Cracking footage....

Stop...Hammertime
That's sad, I'm more familiar with him through Game of Thrones, and his character is important later on.

Flippin 'eck that is sad, I remember seeing him will Dr Feelgood, the lead singer died of cancer also.

Now I just have my toy soldiers
It was posted up on twitter earlier on today. Sad news. I really think that in later life his reputation has been massively enhanced by Julien Temple's Oil City Confidential which is, arguably, one of greatest music documentaries of all time.

Yep, i ageree. A brilliant curator, hilarious storyteller and someone i think lee and the others could be, and are, proud of.
Oh fuck
I think he's brilliant, absolute legend. He's always the centre of focus for me when I watch their old gigs, in fact I think everyone is probably looking at him. He always had the biggest stage presence. One of those people I just like to see!
Nearly choked on me own tongue when I spotted him in Game of Thrones as the silent executioner Ser Payne. He was perfect for the role with his eyes and height.
Terminal does not mean he is going to die though so I'll wish him strength instead.

He was the stage, the way he holds his guitar down to his facial expressions. He was the stage, everyone was focussed on him. Too young to have seen him back in the day but I have watched all the good quality videos on YT a dozen times.
I am not a big Temple fan but that is good!

Changing the facts
Just seen this on fb, couldn't see another thread.
Sad news indeed.
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 of reasonable health and activity.
He has just set off on a trip to Japan; on his return we plan to complete a new CD, make a short tour of France, then give a series of farewell gigs in the UK. There is also a live DVD in the pipeline, filmed on the last UK tour.
Wilko wishes to offer his sincere thanks for all the support he has had over his long career, from those who have worked with him to, above all, those devoted fans and admirers who have attended
his live gigs, bought his recordings and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience.
Thank you.

No pasaran!
Gutted. I saw him back in '78 after he left the Feelgoods. Top guitarist, top bloke.

Lost in the wood
Shame - I saw him solo about 20 years ago - manic gurning and machine-gunning the audience with his guitar. Have nicked plenty of good riffs off him as well. Hope he is in better health than the prognosis suggests (stranger things have happened..)
