Dolores O’Riordan, the frontwoman of the Cranberries, has died.
The singer's publicist confirmed the singer, 46, passed away while she "was in London for a short recording session." The cause of death was not immediately available.
"No further details are available at this time," O’Riordan’s publicist said in a statement to the BBC. "Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time."
O’Riordan led the Cranberries to global fame with standouts such as "Zombie" and "Linger." As one of the most successful rock acts of the '90s, the band sold over 40 million records worldwide.
O’Riordan is survived by her three children, 20-year-old son Taylor, 16-year-old daughter Molly and 12-year-old daughter Dakota.
“The best time in my life was the years spent at home with my family,” she said in an Irish News interview last May. “I love being a mum. My kids don’t see me as a famous person, or have any kind of expectation; I’m just their mum.
