Shane McGowan RIP (P8)

[jimharri]

Amazed he's made it to 64,to be honest. Between the cancer sticks and the booze, he's definitely burned the candle at both ends.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

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

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Really sad to hear the news of one of the greatest songwriters of all time really I’ll . God bless you Shane .

Has he ever actually been ' well ' ?? and I'm sure his dentist will miss him.

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

Has he not been sober for quite some time now? Anyway, the Pogues are one of my favourite bands, so this is terrible news :-(

Come on man let's have a little bit of respect.

It'll be the sanitised version of course without the naughty words in it ;)

Always amazed how long both Shane and Shaun Ryder have lasted and wondered which of them would depart first.
The Pogues live was something special

Well that's the Christmas number 1 sorted (let's just hope they play the unedited version)

Saw him at the Hacienda. Pissed as a fart with a full crate of special brew on stage.

He does not look good.

What a life though.

Saw him at the Apollo with the Pogues.
He was drinking vodka out of a full pint glass!

Around 88? Or 89?
