SHANE MacGOWAN was kicked out of the five-star Connaught Hotel in London yesterday morning over a mysterious incident involving his bearded drinking companion.
Staff at the posh gaff accused Shane’s buddy of “soiling” an expensive Queen Anne antique chair.
THE POGUES frontman stuck up for his pal but hotel staff asked them both to leave.
I gather there was some dispute over whether a stain on the chair really was white wine or not.
The guys had been holed up at the hotel since Shane’s success at Monday’s Q Awards.
The hellraising singer was presented with a lifetime achievement award by close pal BONO.
A source told me: “Shane’s pal is always getting into trouble because he looks like Lord Lucan.
“He was once held by police who were convinced they’d tracked down the missing aristocrat. “In reality he’s a millionaire property developer.”
Shane is currently making preparations for a Christmas tour with the full original line-up of The Pogues.
