A tribute show has been announced to honor the late Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O'Connor. The Irish singers, who passed away in 2023, had a close friendship and collaborated on a duet in 1995.
Large crowds gathered along the streets of Dublin to pay homage to Shane MacGowan, the iconic lead singer of The Pogues, ahead of his funeral in County Tipperary. Musicians played some of his renowned songs, with fans singing along as a horse-drawn carriage carried his coffin through the city. The 65-year-old singer-songwriter had been ailing for an extended period before his demise last week.
U2, Paul Weller, and Pete Doherty are among the notable figures expressing tributes to Shane MacGowan, the iconic frontman of The Pogues, who passed away at the age of 65 after a recent hospital stay. Renowned for hits like "Fairytale of New York" and "A Pair of Brown Eyes," MacGowan's influence on the music industry and his lyrical brilliance were widely acknowledged.
We are delighted to announce that Shane MacGowan, famed frontman of The Pogues and the voice behind the iconic Christmas song 'Fairytale Of New York,' has been discharged from the hospital. MacGowan had been under medical care following an accident earlier this month.
