Shane MacGowan’s widow admits she 'spent 35 years worrying about his death'
ok.co.ukShane MacGowan’s widow, Victoria Mary Clarke, has said she worried about his death for 35 years because he “pushed the boundaries of what humans can do to their bodies”.
The Pogues frontman, best known for classic Christmas hit song Fairytale Of New York, died last week at the age of 65. The song is now battling to score the coveted Christmas number one spot, a feat which was not achieved when it was originally released in 1987, having peaked at number two in the charts.
Victoria Mary appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain today where was interviewed by Ed Balls and Susanna Reid. She said: “I don’t think Shane would mind too much if Fairytale goes to number one. “I don’t think it was ever that important to him, because I think that he really appreciated the fact that so many people love it and it means so much to so many people, and being number one isn’t really all about being appreciated.” Asked how she felt about the song when she first heard it before it was released, she said: “I think I might have thought it was a little bit cheesy at the time. “Sometimes these songs did seem a bit cheesy, but then, when you heard them properly, you get it, you know? “I often criticised his songwriting, which didn’t go down too well.
I do love it now.” Fairytale Of New York features a duet between English singer Kirsty MacColl – who died in December 2000 – and MacGowan.
