Fuck man. Just discovered him a few years ago and his last two albums are so effing good. Felt like he was really coming into his own. Huge loss

RIP. I grew up watching Once and listening to the soundtrack. This is very sad.

The wife and son bit is hard to swallow. Awful news. I have fond memories of listening to the one live album The Frames did; all of his banter and crowd work really made that record wonderful. I haven’t listened in a few years, so it’s sad that this is why I thought of it. RIP man.

Absolutely devastated, terrible loss. Saw him with The Swell Season just a bit over a year ago and both he and Marketa were incredible.
