The Pogues’ frontman Shane MacGowan was known to enjoy a drink or two. Following his death, he made sure the drinks were flowing as he left behind $12,000 to cover the bar tab at his funeral.

The Independent reports that following the December 8 funeral, MacGowan’s friends and family gathered at the musician’s favourite pub, The Thatched Cottage, to drink in his memory.

“One of infamously hard-boozing MacGowan’s former drinking partners” told The Independent that MacGowan had given €10,000 to be used as the bar tab, saying it was “Shane’s last request”.

MacGowan died on Thursday, November 30th at the age of 65 from complications from pneumonia and viral encephalitis.
