Not surprising I guess but still gutting. Don't really flinch much at celebrity deaths but a big fan of Shane and the Pogues.

 

Absolute mess of a life at times, miracle to an extent he got this far. No less sad though.

 

RIP 

 

In the spirit of the Wire,

Dancing in the church? :D

Poignant emotion, conviviality, fun and mayhem even from beyond the grave, eh, Shane?

 

Good to see almost all the surviving Pogues there (Jem Finer, James Fearnley, Spider Stacy, Terry Woods & Cait O'Riordan - didn't spot Andrew Ranken?). 

Also, John Sheahan, the last of the classic line-up of The Dubliners - the proto-folk/punkers.

After a childhood listening to parental Dubliners records and teenage/early 20s into punk and its many post-punk ripples, I was always going to be a big Pogues fan, wasn't I?
