Popular children's entertainers The Wiggles will announce changes to their line-up tomorrow amid growing concerns over the health of Yellow Wiggle Greg Page.
The Wiggles have scheduled a ''major announcement'' in Perth tomorrow ahead of the start of their new national tour.

It follows reports of a mystery illness suffered by Page, 34, who has been undergoing medical examinations since June after experiencing bouts of fainting and lethargy.

Like the end of an era has come to pass.
(Thanks for the heads up Clare.)

That really does make me sad. It will not be the same with out Greg.
Poor Greg:( It's like trying to replace a Beatle or Freddy Mercury. It's just not right...
It's really tough because he's the lead singer. Greg is the man. Regardless, I hope he is able to get the rest he needs and gets better soon.
