Shane MacGowan funeral. On Friday, thousands of mourners, including Irish leaders and the country’s most prominent celebrities, are expected to gather to pay their respects to Shane MacGowan, the iconic frontman of The Pogues who died last week at the age of 65.

Known for his unique voice and popular songs like “Fairytale of New York” and “Pair of Brown Eyes,” MacGowan’s passing has left a deep impact on his fans. In the town of Nenagh, where a public mass will be held on Friday at 3.30pm ahead of a private cremation, songs by The Pogues are already playing on loop.

According to his widow Victoria Mary Clarke, MacGowan died of pneumonia. Over the years, he had suffered from several health issues and had recently been discharged from a Dublin hospital where he was being treated for encephalitis.

She posted: “Shane hated funerals and he refused to go to them with a few rare exceptions.

“So it’s incredible to think that so many people want to come to his and that so many beautiful people are pouring their hearts and souls into making it magnificent and magical and memorable for him and for us who are left behind.”
