Their singer, Shane MacGowan:

He was sniffing glue on stage. I kid you not.
I lost a shoe at that gig in the melee. Limped all the way home.
It defies all reason and medical science that the man is still alive.
I know, I've never seen him sober ever! I once watched a documentary on him,years ago, when I was still in high school. He goes through 2 bottles of spirits a day as a standard. I love that wee christmassy song he did as well.
Alrighty then. Will do.
It's at my favorite venue as well so I may be in for a treat.
Fairytale of New York, that's the title of that song I like. Go and steal it Skiz.
That's my missus's favourite song.
The singer he's duetting with Skiz, Kirsty McColl, was tragically brained by a speedboat while she was on holiday a few years ago.
Another great talent obliterated. :sad:
