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.”
