He could very well be an end of year hit. His wife did speak of "terrifying fears of loss"; he cannot have too much longer to go.

He does feel like a Christmas time death.

His birthday is Christmas Day, at which point his best known song will be somewhere in the top ten.

Bandmates pay him a visit while his wife asks for prayers for those who are struggling.

 

 

Defo think he could end up being the final hit of the year or the first of next year if he's on the list.(which he surely must be)

Hell yeah, be bad timing if yer man carked just at the start of the Christmas party season when the world and his hard-working dog set out to get hammered and forget worrying about the consequences.

Oh god he looks awful, even worse than a week ago. Doubt he will even see Chrismas at this point

Just posted in the Advent Avalanche form guide, he only has to see the first minutes of 1 Dec to score in that pool!

I even doubt we're talking weeks here, a sweepstake wouldn't be such a bad idea

I did a sweepstake in late August.

Nine days ago he wasn't even on oxygen, on Sunday he had a nasal cannula and now it seems he's on some kind of BiPAP or high flow oxygen. Sharp decline in a relatively short time.

He'll either be dead by the end of the year or early next year. As someone posted a while back in this thread, we're not even sure if he can get out of bed. The fact that a few music legends like Bruce Springsteen traveled to visit him might not be the best sign either. Jimmy Buffett in his last days had several musicians visit him, including Paul McCartney. I know Shane's wife is trying to be positive about all of this, but it has to be very difficult and demanding for her, although hopefully his doctors and nurses are trying to take the burden off. If he does make it to the beginning of '24, he should be somewhere in the top 10.

[gcreptile 10,234]

IF he makes it, the committee should be bold and put him at no. 1.

Jimmy Carter isn't dying anyway 

[msc 17,762]

That report says Spider Stacy, his old Pogues bandmate, has been to visit him now. Spider lives in New Orleans so if he's rushed off to Dublin now, that doesn't sound great news for Shane imo...

MacGowan is surely a better bet, but there was a Jimmy Carter sweepstakes attempted 8 months ago which I certainly regret…

Not sure why she is constantly posting pictures like that of him. He looks horrific.

I have a good feeling (judging by his latest photo) he will be gone before January 1st.

Last hit of the year; 

 

it must be extremely heartbreaking for his wife to see him like this. 
 

let him be at peace he has struggled for far too long, sheesh.

He'll go right before xmas just like Kirsty McCall.

I predict a Christmas Day death. We’re overdue for a singer of a popular Christmas song to die on Christmas again (a la Dean Martin, Eartha Kitt, and George Michael)

Also his 66th birthday will be Christmas day. It's written in the stars

I foolishly forgot to include him on my shadowlist this year, looks like my wishing paid off!
