CareerEdit

He met Anthony and Murray A few years before the Wiggles began when they were Early Education students at Macquarie University, and combined their music backgrounds and teaching skills to form The Wiggles. When performing with The Wiggles, Page wore a yellow shirt. Like the other Wiggles, Page had a schtick, which was doing magic tricks.

Influenced by his bandmate Anthony Field, Page is a fan of Elvis Presley.

His 2005 solo album, "Taking Care of Country", reflects Page's interest in Elvis Presley's music. It was recorded with the TCB Band, Elvis' back-up band. In spring 2003, Page performed in Las Vegas with the TCB Band. In 2002, Page sang back-up with Australian Elvis impersonator Mick Gerace. Page has accumulated an extensive collection of Elvis memorabilia, including the last Cadillac owned by Elvis, his personal and movie clothing, and original TCB Band.

MarrageEdit

Greg was married to a lady named Michelle in 1996 and had 2 children who are Madison and Blaine.

On January 17, 2008 he broke up with Michelle and a year later he married another lady named Vanessa and had a baby girl named Lara.

Ilness and RetirementEdit

Page had experienced health difficulties since December 2005, at 33 when he underwent a double hernia operation and withdrew from his group's U.S. tour after suffering repeated fainting spells, slurred speech, fatigue, and trembling. Although Page was missing for virtually all of the late 2006 U.S. tour, audiences were informed of Page's absence at concerts moments before the curtain went up. At first, Page was told that he had seven years to live, but he was diagnosed with a non-life-threatening and difficult to diagnose chronic illness called orthostatic intolerance, which causes symptoms such as fatigue and loss of balance. Specialists believed that Page had mild episodes of the illness going back twelve years, but symptoms worsened after his hernias. It was decided that Page would step back from performing with The Wiggles to better manage his health. In the months following the announcement of Page's retirement, he received an overwhelming outpouring of public support. He reported that it took his parents six months to answer to the mountains of emails.

Return with The WigglesEdit

On the 18 January of 2012, The Wiggles announced that Page had regained his health and was returning to his role as the Yellow Wiggle. It was reported that he would return to full-time touring with the group later that year.
