Shane McGowan, singer of the Fairytale of New York, has been rushed to hospital and his wife has asked fans to 'send prayers and healing vibes'. McGowan, 64, is frontman of The Pogues and has been in and out of hospital for medical care in recent years, reports The Mirror.
Wife Victoria May Clarke shared a picture of the music legend smiling on social media as she said he is back in hospital . She tweeted: "Please send prayers and healing vibes to @ShaneMacGowan in hospital again and really hoping to get out asap!! Thank you."
Shane has used a wheelchair since he broke his pelvis in 2015. Worried fans flocked to wish the singer a speedy recovery.
"Not at Christmas, the man is the sound of Christmas... I hope he recovers swiftly and not too much discomfort," one said. "Awh Shane! Bless him. Sending so much love his way. Hope he's back home in time for Christmas," another replied.
"At least he's still smiling. Wishing this legend a speedy recovery," another fan wrote.
A fourth said: "Sending all love and positive vibes your way. Hope things turn out okay soon. I’ll keep him in my prayers."
Shane's wife told the Irish Mirror that the singer is finding it 'frustrating' and wants to get out after being admitted to hospital last Friday.
"I’m definitely hoping he gets out this week. He’s a bit frustrated, I think. He finds it very frustrating… he wants to get out."
Shane and Victoria have been together for more than 35 years.
The couple tied the knot at Copenhagen City Hall in Denmark in 2018.
Their special day was attended by their close friend Johnny Depp, who sang at the wedding.
