'Cause of death has not been released' :think:

I should imagine being a 100-year old man was cause enough....

Wow...I'd have guessed Kissinger died in the 90s! Had no idea he was (until very recently) still about.

As I once read somewhere: death is nature's way of telling you to take it a bit easier.

Seen them several times and when they were good they were awesome but remember a couple of poor performances (Reading Festival was the worst) where SM couldn't stand up on his own due to drink, the boys dumped him in a corner and carried on.
Personal favourite of mine is Young Ned of the hill, one of many fantastic songs they did.

He was actually English!

I liked his work with the Popes.

Just saw a pic of him in his hospital bed, trying to smile for the camera. Doesn't look like it ended well! :thumbdown:

I am amazed that McGowan made it past 33 - let alone getting to 65.

Even more amazed his liver lasted with him

Ah fuckit. I liked the old Shane boyo. He and Ronnie Drew and Bap Kennedy all worked hard at the drink and there's only one winner.

I saw the Pogues as the support band to Elvis Costello in either 84 or 85 at Hammersmith Palais.

Shane was pissed, Cait was angry but all in all it made me a bit of a fan.
