Sad news, really sad news. SHANE MacGOWAN, the former voice/face of
THE POGUES, one of the greatest performers/songwriters ever has passed
away today after being sick for some time, aged 65. This Christmas he would
have celebrated his 66th one. Shane had a wild life filled with lots of alcohol.
Yet, he was one of those rock stars that would survive anyway.
I saw The Pogues several times and it was always
more of a party than a regular gig.
The news was announced via the socials of The Pogues.
Shane MacGowan about that fabulous The Pogues classic
‘Fairytale Of New York’ feat. the late great Kirsty MacColl.
