Story of Dr Feelgood co-founder Wilko Johnson comes to Cheltenham
Wilko: Love and Death and Rock and Roll
comes to Everyman Theatre Cheltenham from 5 - 9 August.
A name that resonates with rock music enthusiasts and beyond, Wilko Johnson, the iconic rock star and co-founder of legendary band Dr Feelgood, was told he had one year to live in 2012. Refusing all treatment, he decided to spend his last months living meaningfully: seeing the people, places and things which meant most to him during his remarkable life… until a miracle happened.
Delving deep into the life and times of this rock ‘n’ roll maverick, from his time with Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury and the Blockheads as one of the godfathers of the punk movement, to his acting career in Game of Thrones, Wilko: Love and Death and Rock and Roll blends live music, storytelling, and words from the Canvey Island legend himself, in a lesson in how to live life to the fullest.
