Background
In 2006, Gallagher left The Nervous Return to join Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker (both of blink-182 fame) and guitarist Craig Fairbaugh to form +44. He was brought in as a replacement for Carol Heller as guitarist in +44 after she left the band to start a family. In 2007, he officially became a member of The Mercy Killers and he went on tour with them. Once +44 took a break so Mark and Travis could focus on the new blink-182 record, Shane took a trip back to Indonisia where he met and fell in love with a small time banker named Shuripickit Ni' Mannsfield III. This was soon followed by a wedding and an adoption of their first son, William Joseph Mannsfield Gallagher. After a struggle with the local Indonisian police, Shane and his family moved back to the United States[citation needed]. In early 2011, the Mannsfield-Gallagher family bought their first home in Las Vegas, NV. He is currently involved in an acoustic project titled "A death to Stars" with Joseph O'Day, an ex-hand and foot model.
