Wilko recorded the last album at a time when he was expecting to die from cancer. He was diagnosed in 2012 and given just months to live, heading out on a farewell tour after opting not to undergo chemotherapy. But a reassessment by medics led to major pioneering surgery which left him cancer-free and with a new zest for life.
In-demand blues artist Joanne Shaw Taylor, who joins Wilko as special guest on the tour, has played dozens of shows in her own right this year showcasing tracks from her critically acclaimed fourth album, 2014’s The Dirty Truth, as well as songs from her previous releases White Sugar and Almost Always Never.
