Wilko Johnson dies at 75

[johncorrigan]

Sad to see that Wilko Johnson has died. He was a truly inspirational figure these last few years after his terminal cancer diagnosis ten years ago. Dr Feelgood were hard to beat, but he also acted and the documentaries he appeared in were always full of humour.

Ah, a big loss. Amazing guy. I think I still have my copy of, "Stupidity", somewhere - a great favourite, especially played loud. RIP, Wilko

Very sad news. An amazing guy.
Here's Wilko on 'Dury Service':

He put up a great fight, and achieved and inspired a great deal, both in those later years, and in earlier times.

He’ll be a big miss.

Saw him quite a few times, and with Norm on bass, they were quite a thing to see and hear.
