Wilko Johnson Cancels Shows

Wilko Johnson was forced to cancel his latest two hometown shows at Canvey Island due to health reasons.

The guitarist, who’s winding up his farewell tour after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, apologised to fans for the late notice. An official statement from management is to be released shortly. Johnson aims to complete work on a final album and live DVD before his illness renders him incapable of working.

No further details are available at the moment on whether the cancelled shows will be rescheduled.
