The late Shane MacGowan
The funeral of legendary musician Shane MacGowan is scheduled to take place in Nenagh next Friday.
The ceremony, which will be open to the public, is expected to be attended by a host of celebrities from the world of music and showbusiness.
Among those expected to attend is President Michael D Higgins.
Following the funeral Mass, Shane is expected to be cremated in a private family service.
The funeral arrangements, which have yet to be finalised, are being taken care of by Nenagh undertaker JJ Ryan.
The singer and songwriter died last Thursday following a long illness.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Victoria Clarke; father Maurice and sister Siobhán. Shane was predeceased by his mother Therese, whose family roots are in Carney Commons, Nenagh, and where he spent some of his childhood.
