Shane MacGowan's Widow Recalls Life of Chaos, Plans to Release Unpublished Songs

Victoria Mary Clarke describes life with the late Pogues frontman as living on the 'edge of some kind of actual destruction', but maintains a connection with him after his death.

Shane MacGowan, the late Pogues frontman, lived a life of extreme substance abuse and chaos, as recalled by his widow Victoria Mary Clarke in recent interviews.
Clarke described their life together as living on the 'edge of some kind of actual destruction', with MacGowan often setting fire to things and taking large amounts of drugs.
Despite the chaos, Clarke remembers MacGowan as a sensitive soul, constantly thinking of words and needing something to write them on.
Clarke plans to release a book of MacGowan's 'unpublished' songs, many of which were written about her.
Clarke believes she still maintains a connection with MacGowan after his death, stating 'I’ve actually been doing fine, because I feel like he’s still here.'
