To be honest it's amazing he lived to the age of 65. I saw The Pogues at Brixton Academy many, many years ago and he was clearly drunk on stage and the gig was shambolic as a result. I also saw The Pogues at the Town and Country club when Joe Strummer took over lead singing duties as McGowan wasn't well enough to perform at that time, and it was so much better than the show with Shane. Heartbreakingthat neither of them are with us.
