Episode Details

Dublin bid a heartfelt farewell to Glen Hansard at a public funeral held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, drawing hundreds who gathered in the park to watch the service on giant screens — blending solemnity with a festival-like spirit. Music legends like Eddie Vedder, Steve Coogan, and Hozier joined friends and family from Ireland’s vibrant music scene. Inside, Colm Mac Con Iomaire and Lisa ONeill performed, Richard Hansard delivered a touching eulogy, and Vedder sang with Markéta Irglová. Bono recited a poem and led a sing-along before the emotional finale: a massive group rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” as Hansard’s coffin was carried out — echoing the iconic Shane MacGowan send-off. Attendees described it as a beautiful, unifying tribute to a musical icon.
