POGUES legend Shane MacGowan’s father has begged his son not to drink himself to death — days after revealing he has hepatitis.
Maurice MacGowan, 78, spoke out after the toothless rocker went on a gin and cider binge, with docs having warned another drink could kill him.
Medics ordered him to stay sober for six months but he fell off the wagon after just three weeks.
Maurice said: “Shane must heed the doctor’s advice. He’s had scares before but hepatitis is serious.
“He has had a very good run on the drink but he must remember he is mortal.”
Shane, 50, revealed he had hepatitis at a Pogues gig on Thursday — after downing drink at FOUR pubs.
The singer, who claims to have started drinking at the age of four, then fell on his backside and had to grab hold of his female duet partner to get back on stage at a show on Friday.
