Wilko Johnson (born John Peter Wilkinson; 12 July 1947 – 21 November 2022) was an English guitarist, singer, songwriter and occasional actor. He was a member of the pub rock/rhythm and blues band Dr. Feelgood in the 1970s. Johnson was known for his distinctive guitar playing style which he achieved by not using a pick but instead relying on fingerstyle. This enabled him to play rhythm guitar and riffs or solos at the same time creating a highly percussive guitar sound. Johnson and Dr. Feelgood were an influence on the English punk movement. In 2011 and 2012 he appeared in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, as mute executioner Ser Ilyn Payne. On 25 January 2013, he told a BBC 4 radio interviewer that he had cancer and doctors had told him he had nine or ten months to live. He also talked about his "farewell tour" of the UK set for March and how his diagnosis had made him feel "vividly alive." After the tour was over, he recorded a "farewell album" with The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey. However, Johnson did not have the more common adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. It was later discovered that he had a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (PanNET), a less aggressive and more treatable form of the disease. Johnson underwent radical surgery to treat his illness, and the doctors were hopeful that his prognosis would be good. Johnson died on 21 November 2022, at home, at the age of 75.
