Whatever anyone says about the guy,his minute indescretions aside,to me,he is Mr Manchester.Directly or indirectly,he is responsible for the city being what it is today,that being a cool,iconic,cultural,arts & music leader.I accept I may be biased in this view,I'm a very proud Mancunian,but no city in the world can compete on the same level musically.I wish him all the very best & a speedy recovery.Top man

Tony, you're at the top of the prayer list in my Brigade. All the best, and hang in there. You've gone through a lot--Ian's suicide. The falling-through of the Hacienda. Rob's death. You can get through this too. I have faith in that.
We all go through dark tunnels in our lives... some worse than others, but dark all the same. But there's always that shining light at the end that always leads us through.
And that light is hope.
All the best...
Good sentiments. I agree with you 
Latest news is that they've installed Rob on the door at The Gates, so he'll probably be safe for a while yet.
Get well soon, you tosser, we all secretly love you for what you've done.
Positive thoughts are with you. :)

All the best to Tony, and hope he makes a full recovery soon. Aswell as being involved with Factory & The Hacienda, he's also had an interesting TV career. I used to like his talk/debate show for Granada called, "Stand & Deliver", which was always entertaining. Also, I liked his early 90's quiz show, "Remote Control", which was co-presented by Frank Sidebottom and Phil Cornwell (from "Dead Ringers"). He was also one of the critics on Terry Christian's "Turn On Terry", which was a good late-night TV review show, which was sadly axed, as it was a good show and gave a realistic review on the week's TV, and not a back-slapping charade like some shows I could mention.
So, thanks to Tony for all the entertainment he's given us over the years, and get well soon mate!
Bit of a bombshell hearing about this the other day - hope "our Tone" can do a Kylie and beat this horrible cancer and make a good recovery. The north west arts scene will be much poorer without him - cos we need someone to be both svengali and gobshite for some time yet - and no one can do it quite like Mr Wilson.
:)
Good Luck Tony!
If you can make it through the Ryder years, this will be a doddle!
All the very Best!
Awful news. Three of my mates, a guy and his two sisters, lost their mum to cancer eight years ago. C'mon Tony, show it who's boss! Good luck!
come on tony wilson, you wil recover soon...we need you...you are the true genius...life without you means nothing...
cheers and best regards
This is truly sad. I wish Tony nothing but the greatest strength, and a little luck, in his fight against cancer. Although I have never even met you, you have indirectly changed my life through your role in the lives of others that have affected my life very profoundly. Our thoughts are with you, TW!
