Arctic Monkeys Attend Shane MacGowan's 50th Birthday

The stars were out in force last night (December 9) for Shane MacGowan’s 50th birthday party at The Boogaloo Bar in Highgate, North London.

A suitably pissed and pasty looking MacGowan held the event at his favourite hangout – a haunt which a certain Pete Doherty often frequents.

As well as demolishing his king-sized birthday cake, MacGowan found time to treat those in attendance to a short set featuring ‘Gloria.’

Those in attendance included his band The Pogues, three of the Arctic Monkeys, The View, Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland, The Horrors and some members of Madness.

Still defying medical science with his debauched ways, it’s surely almost certain that Mr MacGowan will still be with us come his 60th birthday.
