The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has been discharged from hospital for Christmas, his wife has said.
The Irish singer, 65, was diagnosed with encephalitis last year and has been treated at St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin.
His wife Victoria Mary Clarke wrote on social media that they were “deeply and eternally grateful to all of the doctors and nurses and staff” at the hospital.
MacGowan fronted The Pogues from 1982 until their break-up in 2014. The band are best known for the Christmas hit song Fairytale of New York.
