Glen Hansard
Glen Hansard, frontman of The Frames and Oscar winner, killed in road crash
The well-known singer died in a crash at the Strawberry Beds near Lucan in West Dublin in the early hours of this morning.
Hansard and The Frames were a key part of the Irish music scene in the 1990s and 2000s, and he later gained wider fame through the movie Once and its soundtrack.
President Connolly described him as "one of the vital driving influences of the Irish music world".
