He went on to break his knee and tear ligaments and has been using a wheelchair since his injuries. She wrote: “Please send prayers and healing vibes to @ShaneMacGowan in hospital again and really hoping to get out asap!! Thank you”.One person said: “Not at Christmas, the man is the sound of Christmas and the line "you're the measure of my dreams" are the words I dream a man will finally think of me one day. He sings to my soul, I hope he recovers swiftly and not too much discomfort”.
A third person wrote: “Sending lots of healing prayers and energy Shane’s way! Hope he gets better very quickly and out of the hospital right away!”
