Wilko Johnson has died aged 75, a statement on an official Facebook page for the musician said.

The Dr Feelgood star had previously been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but said in an interview with The Northern Echo in 2019: “It seems very unjust but I’m in the clear and feeling pretty healthy other than I’m missing a pancreas but apart from that I’m really fit”.
