Shane MacGowan, lead singer of the Pogues, dead at 65

Quote:

Shane MacGowan, the legendary hard-drinking frontman of the Irish punk-folk band the Pogues, died early Thursday, his family announced. He was 65.
The “Fairytale of New York” songwriter died at 3 a.m. with his wife and family by his side, his band announced online.
“I don’t know how to say this so I am just going to say it,” his wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, also wrote on Instagram.
“‘There’s no way to describe the loss that I am feeling and the longing for just one more of his smiles that lit up my world,” she said of the “love of my life and the most beautiful soul and beautiful angel.”
