The singer Shane MacGowan, known for being part of the band The Pogues, died this Thursday at 3 in the morning at the age of 65. This comes after a long fight that kept him in the hospital for several days. The vocalist of the legendary group had to be hospitalized for a brain infection that caused inflammation.
A viral encephalitis that has finally ended his life. “I don’t know how to say this, so I’m just going to say it. Shane, you will always be the light before me and the measure of my dreams and the love of my life and the most beautiful soul and beautiful angel and the sun and the moon and the beginning and the end of everything that is dear to me has gone to be with Jesus and Mary and his beautiful mother Therese,” his wife announced on social networks.
A hard blow for the family, which, despite being expected after the latest events, is still painful. “There is no way to describe the loss I feel and the longing for one more of her smiles that illuminated my world,” Victoria Mary Clarke continued in a beautiful post on Instagram.
Likewise, she has assured that she has been blessed “to have known him and to have loved him and to have been so infinitely and unconditionally loved by him.” And she can’t do anything other than thank him for the years they have shared together.
But that is not all. He also wanted to point out her milestone in the world of music, ensuring that she gave a lot of joy to many people. “You will live in my heart forever. Rave on in the garden all wet with rain that you loved so much. You meant the world to me,” she concluded.
And she herself was in charge of announcing a few days ago that the singer had been admitted to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin to treat the serious infection and prevent it from causing physical and mental consequences.
Shortly after, he said on social media that he had finally been able to leave the clinic. “We are deeply and eternally grateful to all the doctors, nurses…” she said. Without a doubt, if anything has been clear, it is the love they have felt for each other during all the years they have been together.
With the death of Shane MacGowan, a star leaves, but he leaves for everyone the legacy he formed when creating the band The Pogues in 1982. With this, he managed to unify punk rebellion with Irish folk, and in the process, make history in the world of music.
