Blimey - thats a shock. Younger than me - puts life into perspective. Remember buying Linger on 7" vinyl when it first came out. Great voice.

I think No Need to Argue is one of the first albums I remember hearing, amazing voice.

So sad, my favourite female vocalist. Love all her stuff and she was brilliant live.

RIP

By chance last night i listened to the Cranberries album "No Need to Argue" right through. Twenty one, Daffodil's lament etc... great album. Sad loss.

Harry Gregory

Terrible news, died suddenly in London while recording apparently. Linger is one of favourite singles of the 90's

Chef_addick

Great voice, really liked the cranberries in my youth. RIP

That pixie look really did it for me back in the dreams/linger days. Had the pleasure of seeing the Cranberries at Feille festival in 94.

Gravesend_Addick

That is very sad. I wonder if she'll turn into a Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie

Sorry. RIP. No age at all

RIP. Fantastic and powerful voice. Many great tracks with Zombie being my particular favourite. Sad news especially at such a young age.

Oh no, that's terrible news, really really shocking and sad. I was also at the Milton Keynes festival when the Cranberries supported REM, boiling hot day, fantastic show. RIP Dolores, what a voice.

Bloody hell died suddenly too. Loved their songs especially 'the icicle melts.'.

Bcaddick

100% absolutely gutted. I could listen to her sing all day. Top of my list of bands to see live that I have not seen. Gutted. RIP Dolores.

Couldn’t believe it when I saw this thread, hoping it wasn’t true. Made me feel a bit sick.

I saw The Cranberries a number of times after initially buying their Uncertain EP and hearing their Peel Session.

A couple of times were at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road in front of a sparse crowd. Dolores, with her dark bob, seemed a quiet, shy, beautiful (I guess) 21 year old with a such lovely fragile voice.

After that I saw at them at the Camden Underworld, where Dolores introduced Zombie as a ‘new one’.

A little while passed and the next time I saw them was at the LA2, also on Charing Cross Road. They’d been supporting Duran Duran (I think) on their US tour and become a lot more popular. Dolores now had spiky blonde hair and was loudly orchestrating the packed venue to sing along to the popular songs. Wasn’t my favourite gig of all time!

Saw them at Milton Keynes also.

I only have the first two Albums but ‘No Need To Argue’ is one of my favourite LPs.


RIP Dolores and thank you so much x
