Glen Hansard Remembered Through Music | Music News

Eddie Vedder and fellow musicians took to Grafton Street in Dublin—where Glen Hansard once busked—to pay tribute after the late singer’s July 29th passing, performing “Black” and “Drive All Night” under the stars, with just a broken-string guitar and raw emotion. Organized by friend Murdo Mitchell, the impromptu show honored Hansard’s spirit even at 3 a.m., echoing his gift for connection. At Hansard’s funeral, Vedder sang one of his own songs, while Bono shared a Patti Smith voicemail and reimagined U2’s “Beautiful Day.” Hansard’s legacy lives on—not just in his music, but in how deeply he made everyone feel seen, loved, and like family.
