2004 erlitt er einen Schlaganfall, der ihn halbseitig lähmte. Durch eigene Anstrengungen schafte er es, sich zu 85% wieder herzustellen! Dies hat er als Zeichen verstanden, langsamer zu agieren, und er hat eine Foundation ins Leben gerufen, um anderen mit Spiritualität zu helfen, das Leben langsamer anzugehen - Respekt!!!

A documetary by Julian Temple in 2011 on Dave Davies, lead guitarist and vocalist for the English rock band The Kinks.
In 2004 he suffered a stroke, this is what he wrote in 2006 in the Daily Mail about it:
"I was told I’d had a stroke - or, in medical terms, a cerebral infraction. An ‘infarct’ is an area of dead tissue and there was a patch of it on the left side of my brain - the bit that controls movement on the right side.Her we go - the documetary :-)))
The doctors told me I had high blood pressure and that this was what had caused the stroke. They thought I’d probably had high blood pressure for at least ten years….
...Two weeks after my stroke, I finally plucked the courage to pick up my guitar. I held it across my lap, pressing on the strings. I could feel everything but the hand itself was virtually immobile.
I knew I was going to have to work very hard if I was to get better, and I started using meditation and visualisation. I thought if I could visualise myself running, walking and playing the guitar, it might prompt my brain to remember how I used to be.
I believe my stroke was meant to happen to slow me down. I’d like to write and male films and start a foundation where I can help people be more spiritual…
...For now I appreciate my slower pace of life. I feel I have discovered an inner strength which I know will see me through any adversity."
