Glen Hansard is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter-actor Glen Hansard (The Commitments, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Hansard, a cultural icon
Born in Dublin on April 21, 1970, Glen Hansard's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Irish history. Hansard's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Glen hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Glen Hansard as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 55.
Happy Birthday, Glen, you're the best!
