"Musical Tributes and Farewells: Shane MacGowan's Funeral Remembered"

Nick Cave paid tribute to Shane MacGowan at the late singer's funeral by covering The Pogues' song "A Rainy Night in Soho." Other musicians, including Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill, also performed during the funeral, and mourners sang MacGowan's iconic songs as the procession made its way through Dublin. MacGowan passed away at the age of 65 from complications of pneumonia and viral encephalitis. Cave described him as a "true friend and the greatest songwriter of his generation."
