However, the 65-year-old Irish musician’s condition seemed to have improved since then, as renowned figures like Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream and country vocalist Daniel O’Donnell visited him during his recovery from the recent health setback.
Shane’s 57-year-old wife expressed gratitude towards the medical personnel who assisted her spouse during his time in the ICU.
She wrote: “You are so kind and thoughtful and it’s so helpful.
“Prayers for everyone who is in the hospital!! And immensely grateful to all the staff!”

Offering a candid update on the New Year’s Eve of 2022, the singer of “Fairytale of New York” posted a video to his X profile, just after he had been released from the hospital having battled an infection.
In the clip, Shane confirmed he was suffering from encephalitis – a rare and “serious” condition, according to the NHS.
Nevertheless, recent reports have revealed that the Kent-born music artist was brought back to the hospital last June and has been staying there since.
