For those of you with young children, this is potentially devastating news.
The hugely popular children’s group The Wiggles is expected this week to announce the departure of its lead singer because of a serious illness, media reports said Wednesday.
[...]
The reports said the group was likely to announce the departure of the “Yellow Wiggle,” Greg Page, who has been frequently absent from touring since undergoing a double hernia operation in December.
The 34-year-old known for his bright yellow T-shirt has been undergoing medical treatment since June after experiencing fainting spells and lethargy, the reports said.
My oldest son dressed as Greg Wiggle this year for Halloween, complete with yellow shirt, magic hat, rabbit and wand (Greg is the Wiggle who wants to be a magician). Luckily, my son is only three, and with subtle prodding from Mommy and Daddy will only “remember” either a three-man group or the equivalent of Darrin being replaced on Bewitched.
In any case, Godspeed, Greg. We wish you well.
P.S. For those of you who have no idea what this is all about, see here, and ponder this factoid:
The Wiggles were Australia’s top-earning entertainers last year, ahead of No. 2 AC/DC and No. 3 Nicole Kidman.

Used to watch them all the time until we nixed the special calbe channels, along with Disney.
My older son’s fav was Rolly Pollie.
