(CNN)Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer of the Irish band The Cranberries, died in London on Monday, according to a statement from her publicist.
O'Riordan, who was 46, died "suddenly" according to the statement, but no details were given on the cause of her death.
The singer was in London for a short recording session, the statement added.
The Cranberries rose to global fame in the mid-1990s with a string of hits, including "Linger," "Zombie" and "Dreams." The group, from Limerick, has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide.
In 2007 O'Riordan launched a solo project with her album "Are you Listening?" before reuniting with the group in 2009. That same year she also teamed up with The Smiths' bassist Andy Rourke and DJ Ole Koretsky to form the group D.A.R.K. In 2017, the Cranberries' canceled many dates on their Europe and North America tour, with the band citing O'Riordan's ongoing back problems as the cause.

I met her briefly in 1994. They played at my college when they were first touring the US, and I did security for the show with some of my friends. Cool chick and very talented band.

Why couldn’t it be Barbra Streisand instead?
RIP
Chick had a sexy voice and The Cranberries were one of the better bands of the mid-90’s.
The Irish master race has lost another, and that goofy cunt jetrepulsion is loving it, I recon.

Ahh.. Yes, OD from big pharma pills. Any confirmation it was meds? Fcking insane, those pills. I know a guy who blew out his knee slipping on his icy driveway, had surgery, took pain pills and ended up divorced and living on people's sofa's and dope within about 2 years.

Also she had to cancel some tour dates I think in Dec due to severe back pain. Big Pharma will kill you. Cannabis will not. But you can't grow oxys in your back yard and Jeff Sessions aint getting no kickbacks from keeping people OUT of prison
