Wilko Johnson

[A Guy Called Matt]

^{My wife has just heard on the radio that he is better and looking at going on tour again with Roger Daltey!}

^{Can't find any news stories yet though}

[A Guy Called Matt]

Radio 5 live reporting that he is saying he has been cured - they hope to talk to him later today!!!

[5co77ie]

He's at the Q Awards

[Pear_Cider]

Great news! Was gutted that he couldn't make Glastonbury this year as planned. I went up to the acoustic tent to see Dr Feelgood...thoroughly enjoyed the set, but would be great if he was to make it next year

[The Nal]

He looks great!

Ditto to all of it

[billum]

That is fantastic news - I confess when I saw the title of this thread my blood ran cold and I feared the worst, so this is really tremendous to hear.

A set from him & Rog, or even just him, even just sitting there glaring at us all, would suit me down to the ground. He's a ray of hope for all mankind.

He does it right!

[Winslow Leach]

Good grief, the man is veritable medical Rasputin. In a good way obviously, I'm just glad the fear I felt when I read the title was misplaced.

[parsonjack]

Great news indeed. I'm pretty sure he'll be nailed on...with or without Roger.

[5co77ie]

yeah my mum died from it - yet both he and Aretha Franklin have survived things are coming along with regard to the big C

[Gnomicide]

Excellent news this. Hope he gets a spec at Glastonbury next year, it would be glorious.

Johnson's operation also involved the removal of his pancreas, spleen part of his stomach, small and large intestines and the removal and reconstruction of blood vessels relating to the liver.

I do wonder how mobile that leaves him, would he be able to tour? How does he eat with his small and large intestine removed? Fascinating proceedure.

[The Nal]

That speech would nearly bring a tear to the eye. Book him Glasto!

It's a bit scary for us all, first to be told you have terminal cancer, much later to be cured!! Great news.

I am enthused to watch 'Oil City Confidential' again....

The procedure scared me when I read about it - but then if you have a choice of trying it or dieing you have to try it.

He said yesterday that he intends to tour again and is hoping him and Roger can start again where they left off.

How about a Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid for the pair of them!!

[whisty]

Lets hope he wants & gets a slot this year, will be on my and manyothers I guess must see list .

[billum]

Just imagine the roar from the crowd when he steps out on that stage... Hope it comes to pass

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Been listening to Going Back Home quite a bit last week. Here's hoping.

[5co77ie]

Wilko returns to the live stage:

[parsonjack]

Fabulous. Suddenly made the fact that the dog has chewed up our living room carpet today kind of small and unimportant.

[Mardy]

That's fucking wonderful. Just pure magic.
