Great musician. I loved watching the Blockheads. All the best to you Wilko.

It's not a flag, it's a duvet cover and it's not on his bed, it's on Dean Thomas' bed.
This information comes from my daughter by the way, not me, honest :wink:

I couldn't believe it when I found out he was in Game of Thrones. It was one of those things that bugs you when you see a face and think "I know you from somewhere".

I have a mutual friend of Wilco's who is also in the music business, said he told him about it a few weeks back, I was gutted, as have met him many times, really nice guy, Still he is going to continue with his dates, including an doing an extra night in Sheffield Greystones next month as tickets were sold out BEFORE this news broke. That I think just goes to show the character of the man

Keep on rockin' Wilko...


Just miserable news. Down by the Jetty was the first album I loaded onto my iPod, very symbolic. Just love him

Terrible news

A great musician, and one of those rare guitarists who had a unique style of his own, whose influence you hear cropping up all over the place

Very sad indeed

Comes from a mate of mine, Spike T Smith, who has been his drummer on several occasions.


Blimey, small world, I used to know Spike, it was years ago though when he was playing with the English Dogs. My ex-girlfriend's brother was a good mate of his. I'll have to dig out that Wardance LP and give it another listen.

Really hope there is an effort to get #WilkoJohnson No.1 in the charts with any final single he releases

Small world indeed. Actually Ive not seen Spike for a couple of years, Im closer to Gizz who was also a member of English Dogs. In fact I shared a houese with the bloke for a couple of years and he now lives just up the road from me.

Did some great stuff with the Prodigy as well.

And Foo Fighters
