""They told my wife she may never see me again," he said on the new episode of the BrooklynVegan Interview Podcast. "[They said] if I did in fact survive, I would probably be a vegetable for the rest of my life." And then he added with a laugh, "But I'm a talking vegetable!" Dave 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. He also reminisced about the band's memorable first Warped Tour appearance, working with Steve Albini, and more.""
Flogging Molly leader Dave King suffered a traumatic brain injury earlier this year that doctors said nearly ended his life. He underwent three brain surgeries and spent three weeks in a coma. Doctors warned his wife he might never be seen again or could be a vegetable, yet doctors later described him as a "miracle." King has been steadily recovering, is writing new Flogging Molly songs, and is preparing to return to the stage at the band's October 2026 Salty Dog Cruise. He mentioned possible plans to play Warped Tour in 2026 and recalled working with Steve Albini.
