To be fair MacGowan's pumped enough poison into an - almost - 67 year old body he's likely in the same shape as 99 year old Philip was. Advent avalanche is just over a week away 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,944 Posted November 23, 2023 He has not been sent home to die. He's off oxygen and that's a damn good sign for someone like Shane. IMHO he just survived the ordeal this time. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,037 Posted November 23, 2023 He has not been sent home to die. Apparently he has to cash his royalty cheques from Fairytale in person. Once he's done that, back to the hospital bed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted November 29, 2023 Nick Cave's social media has latterly been posting the "say a prayer for him" angle on Shane, I saw one brave/highly foolish response from a person saying "never heard of him" Either way, everyone's already discussing his legacy - less than two days to the Advent Avalanche 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted November 30, 2023 No One gets out of November alive! A second hit for my TOTP theme team (unheard of!) among others but I'm not going to post Fairytale which was the Pogues biggest hit of 1987. This is what happens when you pop out for a ciggie....

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted November 30, 2023 FFS, that is doubly shite timing, denying the Advent Avalanche and also just too soon to allow the usual boost for Christmas and ensuing wave of sympathy to give Fairytale of New York a #1 (highest ever is #2, though it's hit the top five a few times) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
