We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dolores O’Riordan from The Cranberries and D.A.R.K., who died suddenly at the age of 46 in London on January 15, 2018. Her beautiful voice inspired a whole generation and touched the hearts of so many of us, and our thoughts are with her family and friends. We’ll leave you with some words from Dolores’ D.A.R.K. band mates:
Band mate and partner Olé Koretsky said, “My friend, partner, and the love of my life is gone. My heart is broken and it is beyond repair. Dolores is beautiful. Her art is beautiful. Her family is beautiful. The energy she continues to radiate is undeniable. I am lost. I miss her so much. I will continue to stumble around this planet for some time knowing well there’s no real place for me here now.”
“I am heartbroken and devastated by the news of the sudden and unexpected passing of Dolores,” said band mate Andy Rourke. “I have truly enjoyed the years we spent together and feel privileged to call her a close friend. It was a bonus to work with her in our band D.A.R.K. and witness firsthand her breathtaking and unique talent. I will miss her terribly. I send my love and condolences to her family and loved ones.”
