The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has been left bedridden after a fall in his home, which resulted in him breaking his knee.
After previously breaking his pelvis a few years ago, Shane has had trouble walking and his wife Victoria Mary Clarke has been caring for him.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Victoria shared, “He’s broken his knee so he’s in a cast and can’t get out of bed, he’s lost his appetite. He ate today for the first time in a day or two.
“He was literally getting from the chair to the bed and he fell, so you know he’s usually pretty good-humoured. Some days are better than others. He doesn’t complain about being in pain but it can be hard.”
“Shane doesn’t have any sort of disease but he broke his pelvis a few years ago and since then he’s had trouble walking.
“He tore a ligament and he was in a brace and just as the brace came off he fell and he broke the knee, so it’s been very tough. I do get help with the caring but he likes it when we can eat together and when I’m there.”
She then revealed that Shane is eager to record new music, “Shane is keen to get back on the road again and to record new music.”
