In a statement to fans they wrote, “G’day everyone! After 21 amazing years, today we are announcing that 2012 will be our final year of touring together. Jeff, Murray and Greg have decided that it is time to step off stage and hand over the Purple, Red and Yellow skivvies to a new generation of Wiggles. Next week we embark on an amazing Celebration World tour commencing in Singapore, then travelling to the UK, USA, New Zealand and Canada that will culminate in our arena tour in Australia in November and December!”
