No this is not an obituary. As I'm writing this post I actually have some Wiggles songs playing in the background.
Sad sad news that Jeff Wiggle will no longer be performing with The Wiggles, in fact three out of four (thats 3/4 folks - me love maths) will retire. After more than 4000 shows and 20 years entertaining young children, and their mums (who used to be the children who watched the Wiggles) three of the original members have called it a day. The Wiggles are known internationally and release an album or three every year.
Their farewell message
I remember watching them when I was little and it was so cool that there was an Asian (Australian) on there. At nearly sixty years old (but he only looks 40), Jeff is the oldest member of the music group and I would say the most well known Asian Australian. Ever.

I have always admired Jeff. I mean, have you ever dreamed of a job where you could do jack all and still earn millions of dollars? This guy is living my dream! Who else can spend most of his working day being asleep and still get a whopping paycheck at the end of it?
He won't be replaced by an AA but I'm kind of glad because I don't think anyone would be able to fill his shoes.
All members have received an AM (Order of Australia Medal) and have also been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, and they are currently doing a farewell tour.

PS The title of this post may be corny but I'd rather use it now than when he really carks it.
