Singer of Nineties hits "Linger," "Dreams" and "Zombie" dies in London, though a cause of death has yet to be revealed.
President of Ireland Michael Higgins said in a statement, "It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of Dolores O’Riordan, musician, singer and song writer. Dolores O’Riordan and The Cranberries had an immense influence on rock and pop music in Ireland and internationally. I recall with fondness the late Limerick TD Jim Kemmy’s introduction of her and The Cranberries to me, and the pride he and so many others took in their successes. To all those who follow and support Irish music, Irish musicians and the performing arts her death will be a big loss."

How sad! I knew she had some health issues - I think her back. Regardless, what a loss. I know they were working on a new album and gosh...her voice was so haunting and magical. Brings back a lot of memories.
lot's of memories to be sure. Aeons ago, her vocal chorus on DREAMS was playing during the final announcement of my college graduation. we were all cheering to the music, it was like a scripted moment... but it was friggn cool.
