Shane MacGowan, 60, MARRIES Victoria Mary Clarke, 52, in Copenhagen with Johnny Depp as guitarist

They’ve been together for 32 years and engaged for 11 – and Pogues’ singer Shane MacGowan finally made an honest woman of Victoria Mary Clarke on Monday.

The bride, 52, wore a long orange dress with a floral headdress and carried matching flowers, while Shane, 60, looked smart in a suit as he posed for pictures alongside A-list actor Johnny Depp and a host of guests. 

Shane has been wheelchair bound, on and off since a bad fall damaged his back a few years ago. He has a well-documented history of drink and drugs and famously got his teeth fixed in 2015 after losing the final one in 2009.

There’s the ring: Wheelchair bound Pogues’ frontman Shane MacGowan, 60, tied the knot with his girlfriend of 32 years, Victoria Mary Clarke, 52, at Copenhagen City Hall on Monday – they were engaged for 11 years 

Low-key: The couple had planned to have a secret ceremony together but realised that their close friends wanted to be there for them - including A-lister Johnny Depp, who played the guitar during the ceremony

Depp, 55, Shane’s friend of more than 20 years, played the guitar for the couple during the low-key ceremony, which was held at Copenhagen City Hall. 

Johnny appeared on Shane’s 1994 album, The Snake. He directed and appeared in the video for That Woman’s Got Me Drinking. Depp also put in a performance at the singer’s 60th birthday in Dublin earlier this year. 

Speaking to the Irish Independent, journalist and bride Victoria said ahead of the couple’s big day: ‘Shane and I are both introverts and we decided that the only solution was to just elope together to someplace that we know nobody and nobody knows us, and keep it a secret.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Shane and his loyal girlfriend is set to be made into a film, with Johnny thought to be in the running to play the singer.

‘We grabbed hold of each other and hung on for a ride that took us on for a ride that took us through a world of glamour and fame, creativity and ecstasy, drink, drugs and crazy, wild sex and on to madness, self-destruction and despair, violence, death, betrayal, rage separation and sadness and on and on towards revelation, renewal, compassion and hope for the future.’

She previously told the site that drinking was not her love’s only problem, and she once found him with a needle in his leg, but she said ‘you can’t help who you fall in love with.’

Victoria said: ‘When he answered the door to me after having missed his flight to the United States to open for Bob Dylan, and there was blood pouring out of his mouth because he had eaten a Beach Boys record, it looked as though it was the 100 tabs of acid that were the problem and not the gin and tonic.’
