For a moment in the mid-1970s Dr Feelgood, the band he co-founded, was the biggest in Britain .
The jagged riffs of songs such as She Does It Right and All Through the City both penned by Wilko would see them anointed as godfathers of punk.
His marriage was, like him, full of contradictions.
He and Irene were childhood sweethearts and stayed together until her death from cancer in 2004 .
But it was the events of 2013 that propelled his story into so-wild-you-couldn’t-make-up-up territory.
Wilko: Love and Death is at the Southwark Playhouse , London , from 20 March to 19 April .
It is a real-life Christmas Carol only this one has cancer and guitars.
After his death sentence, Wilko became a better person.
Or as he put it, “less of an arsehole” And he learnt to live more meaningfully.
