Anthony Field, the famous Blue Wiggle, has assured his fans that he is indeed alive after a Wikipedia hoax claiming he had passed away.

If there’s one thing you don’t want to wake up to read, it’s that you’re dead. Anthony Field, 58, woke yesterday to reports that he had passed away in a Wikipedia Hoax.

“Wikipedia had me dead yesterday!!!” the Blue Wiggle shared on Instagram, “Unless I’m not up with the times, I’m still here!!”

He went on to joke, “I have died a few times on stage (you’ve seen the act!).”

Anthony Field’s Wikipedia page stated his date of death as August 15th 2021, and that “he ‘was’ an Australian musician, actor, songwriter and producer. He was best known as a leader of the children’s group The Wiggles and amember of the 1980s and 1990s pop band the Cockroaches.”

Thankfully the team at Wikipedia have fixed up his page, with Field confirming, “I’m back alive on Wikipedia now! Phew!”


Psychic Medium John Edward joked with Field, “I checked with my connections and you were no where to be found there.”

“Phew! At least it wasn’t me this time!” joked Richard Wilkins who has been announced dead in the past.

Grant Denyer’s wife, Chezzi, cheered, “Welcome back from the dead buddy!”

Thankfully Anthony is very much alive and still able to Wiggle around and entertain us.

  • My Mum once saw her name in the Death notices in the newspaper. It was a weird feeling when she called me and told me to have a look for myself.

  • That’s great news. My boys grew up with the original Wiggles and I’m sure that news of his death would have upset a lot of kids who’d grown up with them. Why must people be so cruel? Shame on them

  • Pretty sure it’s not the first time this has happened. Obviously someone did not do the proper research before publishing this

  • An absolute downside to social media is the spread of misinformation that you then need to spend a lot of time refuting. Glad to see Blue Wiggle is still alive and doing his thing, but imagine the distress to his family, his fans, etc.


    • 100% agree. I don’t understand what joy someone gets out of this

  • I just don’t get it… why would that be funny? Some people should find better things to do with their time.

  • An insensitive hoax and not even slightly amusing at anytime and particularly not during these covid times.
