Dolores O’Riordan, leader singer with the rock group The Cranberries, has died suddenly at the age of 46, reports Reuters, quoting Irish broadcaster RTE.
A statement put out by the publicist said that O’Riordan could provide no details as to cause of death. “Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time,” the statement said.
The rockstar was best known as the lead singer of the The Cranberries, an Irish alternative rock band that enjoyed great local and international success starting in the early 1990s, going on to sell over 40 million records.
Notable for O’Riordan’s haunting mezzo-soprano voice and strong-Limerick accent, The Cranberries would go on to sell five albums, with hits including Zombie, Linger, and Dreams, before taking a break in the 2000s before reuniting in 2009.
