Shane MacGowan's wife gives update on Pogues icon's health amid hospitalisation
Shane MacGowan’s wife has given a positive update on his health condition - almost a year after he was first hospitalised.
The 65-year-old music icon is reported to be suffering from viral encephalitis - which is an inflammation of the brain caused by a virus. Since December last year, Shane has been receiving treatment, with his wife, Victoria Clarke, 57, often giving updates about him via social media.
On Friday, Victoria shared another snap of Shane smiling from his hospital bed, while also giving an update on his condition. The Pogues frontman has been in intensive care since September this year, but there are hopes he will be well enough to be released before Christmas.

Earlier in the week, Victoria shared a lengthy Instagram post where she shared a snap of herself kissing Shane in his hospital bed and stated that her feelings of love are helping her support her husband during his health battle.
She wrote: "Love is the most beautiful and powerful thing that we can experience as humans but love can also feel painful especially if you are afraid of losing a person or anything else that you love. The really really big challenge that we all face is to go beyond what our minds think are the limits of love and what love really is. A lot of the time that thing we call love can more accurately be described as attachment or desire or need or longing or closeness or connection.
"And all of these are totally valuable and human and we need to acknowledge and appreciate and accept every part of our experience. But sometimes when you love very deeply you will find yourself facing terrifying fears of loss that can feel so big and devastating that you don’t know how you can survive them and you can’t imagine life without this person that you love."
She added; "we can choose to stay present with everything that unfolds and to feel as much as possible in every moment and we can be surprised that there are more moments of beauty and grace and even joy than we ever imagined. Stay tuned in to love no matter what is happening in your world and keep inviting all of your angels and guides to support you and know that love is always the best choice!"
