    I still can't believe this. 
    I think she had 3 younger children too.
    What a loss.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Never really got into The Cranberries but no doubt she had an iconic voice. May she rest well and may the music live on in the hearts and souls of her fans!

    What a voice. Deaths like these make your teen years seem that much further away. 
    Isn’t this the truth?! It’s like, god damn it, why are all my contemporaries dying? We’re not old enough for this shit yet.

    Spent the last couple of months rediscovering her music. When I saw her name pop up this afternoon I couldn't fucking believe it. Another one gone too soon.

    Zombie, memories of my childhood. That song was always on music video shows and radio back then. I don't know there music other than those that topped charts. But Zombie takes me back. May she R.I.P. too young so sad.

    I'm devastated over this sad news. Will probably listen to the cranberries now for days on end.

    either that or accidental. THIS IS SPECULATION: given her back problems and also bipolarity, she may have been on a variety of meds. I know of an canadian artist (Matt Good) who accidentally took too many of his pills for his bipolarity and ended up almost dead and in the hospital for a while. he wrote an album about it, called "Hospital Music".

    Don't want to hijack the thread, but +1 for "Hospital Music". Stellar album.

    Regardless of the cause of death, I hope Dolores has found peace.

    The music still sounds as good as it did back then. I wouldn't be surprised if Bipolar was the culprit. Many of the suicides I've seen in practice happen during the 'low'. Regardless, RIP. So sad.
