and with varying severity. Greg has discovered he is genetically predisposed to this condition and that he now needs to focus on managing his health.Greg is a founding member of The Wiggles and has devoted 15 years to the group. The whole band, crew, and all Wiggles staff, have expressed their sadness and their wishes for Greg to overcome his health problems.

I heard this on the news last night, and just about freaked out.

This is probably the biggest kid story since Joe replaced Steve on Blue's Clues!

I find it interesting that instead of adding a new wiggle, they are going to just have his understudy assume the role as the "yellow wiggle" - it should be interesting to see how this all works.

We're such losers - I had the same response. OMG it's just as bad as when Steve left. What a dork.

Yeah, I'm skeptical about Sam the new yellow wiggle. Why not introduce a new Green Wiggle and retire Greg's jersey? I'm waiting to see what happens...

They already retired green - sort of. Anthony used to be green, but when they introduced Dorthy the Dinosaur, they switched him to blue because Dorthy is green.

So, who's the Wiggles fag now?
