Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
He did have a good late run, I think he was given 1 year to live 10 odd years ago and embarked on a final tour before going treatment/remission.

He had radically surgery which appeared to cure his terminal pancreatic cancer. Releasing an album with Roger Daltrey just before that worked.
He really had the most unique style of playing
- you can see it, know what he's doing and still never quite recreate it. Utterly distinctive huge monster of a sound.
And he chopped off Ned Stark's head.
