Singer/songwriter, co-creator of the greatest Christmas song of all time, IMO:

Plenty of other classics under his belt.

RIP legend

Damn, RIP King.

RIP man s/o p.s. i love you for introducing me to the band when i was a kid

RIP, Fairytale of New York is an absolutely classic Christmas song, possibly the best ever

The boys of the NYPD choir stood singing 'Galway Bay'

the song that made me pick up a mandolin

rip

crazy he survived this long

What a f***ing song

fairytale of new york is the quintessential irish christmas song. impossible to miss at this time of year

in that sense he'll be with us for a long time to come, rest in peace
