Tori Amos paid tribute to the late Glen Hansard by covering The Swell Season's "Falling Slowly" during a concert in Boston. Hansard, frontman of The Frames and one half of The Swell Season, died on 29 July 2026 following a motorcycle crash in Dublin, aged 56, prompting tributes from figures including Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Billie Eilish.

Amos performed the tender piano rendition at the Leader Bank Pavilion on 31 July while touring her latest album, "In Times Of Dragons". "Falling Slowly", written by Hansard with bandmate and Once co-star Markéta Irglová, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2008. Hansard's family has announced a public wake at Dublin's Irish Museum of Modern Art on 3 August, followed by a funeral at St Patrick's Cathedral the next day, to be broadcast on RTÉ News and RIP.ie.
