MacGowan, who will turn 65 on Christmas day, is permanently confined to a wheelchair after he fell and broke his pelvis in 2015, subsequently breaking his knee and tearing ligaments in 2020.

The musician recently launched a limited edition art book, titled The Eternal Buzz & The Crock of Gold. The new release features essays, portraits, and song lyrics, including some early versions of Pogues tracks.
