Flogging Molly's Dave King Opens Up About Near-Fatal Brain Injury

Flogging Molly's Dave King Opens Up About Near-Fatal Brain Injury

Flogging Molly leader Dave King opens up for the first time about the traumatic brain injury that he suffered earlier this year that doctors say nearly ended his life. He was told by doctors as he was leaving the hospital that he was a “miracle.”

During our conversation, Dave spoke about the scary incident that required him to undergo three brain surgeries and led to him spending three weeks in a coma, and the road to recovery he’s been on every since. His mood was nothing but positive and uplifting, and he says that, considering what he’s gone through, he’s doing really well.

As he steadily recovers, he’s preparing to make his return to the stage at the October 2026 edition of Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog Cruise. He also mentioned potential plans to play Warped Tour in 2026 and he told us that he’s already been writing new Flogging Molly songs. He also reminisced about the band’s memorable first Warped Tour appearance, working with Steve Albini, and more.
