Hundreds of people said goodbye this Tuesday to the Irish musician Glen Hansard, who died last week at the age of 56 in a motorcycle accident, with an emotional funeral that brought together family, friends, and artists at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. The ceremony was attended by musicians such as Bono, Eddie Vedder, Hozier, Imelda May, and actors Steve Coogan and Chris O'Dowd. From the early hours of the day, followers and musicians filled the temple and performed songs by Hansard, who won an Oscar for best original song for Falling slowly, composed jointly with Markéta Irglová for the film Once, which they both starred in. From the giant screens installed in the cathedral gardens, an emotional crowd followed the funeral, which was also broadcast live on various local and international television channels.
