Short story:

Shane MacGowan is ordered by doctors not to perform at a fundraising concert for his former bandmate Paul 'Mad Dog' McGuinness, in London, UK. He is reported to be suffering from "exhaustion".

Full article:

Dave Lally (co-organiser of fundraising show) : Shane was heartbroken he couldn’t do the show but the man is just not well. He’s exhausted. It was doctor’s orders that he take it easy and so he’s gone back to Ireland. He wasn’t well at Hyde Park either.

My co-organiser, Tom Creagh, went down to visit him at his hotel yesterday and he was totally out of it. His energy was just gone. He was zapped, just exhausted. The doctor was on the way at that stage. He wasn’t booked to go back to Ireland until tonight (Monday) but the advice was that he should go last night and rest up.

We’re trying to get some messages of support across to him. His sister just texted to say that he isn’t in good form; that he is bad. Things have obviously been bad over the years but this is one of the worst ones. So fingers crossed he’s okay.
