The voice of an angel, one of my favorite songs.
So sad too soon
Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan dies aged 46
Dolores O?Riordan, the lead singer with the multi-platinum band the Cranberries, has died aged 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 due to 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.?
Irish president Michael D Higgins said he learned of the news with ?great sadness?, adding: ?To all those who follow and support Irish music, Irish musicians and the performing arts, her death will be a big loss.?
Musicians have started to pay tribute, including Irish songwriter Hozier, who said he was ?shocked and saddened?, and that O?Riordan?s voice ?threw into question what a voice could sound like in that context of rock. I?d never heard somebody use their instrument in that way.?
