Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan dies suddenly aged 46 The Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan has died suddenly at the age of 46, her publicist has confirmed. The Irish musician, originally from Limerick, led the band to international success in the 90s with singles including Linger and Zombie. A statement from her publicist said: "The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries was in London for a short recording session. "No further details are available at this time." A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said the police were called to a hotel in Park Lane at 09:05 GMT on Monday, where "a woman in her mid-40s" was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is, at this stage, unexplained. Her current band mates in The Cranberries - Noel Hogan, Fergal Lawler, and Mike Hogan - paid tribute to the lead singer on social media. The message said: "She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to been part of her life from 1989." www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42696376

Some credit Zombie being a large reason the fighting in N. Ireland ended. The song is inspired by the murder of 2 young girls.

'Zombie" remains one of the most popular English language songs in Myanmar. Everyone knows it. It's Hotel California-ish.
Damn. 46. That's a year younger than me.

While waiting for our house to be built, we lived with my wife's daughter. Her friend was helping her dressmaking, I was listening to a CD, which happened to be The Cranberries 1st CD. She asked if I had Zambie, to which I replied I'd never heard of it. A few minutes later and Zombie comes on, and they both yell Zambie. 555
