I’ve (kind of) held it together over the last couple of days but we were just driving through Nenagh on our way to Dublin and Rainy Night in Soho was blasting out of the @HibernianInn and that nearly did for me. RIP Shane ❤️
The @marywallopers asked me to do Jools Holland’s #Hootenanny with them, utterly cathartic after Shane’s funeral. On my way backstage I met one of the icons of my youth. He just went ‘Oh mate, come here’ and gave me a massive hug. #rodstewart#faces
‘We walked him to the station
in the rain
We kissed him as we put him
on the train
We sang him a song of times long gone
For we knew that we’d be seeing him
again’ 💚
‘Oh all the poets, they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes…’
