“The next day my manager Frank (Murray) came into the room and found me naked, painted blue. He almost cried and said ‘For God’s sake, you can get the blue out of your body’.”

Shane also had to miss a show in Japan in 1991 after falling out of a van and going into a coma.

When he woke up the next day, his colleagues called him to a meeting where they asked him to leave the group.

They fear his reaction, but Shane – who no longer has to tour due to songwriting royalties – is relieved.

He said: “I went, ‘Is that it? What took you so long?’ I was out, that was the main thing, and I didn’t have to tour anymore.

“It’s like a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel like I’m floating in the air and I’m free.”

He added: “He changed from that tour. He left and never came back. He just didn’t come back, not the Shane I knew.”

As the Pogues continue to tour and record without him, Shane tries to adjust to a life without music – which leads him to drink more and turn to heroin.

He explained: “Life has no purpose for me anymore, drugs and booze are more important to me than music. It’s not about me playing the music I want to play.

“Later I added heroin. Heroin is the drug you use when life is so hard that you have to cut it out completely, and that’s why I got addicted.”

His sister said: “Shane completely lost control. He was in the street painted black with psychic marks painted on him. So I have to dedicate him to St John of Gods. It was very difficult.

“I remember when he was leaving the ambulance he said, ‘I knew you were stupid, but I didn’t know you were this stupid’.”

But Shane survived, and in 2018 he celebrated his 60th birthday with a gala concert in Dublin’s National Concert Hall, where a host of big names paid tribute by singing his songs.

His sister said: “A great musician who saved Irish music. I think that’s what Shane wanted his legacy to be.” The two-hour film tells the story of how his life changed after he left his idyllic childhood in rural Tipperary and moved to London.

However, Shane stuck to his roots, which he combined with punk rock to reinvent Irish music for a global audience.

Looking back on his film career, Shane says his music was “for Ireland” but feels his music career was a “compromise” to join the IRA.

The star, who insisted he was not anti-British, said: “I’m compromised. I shouldn’t have gone astray. There’s been an Irish revolution in every century.

“It was a revolution of the spirit. I was always guilty of not giving my life for Ireland.

“I was ashamed that I didn’t have the courage to join the IRA – and the Pogues were my way of overcoming. I joined the revolution as a musician.

Shane also talks in the film about how he once thought about becoming a priest, given his religious upbringing in Co Tipperary.

He said: “The Roman Catholic Mass is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have. I got very high when I drank the host, the body and the blood that goes into you.

“My aunt Nora, who was the religious head of the house, made me a religious maniac out of four who studied the Catechism.

“It would have been progress for everyone if I had become a priest. It wasn’t until I turned 11 that I really thought about it. I saw how the priests lived. Free house, free booze – and the beauty of a fair.”

And Shane revealed his biggest wish for 2020 is to “write more songs again”. He said, “I’m doing everything I can to write songs, but I’m out of inspiration.” Shane is now in a wheelchair after an accident three years ago in Dublin.

CROCK of Gold — A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan is the best Irish film by an English director since The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

Director Julien Temple tells not only Shane’s story, but the story of Ireland as well as the Irish diaspora in Britain with a thunderous soundtrack.

You don’t need no subtitles, it will make you cry. At the end of the film, Shane’s sister Siobhan says that her brother wanted to be “like a great musician who saved Irish music.”

Speaking about her goals, she said: “I don’t feel fragile or broken or anything. I just want to regain my balance by going back.”

In a disclaimer after the film, Shane wrote: “I speak from the heart when I throw this thing up, I’m a stranger in my soul. Among those who will receive it, especially the Pogues family, including (manager) Frank . . . I offer unconditional love.
