The following news was officially
reported in the Southend Echo newspaper earlier today. I am very sad to
announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of
the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy. He
is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects
and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity. He
has just set off on a trip to Japan; on his return we plan to complete a
new CD, make a short tour of France, then give a series of farewell gigs in the
UK. There is also a live DVD in the pipeline, filmed on the last UK tour. Wilko
wishes to offer his sincere thanks for all the support he has had over his long
career, from those who have worked with him to, above all, those devoted
fans and admirers who have attended his live gigs, bought his recordings
and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience.
Thank you. Robert Hoy (Manager)
