Shocked
Get well soon Philip, we're all thinking of you.

[Adam]

Distressing, but good that it was caught. Take care of yourself, and have a speedy recovery. We'll miss you this year, but look forward to seeing you next!

[neilinseattle]

My, and my family's, thoughts and prayers are with you Mr. C. You will be sorely missed this fall in the USA, but we look forward to your speedy return. Please take care and get well soon!

Best of luck, Philip. If there is such a thing as Karma your voice will be sweeter than ever once healed.

[Dean]

Be strong and be you. Get well soon Mr C.

My love and very best wishes to you Philip.

all the best...

[cougar]

My deepest, deepest thoughts and concern, man.
Its sad how it can take something like this to make one realize how much they immensely admire and respect a person and their mind.
Good luck, Philip.

[Low D]

Best wishes, Phillip. I hope all goes well. Rest up & super-load on vitamins or something.

[Johnny]

What are the Pogues without Phillip?! You have given untold insight to the band and to us fans. You are an absolute treasure in this modern world! Thanks for taking time and courage to be real. Here's to a speedy recovery and a healthy forever after.

[anfield boy]

I know with your fighting spirit, you'll recover and return to give the world your wonderful gift.

With every good wish,
Anfield boy

We´ll send all our love and spirit and everything we can to you, Mr Chevron. It´s almost impossible to describe what you mean to all of us Medusans.

Dear Sir,

After being grounded from the New York shows due to weather, none was more excited to see a west coast tour. Last year, I followed you guys thru the coast for all but two San fran shows. At the time, I thought I was crazy, insane, and/or compuslive. Looking back, I find it to be one of the coolest things I have done in recent years.

Furthermore, the role call during the 2004 December gigs was total class act.

However, it is hard to imagine going forward without the most charismatic member who holds the band together during tough gigs, interacts with the crowd more than anybody, and who became the public face of critisim last March for no good reason.

Please rest up and get well. In the meantime, very many thanks for the last six years.
