Dolores O’Riordan, the singer from The Cranberries, died today in London.
At this time, there are few details available. I remember when The Cranberries first released their breakthrough album Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can’t We? in 1993. They were a staple on X96 through the 90’s with songs like “Dreams,” “Linger,” “Zombie, and “Salvation.” According to a statement from their publicist, the band was in London for a recording session. She was 46 years old. No other details about her death have been made public at this time.

According to the BBC, “However, in May – shortly into the European tour – The Cranberries had to cancel the remainder of the European dates as a result of O’Riordan’s health issues.”
I recall seeing them at Saltair in 1994 when they were touring on the No Need To Argue album. She was a spectacular performer and sounded amazing. They were one of my favorite bands from the 90’s. Here are some of their bigger songs.
