Shane MacGowan, lead singer of The Pogues, is back in hospital for fresh medical treatment.

The Pogues lead singer Shane MacGowan has been admitted to hospital for treatment, his wife Victoria Mary Clarke has revealed.

The 64-year-old, who has battled with alcohol and drugs issues in the past, has been using a wheelchair for the last seven years after breaking his pelvis in a fall.

The cause of MacGowan's latest hospital trip is unclear, but Clarke asked fans to "send prayers" in a post on social media.

Alongside a picture of her husband, she wrote: "Please send prayers and healing vibes to @ShaneMacGowan in hospital again and really hoping to get out asap!! Thank you 🙏"

MacGowan is best known for his vocals on the Christmas classic 'Fairytale of New York' alongside the late Kirsty MacColl.
