The 48-year-old, one of the founding members of the huge children’s entertainment group, had to be revived and underwent surgery after collapsing on stage.
Page, who suffers from circulatory system disorder, stumbled and collapsed onstage at the Castle Hill RSL in Sydney on Friday night.
The Wiggles were performing the first of two bushfire relief benefit concerts at the time of his collapse.
His life was only saved by off-duty nurse Grace Jones, who performed CPR on Mr Page for 20 minutes, before paramedics arrived.
Mr Page left the Wiggles in 2006 after being diagnosed with dysautonomia — a disease which causes nervous system malfunctions relating to blood flow.
