Subscriber electricco 515 Posted January 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 15, 2018 Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan dies suddenly aged 46, that's terrible ... Rest In Peace Dolores http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42696376 The first time we saw the cranberries live, in may 1993 as the support band of Hothouse flowers in Paris; we asked Dolores if there was an album, and after she signed me an autograph, she said yes, and it's called "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?"

Subscriber monica martino 147 Posted January 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 15, 2018 Statement by President Higgins on the death of Dolores O'Riordan “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 her family and all those who follow and support Irish music, Irish musicians and the performing arts her death will be a big loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

illumination70 262 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I remember seeing The Cranberries in concert when they opened up for Duran Duran in December of 1993 when I began to the Art Institute of Seattle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Community Moderator mich40 2,374 Posted January 15, 2018 Community Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2018 I saw them open for Duran Duran too and as headliners the next year (I think). I am deeply saddened by this news. I used to want to be Dolores in the early 90s. Loved her thick Irish accent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber chulia83 24 Posted January 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 15, 2018 One of my first real encounters with rock music in my early teens. I clearly remember how the music video of „Zombie“ affected me, though I didn’t understand what it was all about at that age... the news about her passing made me really sad this evening. love to her family and friends.

Subscriber Grande 3:16 39 Posted January 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 15, 2018 Sad news to hear, just heard on the radio. If there was an Ahk-toong Bay-bi Covered-style cover album of Pop, I always thought The Cranberries should have done Please. (Assuming they got along with U2) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Tflyer90 32 Posted January 16, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 16, 2018 I've been thinking about this since I first heard yesterday morning and I am still upset about it. The Cranberries had such an impact on my life and I have so many memories tied to their music. They are one of those bands which you always heard and their songs were total ear worms and you couldn't help but love them. It's such a sad loss to the music industry and her fans. Their music really helped define an era and her voice was truly unique. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
