Anthony Field, the Blue Wiggle, Reveals He Was Diagnosed with ADHD at Age 61. How It Changed His Life (Exclusive)


The Wiggles' Anthony Field opens up to PEOPLE about his mental health journey — and reveals he was diagnosed with ADHD at the start of the year.

Field credits his progress to "the doctors and therapy and supportive family" — but what "really helps" is making music and surrounding himself with positive people. Though Field is the only remaining founding member — the original lineup included Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page — he has no plans to retire. "I've asked Simon, who's been Wiggle now for 13 years, I think, 'Simon, if one day comes that I'm not with it, and I don't know, tap me on the shoulder and it might be time to go then,'" Field concludes.
