Shane’s wedding plans to go up in smoke

Hard-living singer Shane MacGowan has insisted on getting married in a tent so he can smoke through the ceremony and the reception at his planned wedding in Ireland this summer.

The gap-toothed frontman has told friends he will only marry in Ireland if he can erect a wedding marquee and smoke to his heart’s content.

Shane, 49, is set to tie the knot with is long-term, on-off girlfriend Victoria Clarke in September.

A close friend revealed: “Shane’s biggest nightmare is having the most special night of his life ruined by the smoking ban. He wants to get a huge marquee erected for all the guests and maybe even stage the wedding blessing there too.

“Anyone who knows Shane sees that he has a fag in his mouth every 15 minutes.

“It would be impossible for him to go without a cigarette for the whole day.”
