British guitarist Wilko Johnson says he is free of cancer, two years after being told he had months to live.
The former member of blues-rockers Dr. Feelgood launched what he said would be a farewell tour after his diagnosis in 2012 of incurable pancreatic cancer. He also recorded a "final" album with Roger Daltrey of The Who.
He told The Associated Press at the time that the diagnosis had made him feel "intensely alive" and renewed his creativity.
Accepting a trophy Wednesday at the Q Awards, 67-year-old Johnson said he had undergone radical surgery to remove a 3-kilogram tumour. He said: "They cured me."
Johnson said he hoped to go back on the road soon, "and the moral of the story is you never know what's going to happen."
