Dolores O’Riordan has sadly passed away at the age of 46.
According to the BBC, her publicist confirmed the news alongside a statement which read, “The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries was in London for a short recording session. No further details are available at this time.”
“Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”
The circumstances of her death are currently unknown.
The news comes after The Cranberries announced a tour last year, including dates in Europe, the UK, and the US.
However, in May 2017, the band were forced to cancel the remainder of their European dates as a result of Dolores’ health issues.
The singer suffered from bi-polar disorder, and was spared a criminal conviction after she was involved in an air rage incident back in 2014.
Dolores had also split from her husband of 20 years, Don Burton, in 2014. The couple had three children together.
