Femme Fatale 10,203 Posted January 15, 2018 Damn, she was only 46. Waaay too young. She had such a beautiful voice, R.I.P. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laura91 144 Posted January 15, 2018 I remember hearing them back in the '90's. Not really what I was into. But, that's pretty terrible to die at that age. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Pink 9,766 Posted January 15, 2018 I'm gutted and really shocked hear this. I was only watching some interviews with The Cranberries this week. The Cranberries were always a band I had a soft spot for. Some deaths are more painful than others and this is really one of them. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokasmoka 398 Posted January 15, 2018 RIP, shocking news. Way to young to leave this world especially when leaving 3 children behind. She really had a beautiful voice and she did a good job layering the vocals to make each song sound full, she even yodeled on a few songs. I saw she suffered from mental illness, it's a shame it took her life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThaBirdCoot 2,845 Posted January 16, 2018 Don't know for sure yet if it has something to do with her mental health issues, but obviously a suicide is not to be ignored especially in this business where it is way to common. I was absolutely disgusted at hearin' this news earlier, houghts to her family and kids it is very hard to live trough this. I am not going to pretend I was a fan by any means but the music I heard from this band certainly didn't leave me untouched, Zombie, obviously a major tune I won't ever forget, such a beautiful voice for a tragical tale.

SeroH 1,149 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Even in my 90's I was heavily into electronic music, few rock bands like The Cranberries blands our hearts with pure and soft rock songs. Recently I saw a video of Dolores singing with Luciano Pavarotti which is totally amazing: This is my definitive favorite which the lyrics are very significant: Edited January 16, 2018 by SeroH 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, this is one of my favs as well. Thanks for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slamman 130 Posted March 5, 2018 My favorite of all time, Linger, Hoping my mom will check that one out, her accent a bit less annoying and heavy on that track. Still, many in Ireland are heart broken. Also in passing, literally... RIP to Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip, about a year prior to his death, he was diagnosed with a inoperable brain tumor... he knew his time was limited but felt blessed and still encouraged to continue his art with music. We hope it will outlast SEVERAL lifetimes!! God Speed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
