The Fairytale of New York singer-songwriter, who was 64 years old at the time, had also been diagnosed with shingles, which had spread to his eye. As a result, he was compelled to spend several days in a facility in Dublin.

Victoria Mary Clarke, a journalist, has admitted to feeling disturbed about her current predicament, and she has given her compassion to anyone else who feels the same way. This is despite the fact that Shane returned home the previous week.

“I just want to convey that I am feeling really extremely overwhelmed and hopeless today therefore sending sympathy and love to everyone who is hurting right now,” she stated on Wednesday. Let’s not give up just yet, and let’s keep our fingers crossed that things will get better. #Christmas is not a time to be taken lightly!

If treatment is not administered, untreated encephalitis can result in death in ten percent of patients. Seizures, hearing loss, and blindness are also possible side effects in severe cases, and all three of these conditions may be long-lasting.

As soon as MacGowan was eventually permitted to return home, Victoria tweeted an update to Pogues supporters, saying, “Shane is home and we are going to watch the football!”

“Thank you to everyone who has been sending me messages, and blessings to everyone who has a loved one in the hospital or who is now staying at the hospital themselves, as well as blessings to the medical staff!”

After MacGowan’s health took a turn for the worse, the author recently acknowledged to feeling “freaked out” and recounted how her fears increased over time as a result of the situation. She explained, “I have been worrying about it for such a long time that it sort of comes in waves – whenever something happens to him, then I freak out.”

Shane MacGowan – ‘Feeling Helpless’

Since he was a young adult, he has never been one to shy away from taking risks. Since he was a young adult, people have been attempting to forewarn him that his death was imminent.

“The hospital informed me that shingles can spread to a person’s brain, and that is exactly what happened to Shane; as a result, they want to keep him in on a drip for the next two weeks,”

The ardent advocate of healthy living went on to describe how frustrating it was for her to feel powerless in the face of Shane’s condition. Clarke shed some light on the situation and said, “You are genuinely irritated with them because you simply want them to look out for themselves.” But you can’t force somebody to care for themselves if they don’t want to. I have no idea why it’s the case, but it is. You have the impression that they might be able to enjoy better health if they were to just consume more meals rich in vitamin C and greens.

It irritates me even more since I am very obsessive with my health, so the fact that there are so many straightforward things you can do makes me even more angry.

“I have spent years and years trying to get him to eat healthier, and at one point not too long ago, only about three or four weeks ago, he started watching meditation videos on YouTube,” the author says. “I have spent years and years trying to get him to eat healthier.”

She continued by saying, “He is only 64, and on Christmas Day he will turn 65, so he is still youthful.”

Shane MacGowan Fans To The Rescue

Around thirty years ago, a physician in London predicted that he would pass away within the next half year. Now that Shane is still alive, the doctor has passed away. In the meantime, fans of The Pogues can help collect money for charitable organisations by purchasing a piece of MacGowan memorabilia.

Victoria disclosed that she and Shane are in the process of getting rid of Shane’s old chair to make room for his new chair, which the singer is excited to personalise.

She elaborated as follows: “We need to make room for a new chair for (Shane), so if there are any charitable organisations that want to take the cherished green chair that has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Spectator, please do let me know if you want to take it and auction it!”
