Victoria Mary Clarke, the wife of the late singer Shane MacGowan, spoke out about his death in a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram. She described the aftermath of losing her beloved husband as like 'being on the Titanic'.
Victoria thanked her fans for their messages of love and support, adding that she hoped Shane could see how much he was loved by so many people. She explained that although Shane was a shy man who didn't share his inner thoughts with many, he was a true humanitarian who sincerely respected all people.
She went on to talk about his small acts of kindness, saying that he never walked past a homeless person without stopping for a chat and to give them money. Victoria said that she found inspiration in his ability to be open-hearted with strangers, something which she now holds close.
Victoria also said that she was doing her best to focus on all of the blessings that Shane had brought into her life. She described him as 'the light that I hold before me and the measure of my dreams and the love of my life.'
The Fairytale of New York singer had passed away from pneumonia earlier this week, after battling a rare and life-threatening brain condition.
MacGowan had suffered from health issues for years, but had managed to pull through and celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary at home together. He was the lead singer of Celtic punk band The Pogues, and was best known for their Christmas song Fairytale of New York, which reached number 2 in the charts in 1987 and has gone on to reach the top 40 another 19 times since then.
Victoria's tribute was a beautiful reminder of the love and legacy that Shane leaves behind.
