That's a fuck of a shock. Harry and I went to see one of their early gigs at the Camden Underworld in, I have just found out, 1993. They weren't particularly my type of thing - sort of reminded me of an Irish Catatonia - but she had a great voice but was very self-effacing and shy. She obviously went onto become more comfortable with fame. As everyone said, no age at all and terrible for her family.

Props to her from me as well for singing in her Limerick accent. I was an Irish kid outside of Ireland and there was this megagroup all over MTV with a singer singing in an accent not to dissimilar from my own.
46 is much too young.
and Dreams was about as good as pop songs got in 1993.
Their best song. Props to Stephen Street to for the production as well.
edit: The video would appear to be the most 1993 thing you could think of as well.Last edited by anton pulisov; 15-01-2018, 18:41.

Sorry to hear this R.I.P, a friend of mine's brother in law dated her in their teens (true ) and claimed to be the inspiration for LINGER (says a lot about his ego ),as a few people have said already it was great to hear an Irish band do well in the States

Zombie is a great track and video - have played it to my students. The most recent album was only a year ago:

I jumped off their bandwagon after the third album, which I just didn't like as much as the first two. I knew they still played together sometimes, but can't recall hearing any of their recent stuff.
It's shocking and awful. She's a year older than me. Fuck.

It's been amusing to read how many music hacks have started their tributes with 'I never was a fan, but terrible shame etc...' Of course not, which music hack would dare admit they liked The Cranberries, for Christ's sake? But they have to get that bit in first, before they say what a terrible shame it is.
I enjoyed the first album one night when completely monged, but it never sounded as good when I wasn't. Saw them play a big venue in Offenbach in 1995, but I only really went because Dodgy were the support band. They sounded like they were tired and going through the motions already. It's funny how we forego the flippant thread titles when someone dies relatively young. What's the cut-off age for a black humour OTF tribute?

Well both struggled with Bipolar disorder. Both had a pretty grim time of it growing up, in broadly similar, and all too common ways. One was intensely private though and had the money to live in that privacy, and revealed what happened to her, primarily as a means of explaining unfortunate incidents.

Originally posted by Reginald ChristOne interesting thing to note is that The Cranberries' American success began to take root during their 1994 tour supporting Suede. This was the tour where Bernard Butler grew sick of being in the band and would often not turn up for shows, leaving The Cranberries' guitarist to cover for him! By the end of the tour, in what must have felt like a complete humiliation for Suede, The Cranberries were the headline act.
