Donnyboy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It was great seeing him with Madness on the BBC thing on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 He didn't look so good with Madness the other night outside the Beeb, maybe that nasty cold & rain has knocked him back a bit, poxy weather. Big respect for him & very best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) We were only talking about him at the Cardiff bass bash yesterday. Good on him for going out with a bang though. Hope he's coping with his illness. Edited March 24, 2013 by SpaceChick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Stu Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've all the time in the world for any muso who's stamped their mark in the business & Wilco did that big-time. Reading about him closing with Bye Bye Johnny brought a lump to my thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yepmop Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1364152093' post='2022591'] If there is an afterlife, I hope it's fairer than this one. [/quote] Amen to that. Loads of respect for Wilko, best wishes mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I saw him in Sheffield earlier this year and he played a blinder. What could have been going through the guys head at the time, no-one knows. An original. And massively influential. I hope you've enjoyed the ride, Wilko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12stringbassist Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 A one-off. We won't see his like again and we were lucky to have him. God bless, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I wondered if something like this might happen when I first heard the news of his farewell tour. Very sad, but there can be no doubt he has gone out fighting and playing. Total respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nothing much to add really... I brought a tear to my eye seeing him get up and play at that Madness concert on Friday night, particularly when I had to explain to the Mrs why I was getting a bit 'emotional'. He looked so happy and carefree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
