Shane MacGowan’s wife, Victoria May Clarke, has revealed how the late Pogues frontman felt about the success of his biggest hit, “Fairytale of New York”, as she reflected on their Christmases together.
MacGowan, who rose to national fame after co-founding The Pogues in 1982, was also born on Christmas Day in 1957, to Irish parents who raised him in Kent, England. He died on 30 November last year, aged 65.
