Anthony H Wilson is dead
Tony Wilson, cantankerous anchorman, unsuccessful businessman, inspired A&R talent, tireless enthusiast, died this evening at 6.05pm. He'd been diagnosed with kidney cancer and had one kidney removed back in January.
A spokesperson for Christie Hospital, where Wilson died, said:
"Tony Wilson died peacefully at the Christie Hospital at 6.05pm this evening with his family by his bedside.
"Tony was a very great supporter of the Christie and this is extremely sad news.
"We would like to extend our sympathy to Tony's family."

Huge loss. Wilson was instrumental in advancing the careers of many unknown but great bands, and, from all accounts, was a funny, caring man.
