Dave speaks to Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson

Wilko Johnson - The Dr Feelgood guitarist and Canvey Island legend - has had quite a couple of years.

Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2013 and given just 10 months to live, he decided to refuse to have chemo therapy - and instead come out of retirement, make an album with Roger Daltry and go on a final tour.

He'd had to come to terms with the fact that the end was near - but it turns out it wasn't as near as he thought.

Just a couple of months ago he announced surgery on his cancer meant he was now in remission.
