Eddie Vedder and Markéta Irglová perform "The Song of Good Hope" alongside Thomas Bartlett and The Frames at Glen Hansard's funeral at Dublin’s Saint Patrick's Cathedral today
RIP 🙏
Unlike Shane MacGowan, or Sinéad O’Connor, or Dolores O’Riordan, Glen Hansard’s was not a death foreshadowed, nor a life visibly damaged by trauma and the things people reach for to manage it. He was 56 and, by every account, in the middle of a good life https://t.co/CBBSdunL73
A memory to treasure forever 🥺 Just weeks before his tragic death, Glen Hansard shared this beautiful video of himself singing while carrying his son, Christy, through the hills of Uisneach.
The Once star had recorded the performance in memory of his friend Manchán Magan, an acclaimed Irish writer and broadcaster who died last year - but it has since taken on an even deeper meaning. Glen is survived by his wife, Finnish poet Maire Saaritsa, and their three-year-old boy 🤍

"Buskers tribute to Oscar-winning musician Glen Hansard in Dublin 🇮🇪 this evening with a collective version of Falling Slowly, which he co-wrote with Markéta Irglová."
Glen Hansard, 1970-2026.

“Hansard’s music was about embracing wonder alongside restlessness, about letting in the light alongside the dark, about trying to sort out the beauty & pain that comes with it all being too much to take.”
Remembering Glen Hansard 🖤

Glen Hansard reflects on busking in Dublin and what makes people stop and listen.
Recorded during our recent XS Noize Podcast conversation.
Rest in peace, Glen.

@actingjoe Just having a Guinness to Glen and decided to watch 'It's Just A Band' (Frames docu) and had forgot but at the beginning he's warming up for an Olympia gig, and as he walks past photos of all who have played there, starts singing ... 'A Parting Glass' 😔
