Yes, American singer-songwriter Steve Earle lived in Galway, Ireland, for a period starting around 1997-1998. During his time there, often staying on Dominick Street, he wrote much of his acclaimed album El Corazón and the hit song "Galway Girl". He moved to Ireland to focus on songwriting and escape, finding inspiration in the local music scene.
Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has said he identifies culturally as Irish despite being born and raised in England. Brought up in Suffolk, the Galway Girl singer's dad hails from Belfast. "I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with," he told The Louis Theroux Podcast.
Earle was arrested in 1993 for possession of heroin and in 1994 for cocaine and weapons possession. He served 60 days of a one-year sentence, and he's been clean and sober since.
In 1996, Adler suffered a stroke and was briefly comatose after taking a particularly potent speedball—a cocktail of heroin and cocaine used intravenously—which caused a temporary paralysis of the left side of his face, resulting in a speech impediment.

In the interview, Earle says that the stress that followed his son's autism diagnosis was likely the “straw that broke the camel's back” in their marriage. “But I think she was going to leave me anyway,” Earle says. “She traded me in for a younger, skinnier, less talented singer-songwriter.”
Earle began his career as a songwriter in Nashville and released his first EP in 1982. His breakthrough album was the 1986 album Guitar Town, the eponymous lead single peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country chart.
He's been very open about his hair loss. He had an accident with severe head trauma. His head had to be shaved & hasn't grown right since. Nancy Hensley I know the family...he's worn wigs as long as I can remember.
