MacGowan has been open about his battle with addiction, and in 2015 had a full set of teeth implants installed after decades of abusing alcohol and drugs destroyed his real ones. He has used a wheelchair since he broke his pelvis in 2015, has been in and out of hospital in recent years.
In 2021, the Irish star suffered a fall, breaking his right knee and tearing ligaments in his other. He never fully recovered following the incident.
MacGowan has been in intensive care for several months after first being diagnosed with viral encephalitis last year, which is said to have been exacerbated by shingles that spread to his eye.
MacGowan and wife Victoria Mary Clarke have been together for more than 35 years. They tied the knot in Denmark in 2018.
Sheesh ... one of the good guys

Wilf Lunn, madcap inventor and tricycle enthusiast who delighted children on Vision On, has died age 81.
His surreal inventions included a humane pigeon-catcher and a more sadistic ‘choirboy tuner’, with tongs to grip the singer's testicles.
Only on the Telegraph at the moment, and I'm not linking to that rag, so here's an interview he did with b3ta some years ago:

My brain mixed him up with Heinz Wolff, both stalwarts of my childhood. RIP to both.
