Former Dr. Feelgood man Wilko Johnson has been forced to cancel his upcoming tour which was to include a date in Dublin's Academy on Friday 30th May in order to undergo a medical procedure.

Wilko, currently riding high in the UK album chart with the Roger Daltrey collaboration 'Going Back Home', has sought further advice about his pancreatic cancer and as a result has undergone a medical procedure that will see him out of action for the foreseeable future. Doctors are hopeful that following the surgery the prognosis for Wilko will be positive.

All refunds for the Academy show will be available at the point of purchase. 

Everyone here at entertainment.ie wishes Wilko a healthy and speedy recovery.
