FLOGGING MOLLY singer DAVE KING suffered a BRAIN HEMORRHAGE that left him in a COMA.
Last Month, Flogging Molly canceled their tour and announced that frontman Dave King was “battling a very serious health condition.” Now, the band has revealed that in late January King had suffered a brain hemorrhage and was forced to undergo life-saving surgery.
King’s wife and bandmate Bridget Regan shared the update to Flogging Molly’s official Facebook, confessing that after the surgery King spent two weeks in a coma. While the frontman is currently in recovery, his wife notes that his future remains “uncertain.”
“Hi everyone, I’ve wanted to reach out for some time, but it was necessary to wait until we were safely out of the woods first,” Regan’s post began.
“On January 24th, Dave suffered a brain hemorrhage and underwent two subsequent surgeries to save his life. He then spent two weeks in a coma, followed by varying stages of treatment and recovery. On February 28th he underwent yet another surgery and I now feel confident we are on the other side of this. He is now entering into the next phase of his recovery and wants nothing more than to play music again. The road ahead is uncertain but we, as ever, will roll with the punches and hope to see you all in the near future,” she wrote.
“I’d like to thank Dave’s neurosurgeon, Mr. Kieron Sweeney and his amazing team at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin. Thank you. Thank you for saving my husband’s life. To all of the nurses and staff in both St. Brigid’s and Richmond Wards, thank you. Your extraordinary level of care was also integral to him being where he is today.
“To friends and family whose support was unwavering throughout this ordeal, a heartfelt thank you. And a special thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and messages of support. Please look after each other and tell your people you love them. Life can change in an instant.
“Until we meet again, Bridget”
