After the wife of Shane MacGowan posted on Instagram how Shane had another accident, fans are left wondering, “What happened to Shane MacGowan?”
The body of Shane MacGowan had already been left battered and bruised last Christmas, and now it seems he has had another mishap.
However, he left his home for the first time on December 20 after he broke his knee last time. Not only that, but he played a gig in Saint Patricks Cathedral.
The Irish musician, singer, and songwriter is hugely known for being the lead singer of the Celtic band Pogues. Years of binge drinking had taken a toll on MacGowan’s health, and he would frequently perform on stage while inebriated. Read on to know how he is faring.
What Happened To Shane MacGowan? His Illness And Health Condition
Shane MacGowan has fallen victim to various health conditions and illnesses over the years but especially last year.
After a broken pelvis rendered him shocked, he has been confined to a wheelchair ever since that fateful year in 2015. It was only about a year ago when he was admitted to the hospital during Christmas time after falling ill.
Shortly after he tore his ligament, he fell and broke his knee in February. He was bed-ridden for quite some time.
However, it seems he has had another accident. This may prove to be a major setback even though he had been doing quite well recovering from previous injuries.
Victoria Mary Clarke, the wife of Shane of 3 years, posted on Instagram some months back about how she was “mad, disappointed, and frustrated with life” after the latest incident involving her spouse.
Further details have not been forthcoming from either side.
