Last updated:

The Yellow Wiggle is back. The original lead singer of the world-famous preschool entertainment band The Wiggles has made a surprise return, five years after he left the group because of illness.

Greg Page announced yesterday he is immediately rejoining founding members Anthony Field (Blue Wiggle), Murray Cook (Red Wiggle) and Jeff Fatt (Purple Wiggle) to produce new CDs and DVDs before touring Australia, the US and Britain beginning in March.

"I'm feeling great and looking forward to doing what I love," he said.

A rare nervous system disorder, dysautonomia, forced Page to retire in 2006.

Page, Field and Cook had studied early childhood education before they founded The Wiggles in 1991. The band has sold more than 23 million DVDs and 7 million CDs worldwide, according to The Wiggles' website.
