The singer's wife and bandmate, Bridget Regan, said she believed King was "on the other side" of a health crisis that forced the band to put their performance plans on hold

Flogging Molly frontman Dave King suffered a brain hemorrhage and spent two weeks in a coma earlier this year, according to a new statement from his wife and bandmate, Bridget Regan.

In a post shared on Flogging Molly’s social media pages, Regan offered new details about her husband’s recent health crisis, which forced the band to put their performance plans on hold indefinitely. At the time, Flogging Molly said only that King was “battling a very serious health condition” and that they would share details when they could.

In her new note, Regan said King suffered a brain hemorrhage on Jan. 24 and “underwent two subsequent surgeries to save his life.” He then spent two weeks in a coma, she added, “followed by varying stages of treatment and recovery.”

Most recently, on Feb. 28, King “underwent yet another surgery,” with Regan saying she now felt “confident we are on

the other side of this.” She continued: “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.”

Regan went on to thank King’s neurosurgeon and all the medical professionals who’ve looked after him over the past few months. “Your extraordinary level of care was also integral to him being where he is today,” she said.
