Wilko Johnson's management have confirmed that he is continuing his recovery at home following surgery last month. The former Dr. Feelgood guitarist underwent a procedure to remove a a neuroendocrine tumour at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2012.
"We're sure you will be as delighted as we are that after making excellent progress at Addenbrooke's over the last few weeks, Wilko is now convalescing back at his home. Naturally after such an extensive procedure, Wilko is extremely tired, and it will take him some time to recuperate, so he asks that you respect his privacy, but we had to share this incredibly positive news.
"On behalf of Wilko and his family, another huge thank you for your magnificent support over recent months - it really means a great deal to Wilko - and please join us in thanking the staff at Addenbrooke's for everything they have achieved in some extremely difficult circumstances."
Johnson released ‘Going Back Home’, a collaboration with Roger Daltrey, frontman of the Who, back in March and was recently presented with a silver disc for the record during his hospital stay.
