Following on from Dave Grohl’s broken leg and Florence Welch’s foot fracture, Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has broken his pelvis following a fall on Tuesday night.
MacGowan’s long-time partner Victoria Mary Clarke took to social media to assure fans of the singer’s wellbeing, writing, “Just to say thanks to everyone who sent messages to #shanemacgowan he is grateful! Cranky, but recovering! Fell and broke his pelvis.
"Special love to everyone in hospital today, especially Shane and Sinead."
Clarke also joked that MacGowan suffered the injury while dancing. She wrote: "He broke his pelvis doing a complicated dance move!"
MacGowan’s injury didn’t require an operation, although he is receiving physio twice a day in hospital. Clarke has assured well-wishers that he is, "Cranky, but recovering!"
