WILKO JOHNSON – IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy.

He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months

Cancer is a truly awful illness and claims far too many lives each and every year. I only hope that Wilko doesn't suffer too greatly.

That is terrible news Nick. Wilko is one of the most distinctive guitarists in the UK with his own, very individual way of spanking the plank. It's ironic that he's been diagnosed with cancer as that was what did Lee Brilleaux in as well. I share Kingley's sentiment that he does not suffer. Here's a clip of the man in action....check out his playing style!!
