As the original Red Wiggle, Murray Cook entertained countless preschool kids across the globe – and helped give their tired parents a bit of respite in the process!
But in 2012, after more than two decades with The Wiggles, the guitarist decided to hang up his skivvy. Now, Murray tells New Idea the decision was far from an easy one.
“I was pretty lost there for a while,” the 60-year-old tells. “There was a bit of grief and there were times when I’d question whether I’d done the right thing. But then I’d just go back to the reasons why I did it. I know it was the right decision.”
Having founded the musical juggernaut back in 1991 – alongside Anthony Field, Greg Page and Jeff Fatt – Murray says it was the relentless touring that did him in, in the end.
