Shane MacGowan Warner Music tributes

30 November 2023 - Press release

Priscilla Kotey, SVP, Warner Music Ireland:

"Shane MacGowan was in a class by himself. His extraordinary gift for music, zest for living and rebellious nature cemented him as an icon in Ireland and all around the world. He will continue to influence artists everywhere. This Christmas season will feel much darker without his charismatic, illuminating presence. 

We have lost some true Irish legends this year, but we can feel proud their amazing artistry transcended our isle, and that their incredible music will live on forever.” 

Kevin Gore, President, Global Catalogue and Arts Music, Warner Music:

“Warner Music has been blessed to work with Shane MacGowan for more than four decades. We are honoured to have helped share his passionate, ambitious music with the world. We will proudly celebrate his legacy for years to come.”
