Flogging Molly’s Dave King battling “very serious health condition”; all 2025 shows cancelled
”Any good thoughts or prayers you can send Dave’s way, he and we would appreciate it,” the band says.
Celtic punk veterans Flogging Molly have posted some sad news: band leader Dave King is “currently battling a very serious health condition” and the band “will be unable to perform shows in 2025” as a result. Their full statement reads:
To our family, friends and fans,
Our fearless leader, the inimitable Dave King, is currently battling a very serious health condition. Dave and Bridget ask everyone to respect their privacy at this time, we will share as we can. Any good thoughts or prayers you can send Dave’s way, he and we would appreciate it.
Unfortunately Flogging Molly will be unable to perform shows in 2025. With the Salty Dog Cruise 12 days away, the boat will sail as planned with 18 bands, and members of Flogging Molly, on board to celebrate the cruise, the community and our captain, Dave King.
Thank you,
Flogging Molly
