Phil Chevron, longtime guitarist for Celtic-punk greats the Pogues, has died after a lengthy battle with head and neck cancer, the Independent reports. The 56-year-old musician had last appeared publicly in August, when a host of artists -- among them Pogues singer Shane MacGowan -- staged a fundraiser in his honor.
