Dolores O’Riordan, the lead singer with the multi-platinum band the Cranberries, has died on January 15, 2018. She was 46. The news was confirmed by her publicist in a statement, but no cause of death has yet been announced. O’Riordan, who had to cancel a tour with a reunited Cranberries in 2017 because of a back problem, had been in London for a recording session.The statement described the death as sudden, and added: “Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.” A Metropolitan police statement also confirmed the news, and that O’Riordan’s body was found at a Park Lane hotel. “At this early stage the death is being treated as unexplained,” the statement read. A spokeswoman for the London Hilton on Park Lane said: “It is with deep regret that we can confirm a guest sadly passed away at the hotel on Monday 15 January. We offer our sincere condolences to their family at this difficult time.”The band – Noel and Mike Hogan and Fergal Lawler – posted a message on 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.” O’Riordan, born in Limerick in 1971, joined the Cranberries - then called the Cranberry Saw Us - in 1990, and performed with them until 2003 when they took a hiatus. [The group reunited in 2009.] Driven by O’Riordan’s heartfelt vocals and her unmistakeable west Irish accent, they became hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic.In April 2017, the Cranberries released their seventh studio album, Something Else.+ + + + +
