\u201cAs has been reported, our friend Greg Page suffered a cardiac arrest at the end of the bushfire relief performance and was taken to hospital. <\/em>\n\n\u201cHe has had a procedure and is now recovering in hospital. We appreciate your kind messages and concern.\u201d<\/em><\/blockquote>\nThe Wiggles\u2019 management has confirmed to 9News<\/em> that a defibrillator was used three times on Page.\n\nThe Wiggles have since posted on social media that Greg is recovering and that his main priority is for the show to go on.\n
