Dolores O’Riordan’s passing influences many

Olivia Bleyaert, Reporter

Sadly, on Jan. 15, the lead singer of “The Cranberries” Dolores O’Riordan passed away in London, England at 9:05 a.m. If you don’t know who the band is, The Cranberries were a grunge band in the 90’s that had great success with the singles “Linger” and “Zombie.” The police haven’t given a reason yet on how she died, but it was unexpected in the hotel in which she was staying.

Of course, the band is devastated of this tragic incident and posted their condolences to fans and her family on their pages on social media.

“We are devastated on the passing of our friend, Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent, and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today. -Noel, Mike and Fergal,” the band tweeted.(https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/15/obituaries/dolores-oriordan-dead.html )

The weird thing is that the metropolitan police reported in an article posted by ‘The Guardian’ (. But she did have problems with mental and physical health in the past.

Since because a national, inspirational artist has died, we should live on in her spirit and continue with her art.

She made so many iconic pieces with her band such as “Promises” or “Ridiculous Thoughts.” Here’s a playlist of the Cranberries best songs:

Fans will be devastated that their strong leader and a voice of a generation is gone, but they are going to carry on and be the rebels they always were.
