Flogging Molly reveal frontman Dave King "spent two weeks in a coma" and "suffered a brain hemorrhage"

Last month, Flogging Molly canceled all their upcoming tour dates after it was announced that frontman Dave King was “battling a very serious health condition.”

The band have since revealed that King suffered a brain hemorrhage in late January and had to undergo life-saving surgery.

Bridget Regan, King’s wife and fellow Flogging Molly bandmate, provided the update on the band’s official Facebook page, revealing that after the surgery, King spent two weeks in a coma. While the vocalist is currently recovering, Regan emphasized that her husband's future remains "uncertain."

The full statement from Regan reads as follows:

“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.

"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.

"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”

Flogging Molly had planned to kick off a US tour on February 24th in St. Petersburg, Florida. The tour was set to culminate in the band's three-day “Shamrock Rebellion” celebration across Las Vegas, Tempe, and Los Angeles during St. Patrick’s Day weekend. However, all of these dates were canceled due to King’s health emergency.
