Sorry to hear that, just read your earlier post on him. Must have been great to meet them when you were a kid. 

Aye, funnily enough we were with Darryl at Carlisle the night it was announced that Fairytale of New York had only made Christmas No.2 in 1987.

 

Fucking Pet Shop Boys.

 

Last time I saw Darryl was backstage at T in The Park about 2007, had a lengthy chat with him about King Crimson (he was a fan). He was always a real pleasure to talk to.

Unashamed to say there's been tears here. Lost an absolute legend. RIP Shane.

Gutted. RIP Shane x

First proper concert I ever went to was The Pogues in 1987, it was brilliant.

Amazed he got to 65 to be honest.

Great body of work.

Same although it was 1984.

 

Sad news today although as others have said, pretty astounding he lasted so long.

[Pidge]

Saw them in 2005 and it looked like he was heading off then, he could pull it together for songs, but was kind of tragic too. 

 

Fuck. This sucks.

 

We've lost a true poet.

Shane was called (posted this in the Random music thread - should be here)

I would have loved to have seen them live. RIP Shane 

[Carvalho Diablo]

My favourite.

 

Don't think he's ever sounded more wasted, don't think he ever sounded better.

 

Would love to hear the Kop somehow get it together to sing the proper lyrics to Dirty Old Town tonight, as a tribute to Shane, rather than to Big Virg.

 

Your troubles are finally behind you sir, sleep peacefully my friend and thank you.

I've a day off tomorrow. I had no intention of drinking today but I popped for a couple to raise a glass to Shane earlier. A bottle of spiced rum and the Pogues on YouTube after this match point to a Friday morning hangover. I'm fucking gutted. 

[lifetime fan]

A lyrical genius. 
 

Properly gutted.

The Pogues and MacGowen are somthing that totally passed me by.

 

Will someone put up five songs that will fill in the gaps for me?

I met him once. Was sat in a Filthy McNastys in King’s Cross 1996, he was drinking pints of neat Bacardi, slumped in his chair. Every now and then he’d perk up and break into song and you could hear a pin drop in there. Proper sad, a genuine talent.

Two great lost voices. Fuck it, I'm going to say a quick hello to the ginger lady myself.

I assumed Bruce was taking the piss

 

[ZonkoVille77]

Gutted. Met him once and he was so sound. 

He had been very sick so I had a feeling it was coming. Another legend gone.

I didn't care, wasn't going to take much to instigate a bunch of vids today.
