Subject: Shane MacGowan: Pogues singer dies aged 65
Written By: Philip Eno on 11/30/23 at 2:00 pm
The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has died aged 65, following a recent hospital stay after being diagnosed with encephalitis.
The singer-songwriter, whose hits include 1987's Fairytale of New York and A Pair of Brown Eyes, had been unwell for some time.
MacGowan also had well-documented problems with drugs and alcohol.
His wife Victoria Mary Clarke said on Instagram that MacGowan "meant the world to me".
She wrote: "I don't know how to say this so I am just going to say it. Shane... has gone to be with Jesus and Mary and his beautiful mother Therese."

That's sad :(
If I Should Fall From Grace With God was such a fantastic album. Both 'Fairytale of New York' and 'Fiesta!' are among my favourite songs of the 80 decade!

That goes without saying. The song might even chart in the US/Canada for the first time ever
