Game of Thronesissa Ser Ilyn Paynea kahdella kaudella näytellyt, vuonna 1971 perustetun Dr. Feelgood -rokkibändin kitaristi Wilko Johnson on kuollut 75-vuotiaana.
Johnson perusti The Wilko Johnson Bandin Dr. Feelgoodin hajoamisen jälkeen.
Johnsonilla oli ollut jo pidempään terveyshuolia. Hänellä diagnosoitiin kymmenen vuotta sitten terminaalivaiheen haimasyöpä, mutta kitaristi kieltäytyi kemoterapiasta, koska halusi lähteä jäähyväiskiertueelle. Myöhemmin selvisi, että hänen syöpänsä oli harvinaisempaa eikä niin aggressiivista sorttia. Johnson joutui kuitenkin leikkaukseen. Häneltä poistettiin haima, perna sekä osia mahasta ja suolistosta.
Lepää rauhassa, Wilko.
Alla muusikoiden muisteloita Twitteristä poimittuna.

I’m sad to hear today of the passing of Wilko Johnson, the Dr Feelgood guitarist and singer/songwriter.
I saw Wilko perform at Koko in Camden in May 2013 and the atmosphere was electric. This show was originally billed as his farewell tour pic.twitter.com/M1sQIEe4mm

Very sad to hear Wilko Johnson has died. His unique, wired playing & stage presence thrilled & inspired many guitarists, myself included. When I interviewed him a few years ago, he was bright, thoughtful & an astonishing story teller. His presence will be felt for many more years pic.twitter.com/x6ZzQWojXp
