RIP Wilko Johnson, Ex guitarist of Dr Feelgood, Ian Drury and the Blockheads, Solo artist, raconteur and actor in Game of Thrones. Quite a guy, a real one off and a fantastic guitarist. Was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2012 and told he had a year to live.. medical intervention (which he initially refused) and his amazingly strong Will to continue making music (his last gig was a month before his death) gave him 10 more years.

This one hits close to home. Back in the late 70's and through to the mid 80's BUSKER (listed on PA) shared a manager with Helix. Both our bands were on the road when one of their original guitarists, Paul Hackman, was killed. Their tour van went over an embankment while touring out west in the early winter. But this...I'm at a loss for words. London is my hometown. |

What a voice! Saw them live n Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens back in the early 80's. Sadly there were a lot of empty seats.

About 1/2 hour before I left work today my MP3 player (with 1700 songs on it) played Silver Dollar Forger. I'm thinking Rampant might be my favourite album by them, with Razamanaz and Hair of the Dog following close by.

Really sad news, knew his health had been poor for a few years.. what a F***ing great singer and frontman!! Along with Alex Harvey and Roger Chapman he was one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in Rock to come out of these Isles! Will take a dram and spin Hair of the Dog in his honour!

Is this confirmed? It was announced earlier in the week, but his representatives said he was still alive.
Never mind. I am seeing this on all my other news feeds so it apparently is true this time. Edited by rushfan4 - October 28 2022 at 11:35 |
