Glen Hansard, motorbike crash.

Jesus, that's shocking

Wasn't really into his music  that much , but he was very talented all the same. He'll always be  Outspan to me.

Very sad RIP

Devastated to hear about Glen just now. I have seen him a few times and that's a real punch in the gut.

Was lucky enough to meet him a few years back at a gig in Kerry. A true gentleman who could put things the way few others can.

Hard to stomach never getting to listen to him again.

Rugged Lane,
I know that road well, not too far from where I am.
It's a narrow steep windy road.

Glen Hansard, motorbike crash.

f**k. 

Saw him at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park this past April.

Brilliant gig and performer.

RIP.

A really sad one.
I have probably seen him live more than any other performer. His Christmas gig for the homeless in vicar Street became an annual tradition.
RIP Glenn

Glen Hansard was a story teller with great presence on and off the stage. What he did for the homeless was to be admired.

The really sad part is he became a father a first time aged 52, a Son that will probably be too young to remember him now.

Gutted to learn about Glen Hansard this morning. Have seen him a number of times, amazing energy and vigour. Would have blown the roof of Wrigley Field if it had one as an opening act a few years ago.

Such a loss for his family, friends, and fans.

The world is a cruel place when good souls like Glen Hansard are dead at 56 and rotten evil c***ts like Netanyahu and Trump live to a ripe old age.

Trump goes around in an armoured car, not a motorbike.

Get the sense this could be nudging towards a couple of pints at the music session before getting on the bike. I hope that it is not the case, the hand wringers are already out over the age of Marketa Irglova when they first met.

Saw some of that yesterday. Some sad cases about.

. Some sad cases about.

Not the sort of thing that should be dismissed out of hand surely? If it was your daughter I doubt you'd be quite as forgiving just because he happened to be a famous musician. The man had a reputation.
