Glen Hansard, the Irish folk-rock musician and actor who fronted the band the Frames and had Oscar-winning success with the 2007 film Once, has died aged 56. He died in a motorcycle crash in Lucan on the outskirts of Dublin, early on Wednesday morning. Without naming him, Irish police said he was treated at the scene for his injuries but died a short time later. Hansard was also the frontman of the Frames, who released six studio albums, including 2004 Irish chart-topper Burn the Maps. Buoyed by being signed to Island Records, he recruited a range of local musicians and they released their debut Another Love Song in 1991.
