RIP Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan, aged 46

Very shocking. I wasn't particularly a fan, but there's no denying she had a great voice and a terrific stage presence.

I know she experienced bipolar disorder. I hope that had nothing to do with her sudden death.

Never really got the Cranberries, but that is far far too young for anyone. RIP.

Loved ' No need to argue '
Very sad

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Oh my, what a shock. Never a fan, but waaaay too young. Bummer. RIP.

I'm not as cool as you lot so I actually liked the Cranberries, largely for her voice, the way it broke perfectly and the way her accent added to the sound. They were one of my favourite bands back in the day and I still listen to them a fair bit on Spotify. 46 is very young

She did suffer a tough life. Sexually abused for four years as a child, anorexia, she burnt out during the 1st stint in The Cranberries, suicide attempts, an accident that left her in a lot of pain with years of physio, sleeping pill addiction, father died, marriage collapsed, air rage incident and arrest, depression, break downs, struggles with alcohol. She fought hard to overcome all of these things.

She has four kids too.

Very sad.

I'm hoping to live to be the same age this year. Fuck death. RIP

Not being a Cranberries fan, I knew nothing of this. That is very sad, especially for her kids.

 

[TruXta]

Fuck. That's harsh. RIP Dolores. An inescapable part of my teenage years, for better and worse.

She was very open in interviews about her struggles.

She was very open in interviews about her struggles.

and respect to her for that.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Tragic

I had no idea she had Four children. No idea about her life. 46 So very sad whether you liked her music, or not. Her voice was The Cranberries really - few bands have done more for Irish rock music on a World stage.

What a sad day.

 

[Superdupastupor]

One of my ma's favorite bands, so car journeys, tidying the house, lazy Sunday's etc cranberries was the soundtrack in a big way to my childhood



Stilll listen to this if I'm feeling a bit teary

How old do you think I am?

 

[pengaleng]

ahhhhhh her voice was awesome

 

[Nanker Phelge]

She has a fantastic voice. I wasn't a Cranberries fan, but I did like her voice (not as much as I like Sinead's)

I liked this

How old do you think I am?

I have no idea. and if I have somehow pissed you off, I apologise. This is not the thread for anybody to have a row.

[weltweit]

Much too young.

RIP

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Tell you what, Nina Persson and Harriet Wheeler better be looking after themselves.

 

[Gerry1time]

Fuck, remember getting into them in the mid 90's, then a few months ago thinking how remiss it was that I'd never seen them live given I'd love to, so looking up what they were doing now. Guess I now never will.

I'm not starting a row. Weird.

 

[Cheesypoof]

And we dont want to lose Sinead O'Connor either. I hope she finds peace.

[sleaterkinney]

Really liked Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? back in the day. RIP.

 

[Kaka Tim]

[oryx]

Sad news and unexpected. I particularly liked their song 'Zombie'.

 

[Cheesypoof]

There is a big party tonight in Dublin for Shane Magowan's 60th with Nick Cave, and lots of other friends and artists. I bet he doesnt feel like celebrating. So sad .
