If you want to know how significant Glen Hansard was in his home country, this is the landing page of RTE - Ireland's National Public Broadcaster.

Glen Hansard also led the music at Shane MacGowan's funeral in December of 2023. He sang Fairytale of New York with an all-star band while mourners danced.

Now playing "Falling Slowly" on CBC's The Early Edition. Such a tragic loss. I'm gutted.

Oh my god. The BBC is reporting Glen Hansard has died in a motorcycle crash. He was just 56 years old. He was lead singer of the band The Frames, and won an Oscar for best song "Falling Slowly" from the film, "Once" in which he starred alongside Marketa Irglova. Such a tragic loss.

Call the neighbours! Wake the kids! The second of our Early Edition Mayoral Forums is on. This time with Rebecca Bligh, Kareen Allam and Colleen Hardwick. @jmcelroy.bsky.social and I will question the candidates live - and then bring you even more on our "This is Vancouver" podcast later today.

Waking you up on The Early Edition this morning with a song by Willow Avalon. "Pink Pocket Pistol." She plays the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver tonight.

Hey all, Stephen Quinn here from The Early Edition. My apologies - we are late getting on the air this morning due to unforeseen circumstances. We'll be on at 6:10 right after World Report. Seriously sorry about this. Mondays, huh?

Couldn't agree more with Kelly McBride from The Poynter Institute. Why would any legitimate journalist attend this thing?

Thank you! We were just discussing off air.
