Recap: Dolores O'Riordan, The Cranberries Singer, Dead at 46 On January 15

Hey everybody, I found out that on January 15 of this year, the lead singer of the band called The Cranberries has died at the age of 46. The lead singer’s name is Dolores O’Riordan and she is the lead singer of the Irish band which is The Cranberries. It appears that Dolores O’Riordan has died at the age of 46. I mean, why do people died these days? I mean, Dolores O’Riordan is insanely hot. But why did Dolores O’Riordan die this year? I guess people got tired of alive and stick with dead as alive has declined these days. Blame self-destruction and capitalism goes by repeats and negative. It looks like music going by realism and positive has declined even with streaming as music moves on to repeats and computer. But that’s not I talk about. The real cause of death has to be none other than Billboard. So take it away, Billboard.

“Cranberries Singer Dolores O'Riordan Dies at 46

1/15/2018 by Associated Press

Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of Irish band The Cranberries, has died. She was 46.

O’Riordan died in London, where she was recording, publicist Lindsey Holmes said.

“No further details are available at this time,” Holmes said, adding that the singer’s family was “devastated” by the news.

Formed in Limerick, Ireland at the end of the 1980s, The Cranberries became international stars in the '90s with hits including “Zombie” and “Linger” that fused the alternative rock edge with Celtic-infused pop tunefulness.

Irish President Michael D. Higgins said O’Riordan and the band “had an immense influence on rock and pop music in Ireland and internationally.”

“To all those who follow and support Irish music, Irish musicians and the performing arts, her death will be a big loss,” he said in a statement.

O’Riordan was The Cranberries’ chief lyricist and co-songwriter, and her powerful, sometimes wailing, voice was key to the band’s distinctive sound.

The group’s 1993 debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? sold millions of copies and produced the hit single “Linger.”

The follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold in even greater numbers and contained “Zombie,” a howl against Northern Ireland’s violent Troubles that topped singles charts in several countries.

The band released three more studio albums before splitting up in 2003. O’Riordan released a solo album, Are You Listening, in 2007, and another, No Baggage, in 2009.

The members of The Cranberries reunited that year, releasing the album Roses in 2012.

The Cranberries released the acoustic album Something Else in 2017 and had been due to tour Europe and North America. The tour was cut short because O’Riordan was suffering from back problems.

In 2014, O’Riordan was accused of assaulting three police officers and a flight attendant during a flight from New York to Ireland. She pleaded guilty and was fined 6,000 euros ($6,600).

Medical records given to the court indicated she was mentally ill at the time of the altercation. After her court hearing O’Riordan urged other people suffering mental illness to seek help.

O’Riordan is survived by her ex-husband, the former Duran Duran tour manager Don Burton, and their three children.”

Wow, that is sad. Poor Dolores O’Riordan. Soon, people listening to music started to lose evolution/positive/moving forward/realistic/music video/online and instead rely on repeats/negative/pop/celebrities/radio/big name producers/charts/number 1/wrong/change and slowly started destroying people listening to music left and right. I mean, people listening to music got tired of good stuff like people watch music videos online and rock music and stick with overplaying repeats like radio and NickMusic just to make money and they’re hurting America. This is why I hate today’s America like kids is America’s demographic and bad is extremely popular. So it looks like the only way is inventions. I miss America goes by variety and America is great. Stupid today's America. Anyway, moving on.

Let’s about The Cranberries’s Twitter account about the loss of Dolores O’Riordan. So take it away, Twitter.

We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today.

Noel, Mike and Fergal
