Wilko Johnson interviewed at Lakefest
He was given just months to live and was told to "rock out while you still can" - Andrew Marston hears the incredible story of Wilko Johnson, who was given a new lease of life thanks to one Lakefest fan.
The former Dr Feelgood and Blockheads musician appeared on stage at Eastnor Castle - but one of those people watching in the audience is the man who saved his life.
According to the organisers, Charlie Chan, from Cheltenham, happened to be at one of Johnson's "last-ever gigs" when he came to the conclusion "there's absolutely no way you could be holding the guitar like that if you had the cancer you've been diagnosed with".
