R.I.P - Dolores O'Riordan, thank you for the music !!!

Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan (/oʊˈrɪərdən/; 6 September 1971 – 15 January 2018), lead singer for the Irish band The Cranberries died suddenly on January 15, 2018 while in London for a recording session.

In 1990 O'Riordan auditioned and won the role of lead singer for a band called The Cranberry Saw Us (later changed to The Cranberries).[5]The band released five albums: Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993), No Need to Argue (1994), To the Faithful Departed(1996), Bury the Hatchet (1999) and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001) and a greatest-hits compilation entitled Stars: The Best of 1992–2002 (2002), before they went on hiatus in 2003.[6]
O'Riordan has been recognized as a style icon, sporting a pixie cut or buzzed hair in the 90's.[7]
On 25 August 2009, while promoting her solo album No Baggage in New York City on 101.9 RXP radio, O'Riordan announced the reunion of The Cranberries for a world tour. The tour began in North America in mid November, followed by South America in mid January 2010 and Europe in March 2010.[8] Also touring with the original members of The Cranberries was musician Denny DeMarchi, who played the keyboard for O'Riordan's solo albums.[9]
The band played songs from O'Riordan's solo albums, many of The Cranberries' classics, as well as new songs the band had been working on. On 9 June 2010 The Cranberries performed at the Special Olympics opening ceremony at Thomond Park in Limerick. This was the first time the band had performed in their native city in over 15 years.[10]
On 26 May 2016, the band announced that they planned to start a tour in Europe. The first show was held on 3 June.

In 2009 she released her first solo album Are you Listening and although pleasant I far preferred her music with The Cranberries.
