According to his agent's website, there's no hope of recovery, but at the time of writing Johnny is still alive, although very ill. He's not able to accept any phone calls, but welcomes any messages folk would like to send. For those on Facebook, you can leave a message for Johnny on his Facebook group page (tried to put the address here but YouTube won't let me! Just enter 'Johnny Silvo' into the search field.)
Nice video, beautiful song and a truly lovely man.
I've seen Johnny twice - 40 years apart, both in Dartford, Kent. Unless he visits the USA I'll have to wear my CDs out. I'd love a CD of him with Dave Moses who was with him at both gigs. Thanks for some great songs.

His voice is amazing - such a range. My condolences to his friends and family.

Sadly, Johnny passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. He'll be greatly missed by all who knew him or heard his music.
RIP Johnny Silvo 1936-2011.

I have had the pleasure to watch this Great Man perform many times over the years at the Merrymas Folk Festival in Irvine, Scotland.
It was an Honour to have met and known him.
He will be sourly missed.

Now, that man always makes me happy. Such a voice, such an energy, such a smile. Can't wait to see him in Denmark this summer
