Anyone that dislikes shane for hi alcoholism should be ashamed. He gave me good music and when I was being abused at age 10 Shane was on radio I read A drink with shane macgowan and I see an authentic human. I am an alcoholic but getting help Shane was a shy guy and eccentric but unlike me he had company and love all around him I didn't but trying to build up my life. Want to encourage young alcoholics to get into treatment ASAP
Ummm. Imelda, can I just say, your vocals are glorious! (I've got give a shout out to God for your gift) If you ever seek a simple man, and seek a rural life in the woods, my door is open...❤️
it is magic right to the soul Shane we will always remember & miss you yr words are magnificent i havent stopped crying for a week as a ex alcoholic i surround Shanes memory in my love & empathy beloved mad boy rip
I’ve been sober seven years and have shed tears watching him since he passed and listening to his music. He has had a profound impact on me like no other
Some performance from a guy visually deep in the grip of drug addiction.Flawed lyrical genius,I adored the guy,spoke for the Irish diaspora,wherever we may be
Back here one day after his passing. This was him at his worst and from here his health did really detirorate but the man is and always will be a lyrical genius, might not have had the best singing voice ever and it had got very weak here but that makes him one of Ireland's greatest ever. Rest easy shane your suffering is over now. One of our country's greatest musicians ❤
An absolutely unique and brilliant talent, Kevin. What personal courage, will, and energy it took to find a permanent place in millions of hearts and evoke just as many deeply positive emotional responses. Truly one definition of genius.Forever the pride of a nation. Thank you, Shane. Thank you, Pogues.
I think in his prime and once he found his style and got comfortable with it he was one of the greatest singers ever, at least for those kind of folk ballads and fast folk-"punk" tunes like Sally MacLenanne ... incredible to deliver them in that pace and with that vigor and energy and emotion ... sadly his voice deteriorated fast due to the well-known addiction issues and those endless Pogues tours in the late 80s ... still far and above most other so called artists in my book, and will always love him! Rest in peace you hero!!!
