When Glen Hansard took over in 2011 as the opening act for Eddie Vedder solo tours, he inherited duet duty on this song. Glen's guitar playing, singing voice and instantaneous connection with Ed endured for 15 years. RIP #tfh

Inspired by Damon Albarn's reflections on heroin use and the people around him, "Beetlebum" revealed a darker, more introspective side of Blur.

This live performance from 1997 captures Blur at a turning point in their career.
