DOLORES O’ RIORDAN

Dolores Mary Eileen O’Riordan (/oʊˈrɪərdən/; 6 September 1971 – 15 January 2018) was an Irish musician and singer-songwriter. She led the rock band The Cranberries for 13 years before the band took a break starting in 2003, reuniting in 2009.[1]
Her first solo album Are You Listening? was released in May 2007 and was followed up by No Baggage in 2009. O’Riordan is notable for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice,[2] for yodeling and for her strong Limerick accent.[3] She appeared as a judge on RTÉ’s The Voice of Ireland during the 2013/14 season. In April 2014, O’Riordan joined Jetlag (now called D.A.R.K.)[4] and began recording new material. In May 2017, Dolores declared that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[5]

Early life[edit]
Dolores Mary Eileen O’Riordan was born and brought up in the Ballybricken area of County Limerick, Ireland. She was the daughter of Terence and Eileen O’Riordan and the youngest of seven children. She attended Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ school in Limerick.[6]
Career[edit]
The Cranberries[edit]
Main article: The Cranberries
In 1990 O’Riordan auditioned and won the role of lead singer for a band called The Cranberry Saw Us (later changed to The Cranberries).[citation needed]
The band released five albums: Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? (1993), No Need to Argue (1994), To the Faithful Departed (1996), Bury the Hatchet (1999) and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001) and a greatest-hits compilation entitled Stars: The Best of 1992–2002 (2002), before they went on hiatus in 2003.[citation needed]
Throughout the ’90s, O’Riordan was recognised for her changing hairstyles, from shoulder-length to very short crop in myriad colours and shades.[7] She sometimes performed barefoot on stage.[7]
On 25 August 2009, while promoting her solo album No Baggage in New York City on 101.9 RXP radio, O’Riordan announced the reunion of The Cranberries for a world tour. The tour began in North America in mid November, followed by South America in mid January 2010 and Europe in March 2010.[8] Also touring with the original members of The Cranberries was musician Denny DeMarchi, who played the keyboard for O’Riordan’s solo albums.[9] The band played songs from O’Riordan’s solo albums, many of The Cranberries’ classics, as well as new songs the band had been working on. On 9 June 2010 The Cranberries performed at the Special Olympics opening ceremony at Thomond Park in Limerick. This was the first time the band had performed in their native city in over fifteen years.[citation needed]
On 26 May 2016, the band announced that they would start a tour in Europe. The first show was held on 3 June.[citation needed]
Solo career[edit]
It was rumoured that in 2003 O’Riordan was to feature on the soundtrack to Spider-Man 2 with the song “Black Widow”, which is featured on her first solo album Are You Listening?.[citation needed] However, she dismissed this as an unfounded Internet rumour during an interview in 2007.[10] In 2004, O’Riordan appeared with the Italian artist Zucchero on the album Zu & Co., with the song “Pure Love”. The album also featured other artists such as Sting, Sheryl Crow, Luciano Pavarotti, Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker, Macy Gray and Eric Clapton. The same year she worked with composer Angelo Badalamenti on the Evilenko soundtrack, providing vocals on several tracks, including “Angels Go to Heaven”, the movie theme.[citation needed]

O’Riordan promoting her debut solo album Are You Listening? in 2007
In 2005, she appeared on the Jam & Spoon’s album Tripomatic Fairytales 3003 as a guest vocalist on the track “Mirror Lover”.[citation needed] O’Riordan also made a cameo appearance in the Adam Sandler comedy Click, released on 23 June 2006, as a wedding singer performing an alternate version of The Cranberries’ song “Linger”, set to strings.[citation needed]
The first single, “Ordinary Day”, was produced by BRIT Awards winner, Youth, whose previous credits include The Verve, Embrace, Primal Scream, U2 and Paul McCartney.[citation needed]
O’Riordan made an appearance live on The Late Late Show on 20 April 2007.[citation needed]
Are You Listening? was released on 4 May 2007 in the Republic of Ireland. It was subsequently released in Europe on 7 May 2007, and in North America on 15 May 2007, with “Ordinary Day” as its first single, released in late April. The video for “Ordinary Day” was shot in Prague. In August “When We Were Young” was released as the second single lifted from the album.[11][12]
On 19 November 2007, she cancelled the remainder of her European Tour (Lille, Paris, Luxembourg, Warsaw and Prague) due to illness.[citation needed] O’Riordan went on to perform a few small American club gigs in December, including Des Moines, Nashville, and a well-received free show in Charlottesville, Virginia.[13] On the last day of 2008, it was announced on her official website that her second album, No Baggage, featuring eleven tracks, would be released on 24 August 2009.[citation needed]
In 2008 Dolores O’Riordan won an EBBA Award. Every year the European Border Breakers Awards recognise the success of ten emerging artists or groups who reached audiences outside their own countries with their first internationally released album in the past year.[14]
D.A.R.K.[edit]
O’Riordan began recording new material with Jetlag in April 2014.[4] At the origin a collaboration between Andy Rourke of The Smiths and Ole Koretsky, it then changed name to become D.A.R.K. Their first album, Science Agrees, was released on 9 September 2016.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
On 18 July 1994, O’Riordan married Don Burton, the former tour manager of Duran Duran. Their first child, Taylor Baxter, was born on 23 November 1997.[citation needed] Molly Leigh was born on 27 January 2001, and Dakota Rain on 10 April 2005.[citation needed] In 1998 the couple bought a 61-hectare (150-acre) stud farm, called Riversfield Stud, located in Kilmallock, County Limerick, selling it six years later in 2004.[15] They then moved to Howth, County Dublin, and spent summers in a log cabin located in Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada that was bought in 1994.[16][17] In 2009, the family moved full-time to their home in Buckhorn.[18] In August 2013, O’Riordan returned to live in Ireland. O’Riordan and Burton split up in 2014 after 20 years together, and subsequently divorced.[19]
Dolores was raised as a Roman Catholic.[20] Her mother was a devout Catholic who chose her name in reference to the Lady of the Seven Dolours. She admired the late Pope John Paul II. After meeting him inside Vatican City, O’Riordan remarked: “[He] was lovely, very saintly. I was mad about him. I thought he really cared for the poor and he loved to meet the people. I saw him when he came to Limerick, when I was a kid. So it was pretty mindblowing to take my mum out to meet him.”[21] She was invited by Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican’s annual Christmas concerts, and performed there several times, in 2001, 2002 and 2005.[citation needed]
In 2006, O’Riordan was listed among the ten richest women in Ireland.[22]
On 10 November 2014, O’Riordan was arrested and charged in connection with an assault on an Aer Lingus flight from New York to Shannon. An air hostess and a policeman were assaulted and O’Riordan was held in custody following a visit to hospital herself.[23][24]
Death[edit]
While in London, England, for a short recording session, O’Riordan died suddenly on January 15, 2018. She was 46 years old. The cause of death has not immediately been made public.[25]
