<h2> <em>Roseland March 14 Cancellation<br /> A statement from</em>The Pogues </h2> <p> The Pogues regret the late cancellation of tonight’s show at Roseland, New York City. Shane MacGowan took an accidental tumble on a piece of stage equipment at the Boston Orpheum last Sunday (March 11) which required the band to slightly curtail that evening’s show. MacGowan’s injury, though painful, did not at first seem more serious than that, but he has had pain and mobility problems ever since. As recently as 5:00pm this afternoon, The Pogues (minus Shane, as is their custom) completed a soundcheck at Roseland and, at that point, there was no prospect of cancellation. As the band were leaving Roseland to return to their hotel before the show, news arrived from Shane’s doctor that the injury made his appearance tonight out of the question. We will update later with information about the remaining scheduled shows on the tour. Right now, there is nothing more to say except we wish Shane a safe and speedy recovery and hope we will be able to make good this disappointing development on another occasion. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Nice job Shane. I found out about this after I had already drove into the city but oh well. Hopefully Dave will still get laid.... </p>
