Original Wiggles member Greg Page collapsed and went into cardiac arrest at a bushfire relief concert in Sydney on Friday night.
The original Yellow Wiggle was taken to Westmead hospital after falling to the ground as he left the stage at Castle Hill RSL. He is now recovering following surgery for a coronary occlusion.
Paramedics said Page, 48, was alive because of the actions of an off-duty nurse who was attending the concert and jumped on stage to assist, using the RSL’s defibrillator and leading resuscitation efforts.
“He was out for 20 minutes,” the woman, named Grace, told reporters on Saturday. “We gave him three shocks [with the defibrillator]. I took charge. I did not mean to, but I did. I walked in and I think I was the only one there who had any training, first aid training. So I just started to do what I do at work.”
A paramedic from Ambulance New South Wales who responded to the triple-0 call said Grace saved Page’s life.
“When I was on stage and Greg was stabilised I asked who the person who used the defibrillator was, and Grace anxiously stepped forward,” he said. “I told she needed to be congratulated because she had saved the man’s life. She did an extraordinary job and it was only through her efforts, and those who also performed CPR, that Greg is alive.”
The group’s manager, Paul Field, said Page was expected to be in hospital for some time.
“He was in such a serious way last night,” he told Channel Seven. “He needed CPR, we had two of our cast and crew working on him. They used a defibrillator on him three times. He was in a bad way.
“The ambulance took him [to Westmead hospital]. I was so relieved that the blood was back in his face, he was talking, he was quite groggy. It was overwhelming relief.”

We’ve visited Greg this morning & he wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes. He’s so grateful for the messages of love & support from? around the world. Greg’s main concern was that the show tonight should go on.? Let’s do it for Greg whilst raising much needed funds

If those guys won’t suck it I’d bet they will wallow it around in their mouths for a little while.

Probably had to beat the groupy moms off with the feather sword.

If you have kids you probably know who the wiggles are. Hope to see him driving that big red car again soon!

They were lucky that nurse was there to use the defibrillator. Until she did, Jeff just stood over him yelling “Wake up, Greg!” because that always worked on him.

Stay Woke: Jeff has a huge heroin addiction which is why he always falls asleep.

Not sure I want to live in a world where each and every Wiggle isn't safe and sound.
