Pogues icon Shane MacGowan has thanked his “brother” Johnny Depp for joining him to celebrate his new documentary at a party in Dublin over the weekend.
Global star Depp was spotted partying with MacGowan and Love/Hate actor Robert Sheehan in Dublin’s Light House Cinema in Smithfield. They were celebrating the launch of MacGowan’s documentary A Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan.
This film was also made by Julien Temple. It also follows the life of Shane MacGowan. The singer was known for being the frontman of Irish punk band The Pogues.
It will also include archival footage of the band, along with interviews from Gerry Adams, Bono and of course Depp.
