He's never looked well, even when he was young. But you're right, it looked like the hospital sent him home so he could say his farewells

McGowan at a very early gig by The jam.

Supposedly it was him who got the Polydor A&R guy to go and watch and subsequently sign them to the label.

Hey....Bruce Foxton! He was with Stiff Little Fingers when I saw them many, many years ago. Not a very good fit for that band, but he got the job done.
