AUDIO: ORIGINAL WIGGLE PASSES OUT ON STAGE

Australian kiddie band “The Wiggles” reunited to perform in order to raise money for Australian bushfire relief. At the end of the show on Friday, original lead singer Greg Pace – the one in the yellow shirt – collapsed on stage, as the group were about to perform their final song “Hot Potato”. Pace, 48, had retired from the band in 2006 when he was diagnosed with orthostatic intolerance — a condition where a person is unable to stand for long periods because their body struggles to pump enough blood, which can cause fainting spells. Other band members did return to sing the song “Hot Potato,” dedicating it to Pace. Pace was last reported in serious but stable condition.
* Doctors told him he may never Wiggle again.
* But they did tell him he could squirm if he felt up to it. Or, on a good day, maybe twitch a little bit.
* He can’t stand for long periods? What a coincidence. When my kids were growing up, I couldn’t stand The Wiggles for long periods.
* Sounds like Greg Pace needs a pacemaker.
* It’s better to burn out than it is to rust, even in kids’ entertainment.
