£4.60 and not a penny more.

 

Less if she's cold.

Now I will never get the chance for my O'Riordan vs. O'Connor thread (title: "O'ffed").

 

But it's seriously sad. I think she had a couple of demons. Though as of now, the cause of death is not yet revealed.

Sad news. Saw The Cranberries many many times very early on (they were a bit like Radiohead in that they always seemed to be the support/on the same bill as other bands I liked) as well as in their own right numerous times; they were always excellent live. Went off them from Zombie onwards when Dolores developed her vocal style to be - to these ears anyway - as irritating as possible but the first album is still stunning.

 

She's admittedly had her problems in the past but would anyone have thought she'd go before Sinead?

Rumors are circulating about suicide. Very sad. R.I.P. and condolences to her family.

This was not a healthy looking woman! I'd say drugs after watching this interview, thinner and seems her mind is in fog. Of course cancer and depression can do those things aswell.

 

compare with this  interview only 4 years ago she looks 10/15 years older in the BBC interview. Its shocking really.

Yeah the sudden and unexpected death and the lack of an immediate explanation (cause of death) might suggest suicide or accidental death due to intoxication (overdose on drugs [either illegal or prescription a la Heath Ledger]).

 

Or it could have been as simple as a heart attack. I think we'd need to wait for the autopsy results to be sure.

To be honest, suicide was the first thing that crossed my mind too. We'll find out soon enough I suppose.

We've had several polls of two people pitted against each other (Like Helmut and Helmut). I would never thought of as poll between her and Sinead......

 

 

 

though in hindsight.....

Fun fact, which isn't that funny at all tbh:

Within the last 15 days 3 singers/musicians died who had a No.1-hit in the German singles charts back in the days:

07.01.2018 France Gall: 1988 with Ella elle l'a

15.01.2018 Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries): 1995 with Zombie

15.01.2018 Edwin Hawkins (Singers): 1969 with Oh Happy Day

 

Which act with a No.1-hit in the 70s is next to complete this row???

Wings - Mull of f#*@ing Kintyre. 1977. Goodbye Mr P McCartney.  Or Denny Laine I should add.

Maybe Olivia Newton-John. 

She was No1 with You're the one that I want in the summer of '78.

Maybe we should limit the question to those not using a tin ear.

I think it was more likely to have been a Prince-style painkiller overdose due to sever back pain. I wonder if Judith Hill was close by

4th best selling song in the UK ever. Gold in Germany and elsewhere. Horrendous but true. Don't you just love the general public and popular taste.
