[@mobilegoat1]

I hope he survives a bit longer he never did realize what the drink is doing to him what a shame ,I am a recovering alcoholic and I know how hard it is to give it up . May God bless him .

[@eoinreilly3925]

Of course he knew he's a very intelligent man

[@thejam82]

National treasure

[@pauleliot6429]

One of the Worlds great songs

[@nafcd]

jeez. his years of drinking are taking their toll. looks like an old man. not the singer he was but still 10x better than most of them you hear today

[@phylippapembrey9293]

He never complained...he broke his pelvis and had a lot of treatment... then he got encephalitis. He spent the last 6mts of his life in St Vincent University hospital in Dublin Ireland. RIp . The legend died..

[@bsilva2146]

Still the legend Shane, good to see the Pogues and you singing together again

[@CH-1962.]

Love this voice ❤ Shane

[@RM-ks3qs]

Herrlich Shane , immer wieder eine Freude . Schön das all die Lieben immer du dir halten und dich lieben und akzeptieren wie du bist . Alles gute lieber Shane 👌🏻👍🏻

[@CaptainHaggus]

This is the truest rendition of this song any of us will ever hear.

[@irise3797]

I agree He makes his stamp on songs, he makes them his own

[@taubibhenry2616]

Les poètes sont des anges qui se brûle les ailes, merci Monsieur

[@kristineallisonallison7548]

Absolutely Beautiful 💕

[@JoeNapf58]

Einer der Besten.................

[@Nockspielt]

I dont know if its the sadest thing ive ever watched or the coolest.....

[@mario7frankielee]

now he joined the stellar all star band

[@tonyfoley1778]

Would loved to have been there.😢

[@aml3668]

I'm less than a month younger than Shane McGowan, and I've been an acolyte for well over thirty years. May S McG continue to write songs that "know" the magnificence of human experience! May he continue to be an exempar of the Irish literary tradition, of the Anglo-Irish literary tradition, for that matter! He's a bloody poet and a half, and that matters.

[@martinroche1026]

Shane MacGowan . Realist

[@debratansey6074]

Cant believe hes gone 😢

[@nikkyangel7257]

Beautiful

[@silverapples75]

Not so bad yerself!!

[@johnross7679]

the drink has finally stole our legend what a waste god be with you shane

[@hibraisil]

He gave the world a lifetime of music, ffs. He's doing okay for a guy eho got his pelvis crushed and lost his mother in the same car accident.

[@rubydawn1]

you know when its Shane singing.

[@williammitchell9974]

From Shane N Wil/IAM🌹😊👌

[@commonsense5401]

It sadness the life out of me to see this. What a fuckin waste. I knew Shane in the 80s, great years, great songs, great bands, great pub, great mates, many dead now. Dave Jordan, Peeawee, Mo OHagan , Frank Murray, Phil and many more. He taught me not to drink and take drugs to excess how about that. Will love him forever.

[@paulcarolan8646]

Hello from royal hill of Tara county Meath Ireland☺

[@fightintheshade]

You’re absolutely right. MacGowan could have been an Irish Mozart but his God given genius ruined by the drink.

[@rbaur2581]

you're all judgmental morons - the dude is what he is, if he wasn't this way you would have never even known about him. Jesus Christ!

[@commonsense5401]

rbaur wrong my friend. I knee him before the Pogues.

[@dr.aisaitl7439]

He wouldn't have made the music he did if he was a normal person at all

[@carstenlindberg1520]

👍👍👍

[@darlahaines6928]

Call Shane Mac irresponsible, call me codependent, but I'll still favor him any day over those super rich eggheads like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musty, and Zuck Markerberg!!

[@jakewalsh7220]

A refreshing lack of phones aloft in the audience...

[@christianwuttke1629]

Outslaughtert

[@patricksvatos4184]

r.i.p. mcgowan ? :'(

[@BadLuckLuke]

Can someone explain to me why he on wheelchair??? Thanks...

[@TheBoris1971]

He broke his pelvis in 2015, and because of his general poor state of health, it's not healed properly.

[@dlminflorida9406]

He had a fall off of a stage and broke his his hip and pelvis. I will try to find the interview where he talks about it and post it here for you if I find it.

[@featherette9459]

thank you.. I wondered the same Legend

[@charlesmaximus9161]

I hate to judge him like this but it just sounds so horrible and this is such a beautiful ballad. He is still one of the greats, though. I just wish he had taken better care of himself.

[@soulpaua2097]

;(

[@joekelly5597]

If ever a song was Murdered this one has been. Sorry Shane

[@CourtyardPigeon]

he did a lot more than drinking...Sinead stopped working with him because of the heroine

[@tank2449]

he looks horrible for only being 60, sad to see him turn into this. he looks like he is 80

[@RichardKoning]

How is Stephen Hawking still alive?

[@johnnydiamondsmusic1673]

Why do people indulge this pissed up alcoholic. No respect at all.

[@diice23]

just how old are you ?

[@ReezyFlameMusicENT]

You should lern some respect

[@johnnydiamondsmusic1673]

Him and Mark E Smith will be company for each other.

[@chesspunk489]

@@ReezyFlameMusicENT you should learn how to spell learn.

[@roguishpaladin]

Look...I hate alcohol, don't partake in it myself, but Shane McGowan is not defined by the alcohol, even though the alcohol has defined his life sadly. He's created ingenious music over the years and carried the spirit of Ireland in his music. There's a tradition of bards who are perhaps not the most coherent but whose voices carry magic, and I think McGowan was one of these, and perhaps still is (the audio quality's not great in this, and he got fitted with new teeth).
