Wilko Johnson Shares His Reaction To Terminal Cancer News
. The former Dr Feelgood guitarist announced earlier this month that he has months to live. Instead of opting for chemotherapy, which will only extend his life for a few more months, he's decided to make one more album and play a series of farewell shows. Johnson tells The Times: "I had the analysis just before Christmas. I don't know if the guy was an expert in telling people bad news, but he said those words: 'You've got cancer,' and I was absolutely calm. I didn't freak out at all." He says he's been "a miserable bugger" for most of his life – but that's faded away despite the news. "I began to feel almost euphoric and the feeling hasn't worn off," he says. "I realise that all the things I usually worry about don't matter." more on this story Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
