Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of The Cranberries, died in London. She was 46.
The mother of three (Taylor Baxter-19, Molly Leigh-16 & Dakota Rain-12) passed away “suddenly” according to her publicist to the BBC. She was “in London for a short recording session.”
The Cranberries had a stop scheduled in Philadelphia last fall, but their 2017 US tour was cancelled due to Dolores’ struggle with back problems.
Dolores and her band mates rose to international fame in the 1990s with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? with singles, “Linger” and “Dreams” and the sophomore success with No Need to Argue featuring “Zombie”
