Eddie Vedder Honors Glen Hansard on Grafton Street | Music News

Eddie Vedder paid a moving tribute to his late friend Glen Hansard by busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street — the very spot where Hansard began his career — playing Hansard’s guitar alongside local musicians. The emotional gesture followed Vedder’s heartfelt performance at Hansard’s funeral, where he joined Markéta Irglová and The Frames for a rendition of ‘The Song of Good Hope,’ with U2’s Bono also offering a spoken tribute. Their bond, forged after Vedder supported Hansard through a traumatic incident five days straight, blossomed into a 15-year friendship built on mutual respect and shared resilience. Hansard once called Vedder “a source of human kindness,” and this raw, unfiltered tribute stands as a powerful testament to their enduring connection.
