Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox song "A Hero's Death" is a song by Irish post-punk band, Fontaines D.C. The song is the lead single, and title track off their sophomore album. The song was released on 5 May 2020 through Partisan Records.
"A Hero's Death" was the band's first song to chart, reaching number 30 in Scotland[1] and number 67 in the UK Singles Downloads Chart.[2]
Music video
The music video for the song was directed by Hugh Mulhern and produced by Aaron McEnaney and Theresa Adebiyi.[3] The music video features a fictional late night show called The Georgie Barnes Show starring a charismatic talk show host named Georgie Barnes, (played by Aidan Gillen) whose co-host is a puppet.[4] The series features the talk show host greeting the band prior to them playing a song on the show, but becoming existential when the band seems to show more appreciation to the puppeteer (Bryan Quinn) and the puppet rather than the host.[5]
Live performances
The first live performance of the song came on July 12, 2020 on Later... with Jools Holland when the band performed the song. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band members performed in different locations and were simulcasted for an "At Home" performance of the song.[6] The first live performance of the band together was on January 28, 2021 when the band performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[7]
