Dolores O’ Riordan, frontwoman for the popular and iconic Irish grunge band The Cranberries died at the age of 46. Her publicist has confirmed that the singer died in London.
The spokesperson for the musician said she died suddenly in London today. The spokesperson gave very little details surrounding the shocking news. The only statement issued other than the confirmation of the musician’s death was: “She was 46 years old. The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries was in London for a short recording session. No further details are available at this time.”
The cause of death for O’ Riordan has yet to be revealed.
Ireland President Michael Higgins has also released a statement expressing sadness over O’ Riordan’s passing.

The lead singer joined The Cranberries, then made up of brothers Noel and Mike Hogan in 1989 when she was only 18 after seeing an advertisement in a local paper.
The Cranberries have sold over 40 million records around the world. Their biggest hits include the songs Zombie, the most iconic of their song produced in 1994; Dreams and Linger, which both came out in 1993; Animal Instinct in 1999; Ode to my Family in 1994; When You’re Gone, 1996, among others.

The band reformed in March last year with a new album of their biggest hits and a schedule for a European tour. But the band was forced to cancel the remaining of their European tour dates in May due to O’Riordan poor health. Their website said then that a back problem was preventing the lead singer from performing.
That same month O’Riordan revealed that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She was charged with allegedly assaulting an air hostess on an Aer Lingus flight in 2014, which happened shortly after her controversial separation with her husband of 20 years, Don Burton.
Just before Christmas, however, things were beginning to look up again for the iconic performer. She even posted on Facebook she had done her “first bit of giggling in months.”
Tributes have started pouring in online from the band’s fans and supporters, along with other musicians who credit O’Riordan sharing how much inspiration she has been to them.

Same here, still have the cds. Part of my youth dies today.
Back pain? Kidney issues, I bet. I'd wager her kidneys failed, for some reason, and have been failing for some time. She probably just never had it checked.
Thank you for some other informative website. The place else may I am getting that type of
info written in such an ideal way? I have a project that I'm just now operating on, and I've been on the look out for such
information.

I think everything published was very reasonable.
However, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier post title?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog,
however what if you added a title to possibly get people's attention? I
mean Lead Singer of Iconic Band The Cranberries, Dolores O’ Riordan, Died at 46 is kinda vanilla.
You should peek at Yahoo's front page and
note how they create news titles to grab people to click.
You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers interested about what you've written. Just my opinion, it might bring your website a little livelier.

Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid
option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused ..
Any tips? Many thanks!

First off I want to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you
don't mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts prior to writing. I have had a tough time
clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Thanks!
