    There was about 130 years lived in that 65 year old body! 

    The Pogues' version of 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' is a big favourite of mine, along with some of their other stuff.

    RIP Shane

    Very sorry to hear this. He was a truly great songwriter.

    My reaction has been very similar to when Lemmy passed on, which was about 8 years ago now. Firstly very sorry to lose someone so talented, followed almost immediately by "how on earth did he last this long??".

    RIP.

    A little remembered punk classic - lyrics sum up his attitude.

    Having seen photos of him recently, I knew it won’t have been long. Seen him a good few times and was always a mad night. He was a great song writer.

    RIP Shane.

    For all that his was a life marked by self-destruction he was tremendously talented, much of his music features on the soundtrack of my life.

    RIP Shane.

    RIP Shane. He was only discharged from hospital recently because he had apparently improved.

    I last saw The Pogues 10 years ago & even then they wheeled Shane on and off the stage a few times.

    I had forgotten that he came to see a band I was managing at Dingwalls once. Wish I had had the courage to go and chat with him.

    I saw he had been discharged from hospital on the back of an improvement, coupled with a photo in which he looked awful, and I worried then he was on his way. RIP Shane - some memorable music and a life the stuff of legend.

    Seeing Shane sing Disney songs at Meltdown quite a few years ago was one of my weirdest life experiences

    Sad day. What a great character he was. Used to know him back in the day. He went to Westminster school, which might surprise some people.
