The Irish singer-songwriter hasn’t been in the best health since he broke his pelvis in 2015. In 2021 he fell and broke a knee, before tearing ligaments in his left knee, never fully recovering from the injuries.
In April he confirmed that he ‘can’t walk any more’.
He has also been open about his battle with addiction and in 2015 had to get a full set of teeth implants after decades of drink and using drugs destroyed his real ones.
Just last week he seemed in good spirits when he delighted fans by joining TikTok (pictured)

Shane sported a bushy beard and wore a black top which he teamed with a large silver crucifix necklace.
