Philip Chevron, June 17 1957 to October 8 2013

Shabs, as I called him was a great influence on my life. He taught me how to be myself and how to move forward in my life proudly. "Be your own scene" he once told me. I once talked about things not being like "the good old days" he said "these ARE the good old days". He put a massive feather in my hat and it will always remain there! love you shabs hehehehehehehehe ;o) bubs x

The first time I saw The Pogues was in New York in 1990. Phil Chevron was simply amazing, as was the rest of them. I have been lucky to have seen them three times since, including at the June 2009 show at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin. Thank you Phil for all of the wonderful memories. Your presence will be missed deeply in the world.

One of the coolest things that ever happened to me was getting an email through Amazon from Philip. Eleven years ago I wrote a review on Amazon for "Straight To Hell," a movie they made which is near and dear to me and a bunch of friends from college when we discovered the VHS of it at a convenience store. We have held "Straight To Hell" parties for years, drinking coffee (spiked), watching the movie, quoting every line, singing every song. Philip Chevron actually saw the review, titled "The Greatest Work of Art Since The Vagina." Here's what he wrote, and this is, no shit, from him:

That's about the best review Straight To hell ever had!! I think I can just
about remember my line: "I...I...I can't do it Willy! Go on...get outta
here!" And then he shoots me! Subtext? Of course: I was in love with him!
Though I don't suppose that nuance shone through, huh? And there wasn't
much in the way of outtakes, incidentally. Unless you count the
camels....imported from Morocco at great expense and given their pink
papers after two days. I missed 'em, I must say. We spent the whole movie
drunk as skunks but it was a lot of fun watching fantasy blend into reality
and back again!!
All the best
Philip Chevron (The Pogues/"Ed MacMahon")

RIP Phil, from all the Gardeners

Thousands Are.....
undeniably sad at his passing. One of the finest songs ever written and performed by the Pogues... truly a work of genius.
RIP

This morning I just got friends with a man because we found out that we both loved the Pogues. It is so sad that we lose this wonderful musician who helps us to get to know and like each other.

[Pogues to Niagara]

We'll all miss you. Thanks for always being there for the fans!
