On September 6, 1971, Dolores Mary Eileen O’Riordan was born in Limerick, Ireland. She is the youngest of Terence and Eileen O’Riordan’s seven children.

In 1994, O’Riordan wed Don Burton, a former executive for Duran Duran. Prior to divorcing in 2014, the couple had three children together.

Dolores O’Riordan, who was born in 1971 in Limerick, Ireland, popularized Cranberries in the 1990s with her calming and occasionally erratic Celtic vocals. The singer/Pixie songwriter’s haircut assisted the alt rock band in reaching the top of international charts with songs like “Dreams,” “Linger,” and “Zombie.” She joined the group in 2003, took a break to further her career, and then reconnected with them six years later. O’Riordan, who had a significant influence on the Irish rock and pop scene, passed away unexpectedly on January 15, 2018, at the age of 46.

O’Riordan was in London when, on January 15, 2018, just after nine in the morning, his body was discovered in a Park Lane hotel room. The cause of Riordan’s death is still unknown, according to the preliminary findings of the authorities, who also stated that his death is suspected.

Family members “were devastated by the news of his death and have requested privacy at this difficult time,” the Cranberries’ Facebook fan page said in the initial statement announcing his death.

The funeral for O’Riordan will be held in Ireland, the priest told the BBC.

O’Riordan was The Cranberry Saw Us’ predecessor in 1990. The group eventually changed their name to The Cranberries, and with the help of their alt rock grunge-infused sound and the choice to make O’Riordan their lead singer and songwriter, they became well-known around the world.

Before the group’s 1993 debut album Everybody Else Is It Do It was released, MTV took over the single “Dreams,” “Why We Don’t,” and helped the group gain a sizable fan base. He contributed to “Linger,” one of the band’s most well-known songs.

A song about death, war, love, and disappointment, To the Faithful Departed (1996), included “Zombie” (1994), which was released over the course of four albums. Bury the Hatchet, Wake Up, and The Coffee (2001) were the films that came out after Bury the Hatchet in 1999. Stars: The Best of 1992-2002 was the name of the hit hit compilations the band released prior to going on hiatus in 2003.

The Cranberries have sold more than 40 albums worldwide as of 2018.

Mental and physical conditions

O’Riordan was briefly among Ireland’s wealthiest women thanks to the Cranberries’ enormous success, but she has battled various physical and mental conditions throughout her career.

O’Riordan disclosed in 2014 that he had committed a crime on an Aer Lingus flight from New York to Ireland and experienced mental health problems through court records to police officers and a flight attendant. Later, she acknowledged having depression and bipolar disorder to several media outlets.

The Cranberries’ acoustic album Something Else was released in 2017, and it was accompanied by a tour across Europe and North America. However, the tour was cut short due to O’Riordan’s lower back pain.

O’Riordan managed the Cranberries for 13 years before quitting to focus on his solo career. Before releasing his debut solo album, Are You Listening, in 2007, he contributed to the albums of other musicians. Before reuniting with the group the following year, he released his final solo album, No Baggage, two years later.

He established a trio in 2014 with Andy Rourke and Ole Koretsky of the O’Riordan Smiths; the group adopted the name DARK in 2016. Science Agrees, the group’s debut album, was released.
