Music legend Shane, 65, has been treated for viral encephalitis — an uncommon and serious condition in which the brain becomes swollen – since last December.
The rocker contracted shingles while in hospital, remaining there for just over a week before returning home in time for Christmas.
Taking to Twitter, wife Victoria Mary, 57, informed fans that Shane had spent several days in the intensive care unit.
However, Ms Clarke didn’t specify what health issue the music star was battling.
Sharing an image of the smiling couple in MacGowan’s hospital room, Ms Clarke wrote: “I just wanted to thank everyone who is sending love and prayers for @ShaneMacGowan we really appreciate it and bless all of you and anyone anywhere who is having health challenges.”
