Shane MacGowan has been receiving treatment for a series of health issues over the past year, and recently shared a photo from his hospital bed to celebrate his friend Tom Creagh's birthday.
The hitmaker, 65, could be seen wearing a hospital gown while lying in bed, a large crucifix around his neck, as well as what appears to be a nasogastric tube. Alongside the photo, Shane wished his friend a 'Happy birthday to the great Tom Creagh a living legend and a wonderful friend.'
This is not the first time Shane has been hospitalised in the past year. Last Christmas, he was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening brain condition called encephalitis, which caused his brain to swell. He was then readmitted to hospital in June for an unknown reason, and was looked after in intensive care.
Shane's wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, has been providing updates on his behalf over the past few months. Just last week, she shared a photo of him with a caption that read: 'Shane is praying for peace and love for everyone in the world.' This was likely in reference to the ongoing war after Hamas' attack on Israel, which has seen thousands lose their lives.
On October 3, Victoria expressed her gratitude for the fact that Shane was having a good day. She said: 'Feeling really really grateful that @ShaneMacGowan is looking so bright today! And we are determined as ever to get home! Thank you a million times to all of the doctors and nurses and all of the staff and everyone who is visiting him!'
The outpouring of love and support from his family and friends is a testament to the much-loved star's enduring spirit, and we hope he is able to make a full recovery soon.
