Apparently he was not blessed with a strong instinct for self-preservation. From the NYT obit:

"The Pogues would keep up their energetic recording and touring pace for several more years, even though Mr. MacGowan had become addicted to heroin in addition to his longstanding alcohol problems. Shows were missed. He was repeatedly injured in falls and struck by moving vehicles."

Itâs sad but Shane was one of those people that you have thought he died before he actually did. Great lyricist!

Frances Sternhagen, Actress Who Thrived in Mature Roles, Dies at 93

Her Tony-winning Broadway career included âDriving Miss Daisy,â âOn Golden Pondâ and âThe Heiress.â On TV she had maternal roles in âCheersâ and âSex and the City.â

A close-up portrait of Ms. Sternhagen sitting on a wooden chair and turning to face the camera, her right elbow propped on one arm of the chair and holding her chin in her hand. She wears a royal blue shirt and has shoulder-length gray hair.

She's played the "70-year-old woman" for 4 decades. One of those memorable, not-quite-so-popular that you remember their name performers. RIP

i very much enjoyed her. i'm sad to hear this. beautiful woman.
