Last month, Flogging Molly fans were disappointed and concerned when the band announced that all 2025 gigs and tours had been canceled because frontman Dave King was dealing with some serious health issues. It was worse than most realized.

On January 24, Dave suffered a brain hemorrhage. This required two rounds of brain surgery, a coma, and one more operation. The whole story was told on the band’s Instagram account.

Fingers crossed. Hang in there, Dave.
