Shane MacGowan says he doesn't sleep for an entire week when he's on an booze bender.
The infamously debauched Pogues singer says he only catnaps occasionally, but while drinking doesn't usually go to bed for seven days.
He told Mojo magazine: “I generally stay awake for about a week.
“I get catnaps, and then when I'm really exhausted I crash out for a good long while and carry on, you know what I mean?”
Asked whether he had an plans to change his hedonistic lifestyle, MacGowan added: “What I'm interested in is having a great time, and the audience having a great time, and living as long as I possibly can.”
Shane MacGowan - aged 52 and still defying science.
