"RIP Anthony Field, best known for his escapades with The Wiggles. The world is certainly feeling blue today 1963 — 2021," read the headline on the page, which was posted alongside Field's photo.

The 58-year-old found the funny in the situation and reposted the photo on his Twitter account.

"I'm dead again!!!" he joked.

This is the second time this year Field has had to reassure fans he's still alive and well. Back in August, his Wikipedia bio wrongly stated he had passed away.
