Barack Obama has paid tribute to Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard while sharing his annual summer playlist for 2026.
The former US President posted the selection of “some of the songs I’ve been listening to this summer”, adding: “It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week.”
The song in question is ‘Song Of Good Hope’ from the late Irish musician’s 2012 debut solo album, ‘Rhythm And Repose’.
