Shane MacGowan is feeling “much better” according to his wife and she is hopeful he’ll be returning home for Christmas.<\/p>\n

It comes after a spell of several months in intensive care as he battles viral encephalitis (swelling on the brain).<\/p>\n

His wife Victoria broke the news on Twitter (X) shortly after posing a photo of her husband hooked up to breathing apparatus, but managing to raise a smile.<\/p>\n

She wrote: “Shane is feeling much better today! I am so grateful to everyone who is willing him to get home for the Christmas!”<\/p>\n

Just three days ago, the 65-year-old’s former bandmates Spider Stacy and Terry Woods rallied around him during a hospital visit, and are believed to still be close to the iconic frontman.<\/p>\n

Spider had previously played the tin whistle in the group, while Terry had played the guitar and mandolin – and, according to Victoria, the blast from the past was appreciated.<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone who has been messaging me and \u2066@ShaneMacGowan\u2069 and thank you \u2066@spiderstacy\u2069 and Terry Woods for coming to visit him,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

“Love and prayers for everyone who is struggling right now. Hang in there!”<\/p>\n

Poorly Shane has suffered a number of health complications and is believed to have been admitted to hospital in July.<\/p>\n

According to the NHS website, encephalitis is “an uncommon but serious condition in which the brain becomes inflamed” and it can prove life-threatening.<\/p>\n
