Man, this sucks. He's looked sickly for years, but he was still here.

He looked like he'd been playing with house money for the last 30 years,

Sad to see him go. His influence is undeniable.

Looks like he had encephalitis. That will do it, especially given his history.

Sad, but he lasted about 20 years longer than I would have expected.

I'm surprised this took so long to happen. Boys From the County Hell will always be one of my favorites!

The Pogues were my #2 according to Spotify. I first watch Shane as a kid with my dad on a VHS tape he did with The Dubliners. Dad liked the The Dubliners, I liked Shane and The Pogues.

Shane was obviously an intelligent man and a brilliant lyricist. Just goes to show what too much alcohol does to the brain. In his later years he was almost a partially functional vegetable. RIP Mr. McGowan.

Sure it wasn't this?


Hepatic encephalopathy is a decline in brain function that occurs as a result of severe liver disease. In this condition, your liver can't adequately remove toxins from your blood. This causes a buildup of toxins in your bloodstream, which can lead to brain damage.

A very possible explanation. Either way I'm sad he's gone.

Hepatic encephalopathy is often a consequence of severe cirrhosis due to alcoholism.

The funeral has been pretty epic. Lots of music, including Nick Cave singing "Rainy Night in Soho." It looks like the remaining Pogues will sing "The Parting Glass" at the end.

If anyone's funeral would have dancing in the church aisles it would be his. He would love that.
