(Wilko Johnson) (Dr Feelgood)

Legendary Dr. Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson is cancer free, the BBC report.

Johnson was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2012, and after refusing chemotherapy, was given ten months to live.

However, in a fortuitous turn of events, Johnson has claimed to be rid of the disease after an 11-hour operation: "This tumour weighed 3kg - that's the size of a baby... anyway, they got it all. They cured me."

The news was divulged at the Q Awards recently as he accepted the Icon Award.
