RIP Shane

Rest in heavenly peace Shane and thank you for sharing your musical talents with the world. Your music lives on.
Condolences to Shane's family and friends.

Our sincere sympathy to Victoria, Siobhan, Maurice and all your family and friends.

Not often a nation stops;
Stops to cry,
Collective breath and deep sigh.

"Stop the clocks", close the shops, open windows, open doors - Line the roads.

Heads turn and high shouts cross reverent scaffolds amidst quiet applause.

"Tis Shane Mac Gowan"

Last drop for the long road, his story often grasped but never told.

What a heart and beautifully bold,
Couldnt be bought, couldnt be sold.

And no, no his story will never be told but we will jump the pews - dance, sing, curse and cry - in equal measure all the while.

As in his passing we can only try.

Tis not often a nation stops, stops to cry;
Collective Breath, Deep Sigh...

"Twas Shane, Shane Mac Gowan, he's just gone by"

'Their heart's in Tipperary wherever they go'

Privileged to have been in church in Nenagh for Shane's funeral what a tremendous and unforgettable send off to an absolute legend of music song and lyrics. Gerry Adams tribute truly summed up this iconic talented and most humble songwriter and performer we are ever likely to have the privilege of having amongst us. Rest in peace Shane, you will be remembered as one of lrelands best ever songwriters and some of your songs will live forever.

Condolences to Shane's loyal family Victoria, Maurice and Siobhán. He seemed a very sincere and kind person and was an authentic and gifted performer.He made a great and unique contribution to Irish music and is already missed. His funeral was so moving.

Deepest condolences to Shane’s family. Arriving in London in the 80s as a young Irish man was made a lot easier being able to see Shane and the Pogues play. Legend. Great memories, great times, thank you and RIP.

A true poet who bared his soul through his music. Thank you for enriching my life with your words.

May the music play eternally on. Rest in Paradise, Shane.

Great sadness that such an icon has passed💔 rest in peace to a true icon💓xx sincere condolences to all the family friends and fans xx💫

Deepest condolences to Victoria, Siobhan and Maurice and all Shane's many friends. Always in awe of his immense talent. I remember working in HMV when 'The Crock of Gold' came out. Maurice came in to the shop and we had a nice chat. He wanted to make sure the album was in a prominent position in the window, and spoke of how Shane always had the greatest of praise and accolades but he was worried he wouldn't have the few bob he richly deserved. The conversation has been in my head this last couple of weeks as I watched the the outpouring of love for Shane in Ireland. I hope it has comforted his family. Loved and beloved.

God bless you Shane I hope you’re in a good place
Love and sympathy to your father and sister and all who love you

It is with great sadness of heart that we pass onto Shane's family our best wishes and hope that over time they will recover from the obvious pain and sorrow that they are now suffering.

Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the row boats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon".
