Dolores O’Riordan, the stand out voice of Irish alternative band the Cranberries has passed away at 46. Circumstances related to her death are not yet known, but O’Riordan’s profound influence is being felt in many tributes online today.

In her native home of Ireland, O’Riordan’s sudden passing has become a national story which shows how appreciated she was in the place where her prolific career started. RTE  reported on the Irish response to the beloved singer.

“The band are floored but it’s of course her family we’re all thinking of right now. Out of the West came this storm of a voice – she had such strength of conviction yet she could speak to the fragility in all of us. Limerick’s ‘Bel canto’.” Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry.

I once met Delores O’Riordan when I was 15. She was kind and lovely, I got her autograph on my train ticket and it made my day. She had the most amazing voice and presence. So sorry to hear that she’s passed away today x

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.
