Dolores was a mum-of-three and died in London where she was for a recording session.

"The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries, was in London for a short recording session.
"Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time."

The band split in 2003, before getting back together in 2009. They released their latest album, Something Else, in 2017.Explore more on these topics:
