Shane McGowan RIP (P8)

[Nellies left peg]

Oh, no
Imagine if he croaks in the next 3 weeks. Even more plays of that fucking awful "Christmas song"

Hang on Shane

It's played a lot but that doesn't make it awful. It's a great song which is why it stands the test of time.

In 2003 he was given months to live if he didn't stop drinking. Still with us nearly 20 years later

He’s lived the life he wanted and if he got the chance to do it all again I suspect he wouldn’t change a thing. Good luck to him which ever way it pans out.

Pogue mahone no doubt

“Kiss my arse “

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Wish him well. Some great songs.
Ironic that he's still around while Kirsty MacColl went long before her time.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Around 88? Or 89?

Yup

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I honestly thought he was already dead.

Fun fact: they recorded the vocals separately and had never met when it came out.

Fairytale of New York is one of my least fave songs. They have done too many to have a fave but top 5 atm could be body of an anerican
Thousands are sailing , streets of sorrow , sally mcaleanne and streams of whiskey but there is many many more .
