“The Pogues frontman had a reputation as a hard-drinking man, so I was surprised when I was asked to photograph Shane at 11am in a fancy French restaurant in Camden Town. When I arrived, Shane was already there for the interview. He had by then a well-established format for excessive consumption; a swig of Guiness was followed by a swig from a large tumbler of brandy, then a spoonful of French Onion soup, a drag on a cigarette, and back to the Guiness in a tight, rapid rhythmic sequence. He didn’t miss a beat. I took him outside for the photo and he was remarkably clear-headed, eloquent and witty. I asked him if he could take his sunglasses off, but he refused in no uncertain terms.” David Corio
