LONDON: Dolores O'Riordan, whose urgent, powerful voice helped make Irish rock band The Cranberries a global success in the 1990s, died suddenly on Monday at a London hotel. As the female lead singer of a hugely successful rock band, she blazed a trail and might just have been Limerick's greatest ever rock star. The band released three more studio albums before splitting up in 2003. O'Riordan released a solo album, Are You Listening, in 2007, and another, No Baggage, in 2009. The Cranberries released the acoustic album Something Else in 2017 and had been due to tour Europe and North America.
