Gregory John Page, AM (born 16 January 1972) is an Australian singer, musician and actor, best known for being the original lead singer of the children's band The Wiggles from 1991 to 2006 and again in 2012. Since 1998, Page has recorded seven solo albums.
Since the mid-2000s, Page has suffered from severe health problems, which caused his early departure from the Wiggles and brief retirement in 2006; his album Let It Be Me, began production in 2004, but was postponed until 2012 due to his health conditions.
Since returning from retirement in 2009, Page has resumed performing live on stage. In 2012 he rejoined Wiggles as lead singer for their final celebration tour.
Since 2016, Page has continued to reprise his role as Yellow Wiggle for numerous guest appearances including reunion shows, charity events and featured guest spots while occasionally filling in as an understudy performing on stage alongside current members of the group.
After suffering a cardiac arrest during a 2020 reunion concert for bushfire relief, Page has become a prominent advocate for heart health and has founded the charity Heart of the Nation, which focuses on CPR and increasing public accessibility to automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
