Wilko with Charlie Chan yesterday: Wilko quips "that man saved my life ..." Heartwarming stuff.
Wilko news: We just had to share this heartening update from the inimitable Charles Shaar Murray. As you can imagine, Wilko's still got a long way to go, but he's in good spirits and we must reiterate CSM's last line - he really does appreciate all the positive vibes. Thanks Charles, and thank you one and all.
Yesterday: a lovely Sunday afternoon by the seaside ... to be precise, hanging out with Wilko Johnson and a bunch of his mates, including the inimitable Norman Watt-Roy, Wilk's manager Lisa Climie, his saviour cancer specialist/ace photographer Charlie Chan (yep, that really is his name and yep, he's heard ALL the jokes at least 100 times each so he doesn't need to hear any of them again, ever), the splendiferous Anna Chen and several other lovely peeps. Festivities included an epic Chinese meal, during which everybody ate until it hurt and everybody who wasn't driving drank until their back teeth floated. Wilk's still in the comparatively early stages of recovery from his MASSIVE life-saving surgery, but he's in good spirits (though he's no longer drinking any), working hard to rebuild strength and stamina, itching to resume maltreating Telecasters in public and even speculating on returning to Game of Thrones once Ser Ilyn Payne is no longer ill in pain and he's strong enough to wield the Big Sword once more. And he thanks all y'all for the good vibes.
