Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan (25 December 1957 – 30 November 2023) was an Irish musician best known as the lead vocalist and songwriter of Celtic punk band the Pogues. MacGowan's songs were influenced by Irish history, Irish nationalism, the Irish diaspora, and London life.

Born in Kent, England, to Irish parents, MacGowan joined the punk band the Nipple Erectors before founding the Pogues in 1982. He drew upon his Irish heritage when founding the Pogues and changed his early punk style to a more traditional sound with tutoring from his extended family. Between 1985 and 1987, he co-wrote the Christmas hit single "Fairytale of New York", which he performed with Kirsty MacColl. Other notable songs he performed with the Pogues include "Dirty Old Town", "Sally MacLennane" and "The Irish Rover" (featuring the Dubliners). The 1988 release of the Pogues' most critically acclaimed album, If I Should Fall from Grace with God, marked the high point of the band's commercial success.

During a 1991 tour, the Pogues fired MacGowan for unprofessional behaviour. He subsequently formed a new band, Shane MacGowan and The Popes, with which he recorded two studio albums. In 2001, MacGowan rejoined the Pogues for reunion shows, remaining with the group until 2014. He also produced solo material and collaborated with artists such as Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Steve Earle, Sinéad O'Connor, and Ronnie Drew. MacGowan received a 2018 Ivor Novello Inspiration Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Early life

MacGowan was born on 25 December 1957[1] in Pembury, Kent, England,[2] the son of Irish immigrants. His father was from Dublin and his mother was from Tipperary. His mother, Therese, worked as a typist at a convent[3] and had previously been a singer, traditional Irish dancer, and model. His father, Maurice, came from a middle-class background and worked in the offices of department store C&A; he was, in his own words, a "local roustabout". MacGowan's younger sister, Siobhan MacGowan, became a journalist, writer, and songwriter. He was born in England, but raised in Tipperary in Ireland until the age of 6.[4]

MacGowan lived in many parts of southeast England such as Brighton, London, and the home counties, and attended an English public school. In 1971, he left Holmewood House preparatory school in Langton Green, Kent, with a scholarship for Westminster School.[5] He was found in possession of drugs and expelled in his second year.[6] He was first publicly noted in 1976 at a concert by London punk rock band The Clash, where his earlobe was damaged by future Mo-dettes bassist Jane Crockford. A photographer took a picture of him covered in blood, which made the local papers with the headline "Cannibalism at Clash Gig".[7][8][9] Shortly after this, he joined punk band the Nipple Erectors (later known as 'The Nips'), which featured bassist Shanne Bradley.[10]

Career

1982–1991: Leading the Pogues

MacGowan drew upon his Irish heritage when founding the Pogues and changed his early punk style for a more traditional sound with tutoring from his extended family. Many of his songs were influenced by Irish nationalism, Irish history, the experiences of the Irish diaspora (particularly in England and the United States), and London life in general.[11] These influences were documented in the biography Rake at the Gates of Hell: Shane MacGowan in Context. He often cited the 19th-century Irish poet James Clarence Mangan and playwright Brendan Behan as influences.[11] Their most critically acclaimed album was If I Should Fall from Grace with God (1988), which also marked the high point of the band's commercial success. Between 1985 and 1987, MacGowan co-wrote "Fairytale of New York", which he performed with Kirsty MacColl, and remains a perennial Christmas favourite. In 2004, 2005 and 2006, it was voted favourite Christmas song in a poll by music video channel VH1.[12] Other notable songs he performed with The Pogues include "Dirty Old Town", "Sally MacLennane" and "The Irish Rover" (featuring the Dubliners). In the following years MacGowan and the Pogues released several albums.[11][13] In 1988, he co-wrote "Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six", a song by the Pogues which proved highly controversial, banned on British TV and radio.[14]

In Yokohama, Japan, during a 1991 tour, the Pogues fired MacGowan for unprofessional behaviour.[15]

1992–2005: Shane MacGowan and the Popes

After MacGowan had been fired from the Pogues, he formed a new band, Shane MacGowan and The Popes. The new band recorded two studio albums, a live album, three tracks on the Popes Outlaw Heaven (2010) and a live DVD; the band also toured internationally. In 1997, MacGowan appeared on Lou Reed's "Perfect Day", covered by numerous artists in aid of Children in Need. It was the UK's number one single for three weeks, in two separate spells.[16] Selling over a million copies, the record contributed £2,125,000 to the charity's highest fundraising total in six years.[17] From December 2003 up to May 2005, Shane MacGowan and the Popes toured extensively in the UK, Ireland and Europe.[18]

2001–2014: Return to the Pogues

The Pogues and MacGowan reformed for a sell-out tour in 2001 and each year from 2004 to 2009 for further tours, including headline slots at Guilfest in England and the Azkena Rock Festival in the Basque Country. In May 2005, MacGowan rejoined the Pogues permanently.[18] That same year, the Pogues re-released "Fairytale of New York" to raise funds for the Justice For Kirsty Campaign and Crisis at Christmas. The single was the best-selling Christmas-themed single of 2005, reaching number 3 in the UK Charts that year.[19]

In 2006, he was voted 50th in the NME Rock Heroes List.[20][21] He was seen many times with the Libertines and Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty;[22] on occasions MacGowan joined Babyshambles on stage. Other famous friends included Johnny Depp, who appeared in the video for "That Woman's Got Me Drinking",[23] and Joe Strummer, who referred to MacGowan as "one of the best writers of the century" in an interview featured on the videogram release "Live at the Town and Country Club" from 1988. Strummer occasionally joined MacGowan and the Pogues on stage (and briefly replaced MacGowan as lead vocalist after his sacking from the band).[24] He also worked with Nick Cave and joined him on stage.[25]

About his future with the Pogues, in a 24 December 2015 interview with Vice magazine,[26] when the interviewer asked whether the band were still active, MacGowan said: "We're not, no," saying that, since their 2001 reunion happened, "I went back with [the] Pogues and we grew to hate each other all over again," adding: "I don't hate the band at all — they're friends. I like them a lot. We were friends for years before we joined the band. We just got a bit sick of each other. We're friends as long as we don't tour together. I've done a hell of a lot of touring. I've had enough of it."[27]

2010–2011: the Shane Gang

In 2010, MacGowan played impromptu shows in Dublin with a new five-piece backing band, the Shane Gang, including In Tua Nua rhythm section Paul Byrne (drums) and Jack Dublin (bass), with manager Joey Cashman on whistle. In November 2010, this lineup went to Lanzarote to record a new album.[28][29] MacGowan and the Shane Gang performed at the Red Hand Rocks music festival in the Patrician Hall, Carrickmore County Tyrone in June 2011.[30]

2011–2020

MacGowan made a return to stage on 13 June 2019 at the RDS Arena in Dublin as a guest for Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders.[31]

Following on from the success of Feis Liverpool 2018's finale in which he was joined by names such as Imelda May, Paddy Moloney,[32] Albert Hammond Jr and many more, MacGowan was announced to appear on 7 July alongside a host of guests for the Feis Liverpool 2019's finale. However the event was ultimately cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales and funding issues. Feis Liverpool is the UK's largest celebration of Irish music and culture.[33]

In 2020, MacGowan reportedly returned to the studio to record several new songs with the Irish indie band Cronin led by brothers Johnny and Mick Cronin.[34]

Media and charity work

MacGowan appeared in an episode of Fair City, shown on 28 December 2008.[35] In 2009, he starred in the RTÉ reality show Victoria and Shane Grow Their Own, as he and his wife Victoria Mary Clarke endeavoured to grow their food in their own garden.[36]

In 2010, MacGowan offered a piece of unusual art to the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC) to auction off to support their services to children: a drawing on a living room door.[37] It earned €1,602 for the charity.[38]

Personal life

On 26 November 2018, after a decades-long relationship and subsequent 11-year engagement, MacGowan married Irish journalist Victoria Mary Clarke in Copenhagen. They resided in Dublin.[39] MacGowan was a Roman Catholic, calling himself "a free-thinking religious fanatic" who also prayed to the Buddha. As an adolescent, he considered the priesthood.[40]

Politics

Having grown up in an Irish republican family, MacGowan said in 2015 that he regretted not joining the IRA. In a filmed interview he said, "I was ashamed I didn't have the guts to join the IRA, and The Pogues was my way of overcoming that".[41][42] The central figure in his 1997 song "Paddy Public Enemy No. 1" is based on ex-INLA leader Dominic McGlinchey. Asked his opinion of McGlinchey, MacGowan said "he was a great man".[43] He also counted Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams as a friend, according to his most recent biography.[44]

Health, addictions, and death

MacGowan began drinking alcohol at age five, when his family gave him Guinness to help him sleep. His father frequently took him to the local pub while he drank with his friends.[45]

MacGowan suffered physically from years of binge drinking.[46] He often performed onstage and gave interviews while drunk. In 2004, on the BBC TV political magazine programme This Week, he gave incoherent and slurred answers to questions from Janet Street-Porter about the public smoking ban in Ireland.[47]

In 2001, Sinéad O'Connor reported MacGowan to the police in London for drug possession. O'Connor said she took this action in an attempt to discourage him from using heroin.[48] At first furious, MacGowan later expressed gratitude to O'Connor and said the incident helped him kick his heroin habit.[49]

In the summer of 2015, as he was leaving a Dublin studio, MacGowan fell and fractured his pelvis. After that, he used a wheelchair.[34] Later that year, MacGowan said: "It was a fall and I fell the wrong way. I broke my pelvis, which is the worst thing you can do. I'm lame in one leg, I can't walk around the room without a crutch. I am getting better, but it's taking a very long time. It's the longest I've ever taken to recover from an injury. And I've had a lot of injuries".[50] He continued to use a wheelchair until his death in 2023.[51][52]

In 2016, Clarke told the press that MacGowan was sober "for the first time in years". She said that MacGowan's drinking problem stemmed from several years of "singing in bars and clubs and other venues where people go to drink and have fun" and that "his whole career has revolved around it and, indeed, been both enhanced and simultaneously inhibited by it". She said that his drinking was not a problem for many years but "went from being just a normal part of life" to becoming very unhealthy, a circumstance made much worse by the introduction of hard drugs such as heroin. She added that a serious bout with pneumonia, compounded by his 2015 hip injury, which required a long hospital stay, was ultimately responsible for his sobriety. The hospital stay required a total detox, and MacGowan's sobriety continued after he returned home.[53]

MacGowan was long known for having very bad teeth. He lost the last of his natural teeth sometime around 2008. In 2015, he had a new set of teeth—including one gold tooth—fitted in a nine-hour procedure. The new set of teeth was secured by eight titanium implants in his jaws. The procedure was the subject of the hour-long television programme Shane MacGowan: A Wreck Reborn. The dental surgeon who carried out the procedure said that MacGowan had recorded most of his great works while he still had some teeth: "We've effectively retuned his instrument and that will be an ongoing process."[27][54]

MacGowan was hospitalised for an infection on 6 December 2022.[55][56] He was diagnosed with viral encephalitis.[57]

It was reported in July 2023 that MacGowan was hospitalised in the intensive care unit (ICU).[58] Following treatment for an infection, he was discharged in November 2023.[59] He made his last public statement on 16 November 2023, complimenting Jason Kelce's cover of "Fairytale of New York".[60]

Death

On November 30, 2023, after receiving last rites, MacGowan died from pneumonia[61] at home with his wife by his side. He was 65.[62][63][64]

Legacy

Following MacGowan's death, Michael D. Higgins, the President of Ireland, said: "Shane will be remembered as one of music's greatest lyricists. So many of his songs would be perfectly crafted poems, if that would not have deprived us of the opportunity to hear him sing them. The genius of Shane's contribution includes the fact that his songs capture within them, as Shane would put it, the measure of our dreams—of so many worlds, and particularly those of love, of the emigrant experience and of facing the challenges of that experience with authenticity and courage, and of living and seeing the sides of life that so many turn away from."[65]

Autobiography and biographies

In 2001, MacGowan coauthored the autobiographical book A Drink with Shane MacGowan with his then partner, later wife, Victoria Mary Clarke.[66]

Aside from Rake at the Gates of Hell: Shane MacGowan in Context, which covered up to partway through his musical career, MacGowan was the subject of a 2015 biography, A Furious Devotion: The Life of Shane MacGowan.[67] He was also the subject of several books and paintings. In 2000, Tim Bradford used the title Is Shane MacGowan Still Alive? for a humorous book about Ireland and Irish culture.[68] Shaman Shane: The Wounded Healer by Stephan Martin brands Shane as a latter-day London-Irish spirit-raiser and exorcist. This commentary is found in the book Myth of Return: The Paintings of Brian Whelan and Collected Commentaries. London Irish artist Brian Whelan has painted MacGowan (for example Boy from the County Hell), his works are featured on MacGowan's official website, and is also the illustrator of The Popes' Outlaw Heaven cover.[69]

Honours and awards

In January 2018, MacGowan was honoured with a concert gala to celebrate his 60th birthday at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, where he was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award by Irish President Michael D. Higgins.[70] He also won the 2018 Ivor Novello Inspiration Award.[71]
