💚☘️💚 Shane MacGowan 💚☘️💚

I am beyond crushed and heartbroken to have to say this. Shane MacGowan, lead singer of the Pogues and one of the greatest songwriters of all time, has died. He went into the hospital in Dublin in June, was diagnosed with a very serious blood infection, and was released from the hospital only last week ~ I'm assuming now, to be able to be at home and with his wife that he loves more than anything in the world, Victoria Mary. Please keep Victoria Mary in your hearts. ❤️ She's one of the kindest, sweetest, most giving, loving, and deeply spiritual people on earth. She, in return, loves Shane more than anyone in the world. They're without question, two of the Most Beautiful Soul Mates to have ever existed on earth and if ever a Love will go on forever, it's Shane and Victoria Mary MacGowan's. ✨🤍🤍✨ Shane proudly called himself Mr. Victoria Mary. ❤️❤️

Please, I encourage everyone to share their thoughts and feelings about Shane, Victoria Mary, Shane & Victoria, and the Pogues here...

❤️❤️ WE LOVE YOU, SHANE ❤️❤️

Love,

❤️ Jennifer and All Of Citizens Of Boomtown ❤️

Rum,Sodomy & the Lash was the last album I bought in the UK before I left.What you saw with Shane is what you got.Either you loved him or you thought he was mad.I thought he was a genius and he will sadly be missed.

That is so true, Christine. I'm very glad you rediscovered the Pogues. I learned about the Pogues from Richie, who was & still is the manager of Newbury Comics in Boston, and has been and is the lead singer of many bands (Hi, Richie, if you're on here ~ you're the first person I thought of after Victoria Mary), when I was 16. For the entire time I worked there, I heard "Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" & "Red Roses For Me" at least once a day and I'm glad I did! I also got to witness Richie breaking into many spontaneous & hilarious dances! I connect nothing but complete and total happiness with the Pogues, so, Victoria Mary is completely right in the beyond beautiful tribute she's written for and to her husband: the Pogues have brought ~ and bring ~ so much happiness to so many people. They always will. 💚☘️💚

I'm actually laughing now, thinking about walking through the halls of high school with "Sally MacLennane" stuck in my head at at least one point in every day! I was definitely the only person in high school with "Sally MacLennane" (one of my favorite songs in life!) stuck in my head! But that's the degree to which I was always hearing "Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash". It was actually hard to not start dancing! To this day, I can sing the entire album front~to~back!
