Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O’Connor talking about life and death has resurfaced following MacGowan’s death aged 65.The Pogues frontman’s death was confirmed today (November 30) by his wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, as well as his sister Siobhan and father Maurice.“It is with the deepest sorrow and heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Shane MacGowan.
Shane died peacefully at 3am this morning (30 November, 2023) with his wife Victoria and family by his side,” the joint statement read. “Prayers and the last rites were read which gave comfort to his family.”Now, an old clip of the pair has gained popularity for their eerie discussion on life and death.
The pair appeared on Kenny Live to discuss their duet ‘Haunted’ for the soundtrack of the 1986 film Sid and Nancy. MacGowan and O’Connor would eventually release the song as a single in 1995, the year the interview took place.After a brief discussion about the infamous couple, O’Connor opened up about her own mortality: “What are we all doing here, how does the earth hang in space and what’s going to happen to me when I die, is it going to be slow and painful?“But I think if you get through birth which is the most difficult passage then death is probably a breeze.”The host, Pat Kenny, then remarked that those who suffer from long illnesses often “slip away” and “stop fighting”, to which O’Connor responded: “Living is harder, probably”.Kenny went on to joke that some people, such as MacGowan, “make living harder than it need be”.
O’Connor disagreed, saying: “I don’t know, everyone’s different.“Everyone makes their own rules and lives their life according to their own things,” she continued.
