Keating worked with musicians across the music industry, and had been suffering from bowel cancer\n<\/p>\n
Mr Keating has worked with musicians across the music industry including in bands Jape, The Redneck Manifesto, Bell X1 and HousePlants.<\/p>\n
Last year, Bell X1 last year released a special music video to coincide with Daffodil Day, for their song Spacewalk. The video artistically portrayed Mr Keating’s experience with the disease.<\/p>\n
At the time of its release, the band praised the \u201cthoughtful, funny, musically intuitive and gifted dude\u201d, lauding the \u201cinfectious positive energy\u201d he brought to the band during his work with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking music with others \u2013 from the giddy rehearsal set-up chats and nerding-out over new gear, to the moments of collective transcendence, is a profound thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe find ourselves tremendously moved by Glenn\u2019s continued open-hearted commitment to this, and his willingness to talk about his journey in the interests of raising awareness and funds for cancer charities. \u2018Spacewalk\u2019 is an attempt to speak to this, to our love for Glenn.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Keating was from Coolock in north Dublin, and died on Wednesday at Beaumont Hospital.<\/p>\n
He was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2020 and had routinely undergone several rounds of chemotherapy, all while continuing to make music.<\/p>\n
Before his death, Mr Keating raised \u20ac14,000 for the Irish Cancer Society alongside his brothers Cormac and Tony, with the \u201cCoast 2 Coast Cycle\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Irish Cancer Society earlier this year, Mr Keating said early intervention is vital.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know the phrase \u2018the squeaky wheel gets the oil?\u2019. I have discovered this is definitely true. It’s hard to advocate for yourself, but when it comes to ill health and cancer, you have to learn how to do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to ask the questions, ask what something means or push for answers. If you catch things early enough, it can make a massive difference. Don\u2019t be afraid to be a squeaky wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a Facebook tribute to his bandmate, Bell X1 singer Paul Noonan said: \u201cGlenn always had time for other people, and left everyone feeling seen.\u201d He added that during Mr Keating\u2019s illness, \u201che remained his kind and funny self, through all kinds of treatments and discomfort\u201d.<\/p>\n
