She died on blue monday.

I liked her voice, and Linger and Ode To My Family are superb, but they had a lot of good songs.

Sad news.

Way too young. We’ve lost way too many important people these past few years.

I had the hook of Linger "Do ya have to, do ya have to, do you have to let it linger..." on loop in my head for a year once, didn't really even bother me.

Musicians have been dying ever since there were musicians. It happens a lot. It's not recent. Look up your history and stop acting so dramatic. Yes, it's very sad and all, but it's not like musicians dying is a new thing.

Very Sad, the Cranberries have a few, very iconic songs. Such a beautiful voice she had.

One of my favorite Cranberries songs

She was married until 2014 with the Duran Duran manager

[dontdamnmeuyi2015]

Never liked this band, but sad about the singer dying.

The news said she was diagnosed as being bi polar, but no cause of death. The police said it was suspicious, so I guess it was natural causes.

So many musicians dying. She was too young.

[Majestic Beast]

Well,she was suffering from depression, bipolar,anorexia,2013 commit suicide attempt and that stuff.It was unexpected somehow,it wasn't like a condition go crazy like sinead o conor.Her voice was sympathetic and they had some good rock hits at least,more to pop-rock genre material.

I expected more tributes from known musicians for her death,even Adele posted in her instagram account,u2,duran duran and some others but no mention from other bands of hard rock or whatever.

 

*May should do the official  R.I.P. music thread after so many passed away?

Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan Died by Drowning, Coroner Reports

A London coroner has revealed that Dolores O’Riordan, singer for the Cranberries, died by drowning in a bathtub as a result of alcohol intoxication, the Guardian reports.

O’Riordan was found dead in a London hotel room on Jan. 15, and the Westminster Coroner’s Court ordered an inquest into her death, a common practice when it is determined the deceased did not die of natural causes.

“On Jan. 15, 2018, we lost our dear friend and bandmate Dolores O’Riordan,” the surviving Cranberries said in a statement. “Today we continue to come to terms with what happened.”

A hotel maid found O’Riordan submerged, face-up in a bath. Police and paramedics were summoned to the scene, but the singer was declared dead at 9:16AM London time.

The coroner’s inquest made note of O’Riordan’s blood alcohol level, which was four times the legal limit to drive in England. Investigators at the scene found five empty miniature bottles from the room’s mini bar, as well as an 11-ounce bottle of champagne. O’Riordan had evidently also been taking prescription drugs, including the anti-anxiety medication lorazepam, and smoking heavily.

According to the Guardian, the coroner, Dr Shirley Radcliffe, noted, “There’s no evidence that this was anything other than an accident. There was no intention, this seems to be solely a tragic accident.”

O’Riordan had been dealing for some time with bipolar disorder and excessive use of alcohol. Last September, she wrote a suicide note while drinking and taking lorazepam.

The other members of the Cranberries are still processing O’Riordan’s death, but want her to be remembered fondly by her fans.

“Dolores will live on eternally in her music,” they said. “To see how much of a positive impact she had on people’s lives has been a source of great comfort to us. We’d like to say thank you to all of our fans for the outpouring of messages and their continued support during this difficult time.”

The band was working on a record prior to O’Riordan’s death and intend to release that material, as well as a 25th anniversary reissue of their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, within the next year.
