I hate this thread. Every time I see there's been a new post, I think the worst. Despite that, cheers for posting Absurdian, good to know he's still gigging.

Yes me too! Thankfully not bad news though!
A bit weird to see this as right this moment I'm listening to the new Feelgoods box set "Taking No Prisoners" featuring Gypie Mayo who has just sadly passed away in October. RIP!
Box covers all the Mayo years albums, FANTASTIC STUFF!
Not sure if any of you are aware/interested, but Wilko and Roger are doing a Q&A session at The Brewery, Chiswell Street in the City next Thursday (27th).
I got a couple of tickets for a lad in work who is a Who fanatic (goes everywhere to watch every gig) through my membership of The Times+ club (£10), but I think they are being sold by the ticket agencies as well.
Times+ members can enjoy an exclusive Q&A with Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson on February 27.
Wilko Johnson, legendary guitarist with Canvey Island pub rock pioneers Dr Feelgood, and Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock giants The Who are releasing a joint album, ‘Going Back Home’ on March 10. To celebrate the release of the album, the two musicians will be in conversation with The Times rock and pop critic, Will Hodgkinson.
The album’s roots began in 2010 when Roger and Wilko found themselves sitting together at an awards ceremony talking about raucous old school British rhythm & blues. They decided on the spot it would be a great idea to collaborate together. When, in January 2013, Wilko was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told he had just months to live he seized upon the opportunity to make the most of his time left.
Thanks for posting that. Where's there's life, there's hope.
My old Mum had a major cancer op when she was 48, involving removing two thirds of her stomach, and various other bits and pieces. She subsequently had another op which the surgeon colloquially referred to as a re-plumbing, so it sounds quite similar, but probably not so complex.
At the time of her first op, the surgeon who carried it out said that if she lived another 6 months she would have done well.

You'd have thought they would have called themselves Dr Who wouldn't you?

Having an operation that might save him

She was 87 last week.
