Clarke’s post on X comes just a few days after she posted a picture on Instagram of her kissing McGowan in his hospital bed.

She captioned her November 11 post in part: “But sometimes when you love very deeply you will find yourself facing terrifying fears of loss that can feel so big and devastating that you don’t know how you can survive them and you can’t imagine life without this person that you love.”

65-year-old MacGowan - his birthday is Christmas Day - has been hospitalized since the summer after an ICU stay for unknown reasons.

MacGowan last posted on X on October 4, saying he's grateful for all of the support he's been receiving.

The memories shared a common theme - warm reflections on wild times of the past.

Kevin Doherty replied: "Sitting on the plane at Heathrow waiting to fly to Belfast, heading home for Christmas. Plane full, captain comes on intercom to apologize for delay, waiting on one last passenger to board. 15 mins later on strolls Shane minus his shoes nodding to everyone as he walks down aisle!"

Andrew Watson posted: "1983 - got dragged along to see this group called Pogue Mahone at the Hope and Anchor in Islington expecting to see some sort of folk band; crawled out at the end of the night half deaf, exhausted and dripping with sweat having seen one of the best gigs ever."

Steve F recalled: "I was travelling to see The Pogues down at Brighton from London. I was running late and worried I'd miss the band take the stage. Lo amd behold Shane was in the carriage, with a table full of refreshments, wearing his Arsenal scarf. They were hardly going to start without him!"

Michael Jordan said: "Brixton Academy, Dec23rd 2001 stood right at the stage with 3 friends and a bunch of cans of Red Stripe SMcG comes on stage, strolls over, grabs a can, gives us a wink and the mayhem begins. One of the best gigs I was ever at!!!!"

Paul Hayward said: "1985, shared some pre-show drinks or 10 with the band, before the mayhem began. At one point ended up onstage singing Muirshin Durkin along with Shane, for reasons I don't remember. Well done he said...and I staggered off..."

Get well soon, Shane!
