RIP

Yeah, sad, but he's not been well for a good while now.
Back at his peak you'd have got good odds on him making it as far as 65!

Very sad.
Timeless music filled with energy.
I went to the Pogues gig in Gothenburg, I think around 1990 +- couple of years or so, can't remember exactly, I was kind of drunk, but so was Shane.
Here's something from 1983:

RIP Shane, and thank you for the music.

The odds of Fairytale of New York being number 1 at christmas is a certainty this year.

Sad that both of them are no longer around.
