    Reasoning

    The explanation accurately reflects the trending reason (Glen Hansard's death prompting renewed interest in Once), all claims are directly supported by the search results (his role in the 2007 film, Oscar win for Best Original Song, age 56, motorcycle crash), prose is tight and concise without filler, and format is appropriate at one sentence without prohibited phrasing.
