EKRIUQ · 15-01-2018 6:07pm

Sad news, was she going through a tough time the last couple of years and during the air rage incident.

seamus · 15-01-2018 6:08pm

RIP.

Poor woman struggled with a lot of demons but seemed to be starting to get back on track in recent times.

spurious · 15-01-2018 6:09pm

Very sad news. So young.

15-01-2018 6:09pm

terrible

Omackeral · 15-01-2018 6:09pm

46 is no age to go.

brevity · 15-01-2018 6:09pm

Ah that's very sad. 46 is nothing in the greater scheme of things.

RIP.

suicide_circus · 15-01-2018 6:09pm

Rest in peace

The_Kew_Tour · 15-01-2018 6:09pm

Ah that's awful. Great voice

NollagShona · 15-01-2018 6:10pm

Ah terrible to hear.

Mutant z · 15-01-2018 6:10pm

A huge star with The Cranberries who have had major global success a very sad day for the music world.

castletownman · 15-01-2018 6:11pm

Aww man.

I always had a crush on her, and The Cranberries had some genuine all-time classic tunes in Zombie, Linger and Dreams.

In shock. RIP

Is it confirmed? Rip if so

It's on the Indo so I would assume so unfortunately.

They had some savage tunes. RIP

JCX BXC · 15-01-2018 6:12pm

Completely shocked to be honest. While I'd have been a little young to be have heard her music when it was the most popular, I know most of her popular ones. Great singer but she became troubled.

RhubarbCrumble · 15-01-2018 6:12pm

Oh my God. Very sad news. I met her through work a few times going back a good couple of years ago now. Always found her very nice and down to earth. RIP

RustyNut · 15-01-2018 6:13pm

Another creative genius taken too soon.

RIP.

retro:electro · 15-01-2018 6:13pm

Very sad. I absolutely adored The Cranberries growing up. Hadn't heard much about her as of late.
RIP.

forgodssake · 15-01-2018 6:13pm

Rip to a class vocalist . So sad at such a young age .

PTH2009 · 15-01-2018 6:14pm

bit sad it happend today with Shane McGowans birthday show on tonight

dont think she was down to appear

King George VI · 15-01-2018 6:14pm

I got the notification from TheJournal.ie app and immediately knew someone died. She was so young. Sad day for her kids. RIP

DvB · 15-01-2018 6:14pm

Met her through work a few years back & she was a pleasure to deal with. 46 is far too young, RIP.

Jhcx · 15-01-2018 6:15pm

One of my all time favourite singers and great loss to the band. Absolutely shocked to hear this.

Rip

cnoc · 15-01-2018 6:15pm

Very sad news. RIP.

KKkitty · 15-01-2018 6:15pm

Actually can't believe this at all. 46 is no age to go. R.I.P. Dolores. Thanks for the great music throughout the years.

AnneFrank · 15-01-2018 6:16pm

i'm in shock, what a singer, and she stole the show on the voice, such a lovely down to earth person.
But i always loved what she said when she was escorted off the plane
"i'm the queen of Limerick" haha class,
RIP Dolores

Rubberlegs · 15-01-2018 6:16pm

Sad news, RIP.

eurokev · 15-01-2018 6:16pm

Absolutely, shocked and gutted.

Zombie is the anthem for myself and a group of buddies, we have it absolutely blaring on a loop regularly. Its one of the best pump you up songs ever. Really wish I had seen her live now..

RIP Delores

razorblunt · 15-01-2018 6:16pm

RIP, sad news.

She tweeted on 4th Jan she was on her way home to Ireland.

They did an accoustic and orchestral album, Something Else, last year recording their old stuff for it. She was doing publicity and performing some of the tracks on radio.

Ken. · 15-01-2018 6:21pm

Mod-I cannot fücking believe that after 20 odd minutes i've to lock an RIP thread to clean it up. When it reopens cop the fück on.

Ken. · 15-01-2018 6:26pm

Mod-Ok thread reopened, Warning in op. No more warnings will be given. Treat this like it was someone belonging to you just passed away.

gifted · 15-01-2018 6:28pm

I thought they were brilliant...she was brilliant..RIP

AnneFrank · 15-01-2018 6:28pm

After U2, they must be the next biggest band to come out of ireland, not including produced boybands of course,
and let's be honest, she was the cranberries

cantdecide · 15-01-2018 6:28pm

Having been a casual listener when I was younger, I saw her sing a few years ago and was blown away. She was immensely talented and always seemed like such a decent person.

RIP

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo · 15-01-2018 6:28pm

I still put on Cranberries songs from time to time. They really are one of the biggest and most successful Irish bands of all time. Think only U2 and Enya have sold more records, they are legitimately up there. She still looked well too. Very sad news to hear. She was a genuine talent.

kravmaga · 15-01-2018 6:29pm

RIP- Great voice and talent, terrible shock and too young to go

RobertKK · 15-01-2018 6:29pm

I'm not normally shocked, but I loved the Cranberries and hearing of her death did shock me.
Never saw them live. Dolores had a very distinctive voice and for me the early stuff was the best.
This is just so sad, listening to the Cranberries now

Saganist · 15-01-2018 6:29pm

First single I ever bought was Zombie. RIP.

leahyl · 15-01-2018 6:29pm

Very sad, was only listening to Zombie the other day - absolute classic

Lorelli! · 15-01-2018 6:30pm

Really liked a lot of The Cranberries songs when I was a teenager. Very sad. RIP

Loved this song..

Arghus · 15-01-2018 6:30pm

Was never a major fan of her music, but no denying she had a fantastic voice.

15-01-2018 6:30pm

Another tortured genius gone too soon. Thoughts and prayers with her family. Rest In Peace.

Outkast_IRE · 15-01-2018 6:30pm

This one hits me hard. One of the most distinctive Irish voices in music. Some great songs that helped define a generation.

She may be gone, but some of her work is good enough that she will not be forgotten.

15-01-2018 6:31pm

This is very sad news

May you rest in peace Dolores.

Ah, buggre.
I loved her voice.
Too young, by far.

Magown3 · 15-01-2018 6:32pm

Terrible news.

Weirdly enough, The Cranberries came on in the car today while the jukebox was in random mode. It reminded me of what a great album it was so I took it off random and started at the first song and listened to it all the way home.

It was Everyone Else is doing. Great Album. Can't wait to listen to the rest of it tomorrow on the way to work.

RIP

Dolores O'Riordan RIP (Mod warning in op)
