Greg Page will always be synonymous with the children's supergroup, The Wiggles, and is forever imprinted in our memory banks as the original 'Yellow Wiggle'. Sadly, though, in 2006 Greg was forced to walk away from his stellar career, unable to continue because of a mystery illness. Leaving The Wiggles was a painful and life-altering decision. As a founding member he had devoted over fifteen years to their creation and was instrumental in their phenomenal worldwide success. It took years for Greg's condition - Orthostatic Intolerance - to be correctly diagnosed, which often saw him suffering from bouts of acute dizziness that left him unable to stand, speak or think without great difficulty. The lack of a diagnosis also left him suffering from depression; a frustrating and disillusioning experience for someone who had always led such an active life, performing on a daily basis. Now correctly diagnosed and medicated (and with a healthy dose of inspiration from Elvis), Greg is concentrating on getting back to his first love - music.

Review Louise, Berkelouw Dee Why.
One thing is for sure…. This is no Keith Richards biography. I’ve often wondered if Greg Wiggle could be as squeaky clean as his image. The short answer is “yes”. This music biography contains no drugs, no sex, and alcohol consumed only in sensible quantities, and even then, only later in life. Having said all that, Greg Page, the Yellow Wiggle, certainly has a story to tell. From stardom and riches to debilitating illness and depression, followed by loss of fortune then finally finding peace and happiness, Greg Page has been on a huge emotional and spiritual journey. He is happy to share the life-advice gathered on that journey with you. Written in a very chatty style, this book is inexplicably readable. It covers Greg’s early days as the roadie for 80’s power pop band The Cockroaches, the formation of The Wiggles, their steady rise to success and all that has come after. After you read this book you will feel that you know Greg personally. He is evidently a lovely person, a self-confessed ultra-conservative, even a bit of a dag, but he makes no apologies for always being true to himself and those around him.
