Hozier said it beautfully:

"Glen’s legacy reaches far beyond that of an Irish or Dublin musician who’s work became beloved globally; he was a uniquely central feature and vehicle of Irish story telling on both stage, screen and street for as long as many of us can remember.

Glen is so indelibly tied into the life and breath of Irish music, and particularly the city of Dublin, that it feels utterly surreal to imagine that he could be gone from us now.

This morning, a motorbike accident.

It’s possible, though, that the Harry Styles story is the only one that doesn’t involve a photograph.

It goes like this. Out swimming at her local pool on Hampstead Heath recently, she dropped her ring under a tree. She couldn’t reach it. But help was at hand.

“Suddenly this man shot from behind me, threw himself down to the ground, shoved his hand down and picked it up. Guess who? It was Harry Styles.”

Four days later Edelstein was out for a coffee on her birthday with her daughter. A man walked up to her and said “We can’t go on meeting like this.” You can probably guess who.

“And that’s when I killed it,” Edelstein adds. Because that’s when she asked if she could take Style's photograph. “Can you imagine how many people ask?” '
