Glenn Hansard, the Irish singer-songwriter who got his start busking on the streets of Dublin and later became famous for playing a Dublin street musician in the Irish film Once, died Wednesday from a motorcycle crash.
He was 56.
Irish President Catherine Connolly said Hansard would be remembered as one of Ireland's great singer-songwriters.
Bruce Springsteen, who invited Hansard in 2013 to join him on stage during a show in Kilkenny, said, Here on E Street, we are heartbroken.
We met in Ireland many years ago, and he was nothing but a great musician, a good friend, and a generous and gracious man.
Glenn Hansard formed the rock band The Frames in the 1990s, made his film debut in The Commitments playing guitarist Outspanned Foster, and won an Oscar for co-writing the song Falling Slowly for the film Once, in which he starred as a struggling musician.
The movie was later adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical.
Hansard went on to release a number of albums as a solo artist, and he was an advocate for the homeless, performing at an annual Dublin Christmas Eve busk to raise money for people at risk of homelessness.
The low-budget indie Irish film that became an international success, titled Once, was written and directed by John Carney, who previously had been in Hansard's band, The Frames.
Hansard wrote the music for the movie.
In 2008, Terry Gross spoke with Glenn Hansard and with Czech singer Marketa Erglova, who co-starred in the film.
Let's begin with the Oscar-winning song Falling Slowly, which they co-wrote.
How come you don't play during daytime?
I see you every day.
She's dead?
