The FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK singer suffered severe damage to his knee ligaments after taking a tumble from the stage during a show in Boston, Massachusetts on 11 March (07) and was still not fully recovered in time for the reunited group's New York concert.
In a statement, the band's management says, "Shane is under constant medical supervision and analgesic control."
As WENN went to press, last night's (15MAR07) Roseland Ballroom show and a third on St Patrick's Day (17MAR07) were expected to go ahead as planned.
A Friday night (16MAR07) concert at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Electric Factory was also slated to take place, despite MacGowan's injury.
