I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS A THING THAT EXISTS. You can skip to 1:35 if you don’t want to listen to Glen Hansard being adorable. This is so great.

Glen Hansard, Oscar-winning singer-songwriter, killed in Dublin motorcycle crash

Academy Award-winning Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard has died in a motorcycle crash.

July 29, 2026

Academy Award-winning Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard died in a motorcycle crash in Dublin early Wednesday, his management said. He was 56.

"With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Glen Hansard in the early hours of this morning," ATC Management said in a statement to CBS News.

Irish police said a man in his 50s died in a single vehicle motorcycle crash in Lucan on the outskirts of the Irish capital before 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The man, who they did not name, was treated at the scene but was pronounced dead a short time later. CBS News partner BBC News reported that police are asking witnesses from the crash to come forward.

Hansard was born in Dublin in 1970, according to the BBC, and busked in the city. He made his acting debut in the 1991 film "The Commitments," playing Outspan Foster, a young working-class member of a Dublin soul band.

Hansard again combined music and acting in the 2007 indie musical film "Once," co-writing the movie's songs with Markéta Irglová. The pair also starred in the film. Hansard and Irglová won the 2008 Oscar for best original song for the number "Falling Slowly." A stage adaptation of the musical ran on Broadway from 2012 to 2015, winning eight Tony Awards, and has played around the world.

Elton John, Kiki Dee - Don’t Go Breaking My Heart (Live, Wembley, 1977)

from YouTube description:

This performance of ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ is taken from Elton’s concert at the Empire Pool, Wembley, on 3rd November 1977.

The audience's roaring reaction to Kiki Dee coming out for a rare performance of the song more than a year after the single had spent 6 consecutive weeks atop the Official UK Singles Chart made it clear that the song had lost none of its appeal.
