You couldn't write lyrics like him, if you were not a good listener. And Shane was still listening intently here to everyone. A brilliant man.

I'm of Irish descent living in Texas. I had never heard of Shane until last week after his death. I had heard of The Pogues. I was never into the drug culture or Punk. It does interest me to watch all these videos of how Shane destroyed his body. It occurs when you use alcohol, prescription medicine, and other legal and illegal substances too much. Isn't it interesting how these people juice up to be a genius or a natural talent and are seen with powerfully impressive talent?

Rest in peace The Great Shane MacGowen, you were and always will be a legend, thank you for the music ❤️❤️🙏🏻

Legend. Your passing has brought it all back, and long may it last. RIP Shane

The first time I had ever laid eyes on Shane McGowan was about 10 years ago, or more… My musician friend had put on a video of him, singing the Cover-Tune, Hippie Hippie Shake with the Pogues, I thought such a brilliant man, singing without any teeth, and I loved him ever after.. Rest in peace, dear Shane ✨💖✨x

Fairytale of New ,York best Xmas song ever . RIP Shane . ❤🙏🇮🇪

A poet a story teller I have no words to describe how much we will miss you. We in the North of this Island will miss your insight xxx

even now, every time he opens his mouth, everyone stops and listens and he comes out with something great. Such a underrated writer and performer.

God bless you Shane. I am so proud of my Irish heritage and you were a big part of it.

👍. Not sure about the 'thought you would never die' bit though. It reminds me of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty. When they were all at the height of their fame I wouldn't have been shocked to see on the news that any one of them had died young. Obviously we lost one of them young and another outlived most people's expectations by 30-40 years,and the other looks so healthy now he is probably more at risk from dieing from a heart attack and high cholesterol!! Rip Shane and Amy .

so many classic songs of life and tender love. the world was lucky to see Shane born. live forever, measure of our dreams.

Ive been listening to this man since in the womb his voice warms me and even here when people take over its not the same ! RIP shane don't be scared god loves a sinner

Emotional watch from what he was. This Guy is and always be an Irish Legend to me...

The maestro has left us but Shane’s music will live on forever

R.I.P Shane a true legend.. many many great memories of shane McGowan and the pogues music being played in the pub's especially in the late 80's... 90's and it wasn't rare to have a traditional band playing pogues song's outside the bars on the streets after closing time and playing into the early hours of the morning everyone dancing, drinking and having great craic great time's 🇮🇪 ☘ 🍻🍻 👍

Shane’s passing has renewed a deep dive in to his music and life for me. For the first time I felt the angst of both sides of my family’s history as immigrants and finally understand my karmic past. Half my family immigrated from Italy and half from the UK. No wonder!!

Loved his laugh it was epic. He was a kind soul. Sad his addictions pulled him down. Rest in peace !

The greatest lyricist of all times that is Shane McGowan!

Shane reminds me of my Grandfather who died 1 year ago in the night from 6tg to 7th of December in 2022. He was sick and couldn't walk. He was 69. He drank, he smoked, he was stubborn, lonly and sad. And I'm the same. May they rest in peace.

every pub in manchester was singing in the 80s with irish music, i missed many a monday for work.

I remember pulling over to a roadside stop next to a lake and making my wife join me for a goofy dance, around the car, to "Fiesta" which I cranked on my car stereo as people stared, driving by. She was so embarrassed but I'll never forget the laughs and her smiling. Lost her to a car wreck only a few years later. Hurts when the song comes on and that pain battles with the warm remembrances that try to put a smile on my face.

Love you Shane, great man, great poet, grew up in Croatia listening to his music. Rum Sodomy and the Lash is my favourite, followed by Hell's Ditch and others... I had the privilege to see him live in Zagreb in 1998 with the Popes. Unfortunately missed his Pogues gig here in 2011. I'll never forgive myself for that.

There's nothing wrong with getting tearful if you have grown up with Irish migrant grandparents living around you. In Victoria Australia in the 1950s no one bothered to ask if your name was Irish, because Irish names were so common, along with multiple Pat's, Mick's and Bluey's. But that's long past and I really miss that time in my life. Phil.

I used to play and sing in a band and had to watch how much i drank because I'd forget how to play, I'd forget the chords and the lyrics. Somehow shane never forgot the lyrics .

Beautiful man. I love His manner and words .

Love him now always will love your music

This is a bit great and a bit difficult to watch now. The man wasn’t in great shape here, yet it was 2019 and still somehow made it through a whole frickin’ pandemic just to spite the doubters just for shits. RIP

Went to see the Pogues decades ago. Shane had to be held up on stage by two men, he was so wasted. I thought he'd be a goner soon then, but he pulled through for many years after. A very special man with a special heart. RIP, you will be missed
