Still trying to process the terribly sad news about Shane. The fact that Dylan, Nick Cave and Bruce Springsteen all revered him speaks volumes. A champion of the outcast and the underdog, he was a true original. Condolences to all x
We lived in the same city, but I only met Shane McGowan 3 times, never in Dublin. I encountered him as a shy yet direct man with a huge heart and a mountain of character. That, and his formidable songwriting skill, is how I think of him. May he rock, rave & rabble-rouse in peace.
Farewell Shane MacGowan. A life lived to the full. A lyrical genius. An inspiration to so many of us who wanted to be in bands. I followed The Pogues to far flung places, met Shane a few times and watched some of the most exhilarating shows I’ve ever witnessed

I remember Shane MacGowan when he was in his mid-teens and coming down the Roxy in Covent Garden to bang on unattended drums in his Union jack jacket. A crazy kid with a dream who grew into one of the greatest talents these islands have ever know. A creative giant. Sleep well, Shane and see you at number one for Christmas.
RIP Shane. Poet, singer and arguably the greatest talent thrown up by the London-Irish community. He spoke for us all. And, at his best, he touched everyone.
You mad, flawed genius. No one could match the grace or poetry of your words, your melodies are eternal. Your tunes inspired us to live, love & to wreck the place, they will inspire long after we’re all gone. We’ll never see the likes of you again. Raise hell in heaven Shane 💚
I'm utterly devastated here. Dublin City Council has decided to evict me and the 39 other artists in our collective, from a space that we gutted and cleaned and rescued from dereliction. This will definitely be the end of me and my career in Dublin. @LabDCC@DubCityCouncil
Liverpool have been successful in their appeal against Alexis Mac Allister's red card against Bournemouth on Saturday.
If only there was some sort of system in place that could correct a referee’s mistake whilst the game is still going on.
She had a way of walking.
Possibly the greatest duet ever recorded.
Rest easy Sinéad and know how much ireland and the world love you.
