The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has been praying for "peace and love" during his current hospital stay, his wife Victoria Mary Clarke has shared.
Sharing a photo of Shane, 65, on X, formerly Twitter, Victoria gave fans an update on her husband's health, as she penned the caption: "Shane is praying for peace and love [heart emoji] for everyone in the world @ShaneMacGowan @poguesofficial."
Fans were quick to send well-wishes to the singer, with one writing: "Speedy recovery Shane. Sensing love to you both"
And another added: "Lovely! Thank you, Shane! We're also sending great energy right back at you, legend!"
"Thank you Shane and Victoria. May peace and love be at your side too. We need it so much these days. A warm hug from Belgium" penned a third.
While a fourth simply commented: "Thoughts and much love to you shane and all your family and friends. Amazing musician and person. Praying for health and happiness for you all"
In a previous update, Victoria shared that Shane was determined to soon return home.
She wrote: "Feeling really really grateful that @ShaneMacGowan is looking so bright today! And we as determined as ever to get home!
"Thank you [prayer hands emoji] a million times to all of the doctors and nurses and all of the staff and everyone who is visiting him!"
Shane has previously revealed that he has been suffering from swelling of the brain.
In a video posted on New Year's Eve, he told fans: "Hi friends, I'm sitting here suffering from encephalitis. The light is killing me… but I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and Happy Christmas.
"And many more, and all the luck in the world and all the love. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year, love Shane."
Shane was rushed into hospital in December and has been in-and-out since, with he and his wife hoping that he will be able to make it home for Christmas.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Victoria said: "The timeline keeps changing. It depends on him being able to get his strength up. It’s very difficult if somebody is immobile for any length of time, as Shane was before he went into hospital.
"It means you are prone to things like pneumonia and bed sores, which lower immunity and make you weaker.
"Shane has other complications which make it difficult for him to do the exercises he needs to do."
