The Pogues’ Shane McGowan is finally marrying his longtime fiancée

Congrats!

A huge congrats is in order for Shane McGowan and his longtime fiancée Victoria Mary Clarke - they're tying the knot next week. According to the Irish Sun, Shane and Victoria - who have been engaged for 11 years now - will fly over to Copenhagen next week to say their vows. Shane’s long-term manager Joey Cashman told the publication that while he wishes them all the best, he unfortunately can't attend the wedding due to a family tragedy. He said: “It’s a private affair for the pair of them but I’d like to pass on my congratulations and best wishes to Shane and Victoria.” Meanwhile, on Thursday of this week Victoria took to Facebook to share a picture of her on board a plane with the caption, "Heading off on a secret mission." Many rushed to the post, saying that they were excited for the journalist. At the beginning of this year, Shane celebrated his 60th birthday, and it was quite a glamorous affair. Bono and Johnny Depp performed on stage together and Sinead O'Connor, Glen Hansard and Imelda May even made an appearance as well. However, it is said that no celebrity friends will be in attendance at his wedding.
