Police in London say they’re NOT treating the death of Dolores O’Riordan as suspicious.
Tributes have been pouring in for the The Cranberries front woman, both at home and abroad.
A true artist.
The voice of a generation.
Distinctly Limerick.
These have been among the tributes paid today to Dolores O’Riordan, whose death was announced last evening.
The 46 year old died in a hotel in London where she had been taking part in a recording session – her death, police say, is not being treated as suspicious.
As a young woman, Dolores O’Riordan shot to fame in the 1990s as lead singer with the band The Cranberries, selling forty million albums.
She shot to global fame, and today she’s being remembered around the world by fans who flocked to one of Ireland’s biggest ever musical experts.
In her native Limerick today, she’s being remembered as one of the city’s most famous daughters.
People, among them Mayor Stephen Keary, have been signing a book of condolences. He says she appealed to people of all ages.
O’Riordan was married to Don Burton for 20 years before divorcing in 2014 and they have 3 three children together.
In an RTE interview in 2009, she outlined what being a mother meant to her.
