Wiggles member Greg Page has suffered cardiac arrest during a bushfire relief concert in Sydney.
The original member of the kid’s band was transported to hospital on Friday night after he collapsed on stage at Castle Hill RSL.
“As has been reported, our friend Greg Page suffered a cardiac arrest at the end of the bushfire relief performance and was taken to hospital,” The Wiggles’ official Facebook account said during the early hours of Saturday morning.
“He has had a procedure and is now recovering in hospital. We appreciate your kind messages and concern,” wrote one fan on Facebook.
Fans were quick to flood the post with their well wishes for the 48-year-old performer.
“Thinking of Greg and all The Wiggles at this time. Greg stepped out to support others – we acknowledge his courage and compassion,” wrote one fan on Facebook.
Another added: “How terrible. Doing something out of kindness, usually the way. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.”
“Talk about putting heart and soul into a performance. You’re an absolute legend, Greg. I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care.”
Page was on stage with the original Wiggles line-up of Anthony Field, Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt when the incident occurred.
He bid farewell to the children’s band in 2006 due to health issues and later returned in 2012.
