Dolores O’Riordan has told how she has started to put her life back in order after her air-rage arrest
And the ex-Voice of Ireland coach says she is “80% better” than she was – and is starting to put the hell behind her.
She added: “I feel I’m a lot better, yes. But I don’t feel I’m perfect. But I don’t think there is such a thing.

“I get that I am 80% better than what I was. I understand why people were worried about me. I do understand and it’s lovely, actually.”
And Dolores admits that a lot of her trouble came after not sleeping for four months when she moved to New York after splitting from her husband, Don, in August.
She said: “I didn’t sleep for four months. I was self-medicating. I was taking over-the-counter sleeping tablets. I felt cut off.”
She added: “I want to get back to the real world. I’m so bored! But I feel great. I am sleeping great. I didn’t sleep properly if at all for months when I was in New York.

“I wasn’t right. I’m a different person now. Happy, finally. I am definitely much more content now.
“I know I am not 100% there yet, but I am happy. I will need to keep on my meds to sleep and to be somewhat normal in a mad world.”
And Dolores told the Sunday Independent that she feels so glad so many people haven’t judged her.
She said: “I would remind people that we are all human, after all. I’m taking it one day at a time right now, but I want to thank all of those people who didn’t pass judgement on me.”
