Shane MacGowan's Teeth

Shane MacGowan is somewhat famous for his teeth, or lack thereof. Many of his teeth are missing; the remainder are rotten and/or crooked.
In his autobiography, A Drink With Shane MacGowan, MacGowan comments that the poor state of his oral health is due to several contributing factors:
Lack of brushing
Drunken fights in which he has been on the losing side
Alleged Police brutality in the late 1970s
The use of recreational drugs such as crack and crystal meth
In an article written by MacGowan's then girlfriend Victoria Clarke (see [1]]), it was claimed that Shane had further damaged his teeth by eating a copy of the Beach Boys Greatest Hits vol. 3 LP whilst under the influence of LSD.
MacGowan was quoted in the UK's Sunday Mirror newspaper as commenting that his teeth were rotten due to the effects of sugar in the many alcoholic drinks he had consumed.
Pictures of MacGowan taken following an alleged homophobic attack in 2004 — during which he was beaten about the head and face with an iron bar in an alleyway behind a London pub, show that he has very few front teeth remaining.
In December 2004, MacGowan inserted a pair of upper-jaw dentures (see [2]]) during a TV interview with Frank Skinner - commenting to the amused studio audience that the false teeth made him look "fucking stupid."
It was reported in 2005 that MacGowan was considering using money earned from the 2004 Pogues reunion tour to purchase a new set of teeth, due to concern that his rapidly-deteriorating dental situation is adversely affecting his singing voice.
