Suicide leap at Glen Hansard concert in California

Didn't Glen write a song called Falling Slowly? Wow.

Glen Hansard ought not allow this to ruin his career/life. Easy for me to say, but the dead man was, obviously, deeply troubled. Peace be with all involved.

I pray for the soul of this poor individual, Michael Edward Pickels, and for his family, may they find peace. I especially pray for the wellbeing of Glen Hansard, as this will undoubtedly shadow and impact the career of this unfortunate artist for the rest of his life! When a person reaches a point in their life, where the turmoil and pain, so overwhelms them, that they see no other answer but to put an end to their sad life, it would appear that they close their eyes to reality, and just lean forward into the abyss. I don’t think that he wanted to hurt Glen in any way, but I think that he appreciated the audience, as well as the opportunity to send some macabre sort of message out to whomever? Slan
