Editing Philip Chevron (section)

==Illness and death==
In June 2007, [[The Pogues]]' website announced that Chevron had been diagnosed with [[oesophageal cancer]]. In early 2008, the website announced that Chevron had recovered, and that his hearing had returned to almost pre-treatment levels. He embarked on the March 2008 tour of the United States and sang "[[Thousands Are Sailing]]" at each performance. By 2009, Chevron was free of cancer.<ref>{{cite web|last=Harper|first=Jason|url=http://www.pitch.com/wayward/archives/2009/10/23/wayward-qanda-interview-with-philip-chevron-of-the-pogues|title=Wayward Q&A: Interview with Philip Chevron of the Pogues; The Fast Pitch|publisher=The Pitch|date=23 October 2009|access-date=9 October 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015032430/http://www.pitch.com/wayward/archives/2009/10/23/wayward-qanda-interview-with-philip-chevron-of-the-pogues|archive-date=15 October 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
