Nick Cave and Shane MacGowan were good friends for a long time.
Together they recorded their cover of Louis Armstrong‘s 1967 classic hit
What A Wonderful World in 1992.
Shane passed away last week, on 30 November, aged 65.
Here’s Nick‘s emotional tribute to his iconic friend.
R.I.P. Shane.

The late Jeffrey Ross Hyman aka Joey Ramone was born on 19 May 1951 in Queens, New York. He would have turned 68 today. He was unquestionably my favorite Ramone. Some (wankers) just viewed him as a tall, long-haired nerd. I taught he was awesome, just being himself, no macho rock attitude (unlike Johnny and Dee Dee), great rose-colored shades, a natural voice, and most of all he talked and looked like a totally cool dude. Here are three big Joey moments to celebrate his birthday…
1. ‘Blitzkrieg Pop’ at the legendary London concert on 31 December 1977
2. ‘What A Wonderful World’ – fun cover, great Joey footage
3. December 2000 interview
