Sad news from London, where Cranberries' lead singer Dolores O'Riordan died suddently today. The band's official page announced her death at about 1 p.m. EST, with no further details and a statement requesting privacy for her family.
My first time hearing Dolores O'Riordan's voice was unforgettable. It threw into question what a voice could sound like in that context of Rock. I'd never heard somebody use their instrument in that way. Shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, thoughts are with her family.

Dolores O'Riordan has had such a huge impact on me in so many ways. Watching the light and shade in her performances, her voice, her attitude. She's the reason so many young girls saw a place for themselves in rock music. So, so sad. #DoloresORiordan

I was living in America in the band's heyday, they were massive there. When I got my first CD player the only CD I had was theirs and my friends listened to it obsessively. Their impact internationally was huge.
