[CalientePocket100]

Luke was one of the greatest singers of all time- would've loved to have met him but he died 6 years before i was born. i know this might sound corny but he lives on through his music! Luke is Immortal!

R.I.P Luke, the epitomy of the rogueish irish man.

[attanasiodegilberti]

[irishgeal1]

lol, luke you were the wildest of all the wild rovers.

[meanmachine125]

no never no more

[anneyre]

Wow!

Listen to those crowds!

Absolutely loved him!

[irishgeal1]

dam you luke, you set the bar to high for us mere mortals.

[DancesWithLlamas]

Indeed! He's the iconic warrior-bard of gaelic/celtic legend.

I know its just a retail image, but true nevertheless. We should be glad he graced us with his presence on this earth.

[gateprofeten]

Well - Luke didn`t die of drinking, he was even sober for several years before passing away. He died of cancer through a recuring brain tumor. One of the hardest musical losses i can imagine :(

[feurzug]

he had 3 months to live at the recording of this - as i enjoy a brew listening to this - that his drink killed him. what can you say to hard truth?

[drunk2thepowerofsick]

no1 ever said drink killed him.. he died from a brain tumor.

[whingenjock]

if you listen to all the advice your dead no matter what you do so either enjoy life or sit at home in a protective suit

[TheMarymc]

the best irish export ever (with guinness)

[kevdabul]

wat a mab wat a song
