Wilko has been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas but is vowing to heroically carry on touringmore on this story soon. The 67-year-old was initially given 10 months to live. He told the show's presenter John Wilson, "The things that used to bring me down, or worry me, or annoy me, they don't matter anymore - and that's when you sit thinking 'Wow, why didn't I work this out before? Why didn't I work out before that it's just the moment you're in that matters?'" Former Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson has said he has been 'cured' of the terminal pancreatic cancer with which he was diagnosed in 2012. Wilko gave an insightful interview into his life and condition, speaking of the strange sense of "euphoria" that came with his diagnosis, something which wiped away the bouts of depression he had been struggling with prior to his diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer. Wilko Johnson has revealed that his recent cancer diagnosis, for which he has refused treatment, has made him "feel vividly alive" during an interview with BBC Radio 4's Front Row programme, which airs tonight at 7.15pm.
