Shane MacGowan, the singer of the famous Irish group The Pogues, has been in hospital for the past year receiving treatment for a series of health issues. Last Christmas, he was hospitalised with encephalitis, which caused his brain to swell. In June, Shane was readmitted to hospital, though the reason for this remains unknown.
His wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, has been sharing updates on Shane's behalf. Recently, she posted a photo of him on Twitter, smiling up at the camera from his hospital bed while wearing a hospital gown and a crucifix around his neck. The tweet read: "Shane is praying for peace and love for everyone in the world".
The message was understood as a reference to the recent war between Hamas and Israel, which has seen thousands of lives lost. Fans were quick to send their well wishes to the star, with one writing: "You're a good man Shane". Another said: "Wishing Shane much peace and love back".
Victoria last posted about Shane's health on October 3. Alongside a picture of him, she thanked the doctors, nurses, and staff who had been caring for him, adding: "Feeling really really grateful that @ShaneMacGowan is looking so bright today! And we as determined as ever to get home!"
