The show was a highly anticipated event as it featured the original Wiggles band members.
The show was also available for Livestream for eager fans who were unable to attend the soldout performance.
However, as the concert was ending, Greg collapsed off stage.
This is not the first time Page's health has been at center stage.
It was revealed in 2006 that Page had been diagnosed with orthostatic intolerance, an illness that affects blood pressure.
Page retired from The Wiggles that year due to his declining health.
The Wiggles official Twitter account released the following statement:
They later confirmed 48-year-old Page went into cardiac arrest and is currently recovering in the hospital.
