If you have small kids, this is big news. I'm sorry to hear of it. I like the Wiggles. When they had a Christmas (not holiday) special, the actually sang Christmas songs.

I am so sad for him. . .their songs/music is the best of children's entertainment. . .for kids of all ages, really. . .

It must be truly wrenching for him to have to walk away. . .and for the rest of the group, as wel..

Could be worse.

Luckily for him he made millions before he discovered that he had this condition. Now he can retire and live comfortably.

Good luck to him. My kids have been Wiggles fans for brief periods.

at least he can retire rich and comfortable. And he can probably think of other ways to entertain kids. I am glad he will take care of himself.

OK, I know this is Australia, but to an ex-USN guy, "skivvies" are underpants. And when they get yellow, it's time for the laundry.

I must be missing sumpin'... ;)

God bless him. My grandkids love the Wiggles. We even took them to a Wiggly concert.

Yeah, actually kind of peaceful getting dressed on week day mornings to their show in the background as my youngest watched them.

Hypotension, although equally serious I'm sure, sounds odd. How about more stress, more salt, more fat, and more caffiene to ratchet that pressure up - just kidding of course.

My 2 year old granddaughter won't watch any of her DVDs except the Wiggles...she dances and sings to all of their songs...(and since I hear them a hundred times a day...so do I...LOL).

This is really sad...since Greg was the main Wiggle...

Better for him to retire..than possibly die on stage in front of kids or something..

My daughter loves them, and I couldn't stand them till I saw that special.

Good stuff!

I'm surprised there isn't an effective treatment for his condition.

In terms of moneymaking artists, America had Elvis, England had the Beatles, and Australia had the Wiggles. Sucks to hear about it.

My young ones no longer watch the Wiggles, but for some time, they provided them with wholesome and fun entertainment. The yellow guy was my favorite.

Man, I love Australians.

This is very sad, my daughter loves the Wiggles. It's usually the first thing she says when she wakes up, "Watch Wiggles? Greg, Anthony, Murray and Jeff?"
I'm pretty sure the replacement has been featured as the character "Professor Singalotta Songa" or something..an opera singer on some video..I can't believe I know that..

I've taken my oldest daughter to see them in concert twice. Now my youngest is going to have to see them lest she feel slighted when she hits her teens and takes it out on me and my wife! It won't be the same without Greg though. I hate to hear this news.
