PETE MCKEE: “I’m aware I’ve had the full benefit of someone passing.”

Manatomy with Danny Wallace & Phil Hilton

This guy is an absolute dude. A pop-artist who took up the game after leaving Tesco at 40, he quickly became a favourite of the Gallagher brothers, Arctic Monkeys and more. He can sum up the life of a body with just a few of his brushstrokes - despair, delight, love, angst. But his own body - raised on Sheffield stodge - has given him a few surprises, and in this episode, he tells Danny & Phil about the shock his body one day surprised him with - but which led to more than a little enlightenment.
Talking music, surprise organ transplants, fear, mortality, and the guilt of a total stranger giving you life… it’s the thoughtful and brilliant Pete McKee.
