    His missus must be more like his carer at this stage, it's sad what alcohol and drugs can do to someone.

    People are still very fit these days at 60 but he's like a 90 year old.

    There was a story that a few years ago she was on one of his benders and Victoria decided she had had enough so she left him.
    About three weeks later she became worried for how he was coping on his own. So she called the house and asked how he had been coping this last three weeks.
    "Whaaaaa"...was his response.

    Yep I get the sense that she was trying to distract from the situation with attempts at stupid jokes. Surprised McGowan tolerates such an obviously fake type around him but maybe he’s vulnerable these days.

    They're together 20+ years at this stage, maybe even 30. If she was a fake I'm sure he would have realised by now! Don't know how or why she puts up with him tbh

    Shane MacGowan is a legend, he has written some of the greatest songs ever written and has been a massive influence to many artists, but he’s never been good in interviews. He’s always been quiet and shy, and thinks before he speaks. Before you judge him on last nights interview, Due to breaking his pelvis Shane is now in a wheel chair and heavily medicated. Add D’Arcys terrible questions to the mix, we get what we got. Shane didn’t have much to say, so he didn’t say it. But when he did speak, he was funny and quick witted.

    If you wanna know what Shane really thinks... listen to his songs.

    I think it shows Irelands unhealthy view of alcohol - he is wheeled out,
    with a ****ing DRINK .. and vaping like a f*cking junkie - and the
    audience clap think its great - what a LEGEND!!
    People need to be ashamed of this if we wanna be serious in tackling our nations
    massive drink problem.

    It was like watching an interview with an advanced stage alzheimers patient.

    I thought the opposite. She seems like a very genuine, positive, compassionate and nice person. They clearly love each other. I think they have been together for nearly 30 years
