An intimate and moving account of Radio 2 legend Johnnie Walker's life and passing. The story of a national treasure we won't soon forget, told by the woman who knew him best.

"Just because you're fucking dying doesn't mean you can be rude to everyone!"

In Both Sides Now, his devoted wife Tiggy explores the final stages of his illness, while reflecting on the stories of their life together. She remembers the best times in their life and the highs of Johnnie's career, which underpins their final and precious moments together. She opens up about the heartbreak and frustration of anticipatory grief, whilst juggling the practicalities of care. This heartfelt, and life-affirming tribute remembers a life well-lived, while exploring the profound challenge of saying goodbye to someone so adored, with love, dignity and grace.

This is an honest and incredibly personal account of a life spent loving Johnnie; an uplifting and raw account of his celebrated and remarkable life, from the woman who knew him best.
