R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan

Sad and surprising.

Her Celtic ululations were antithetical to my ears, but man, that is way too young to depart this mortal coil. I actually saw The Cranberries [twice] when they opened for Duran Duran on their Ordinary World Tour back in '93.

Very shocked and sad - I'm (almost) her same age.

Really hope her post-Cranberries solo work isn't forgotten - gotta love someone who can collaborate with both Jah Wobble -and- Luciano Pavarotti.

Was never a big fan, but 46 is wayyyyy too soon to go.

Also, to absolutely no one's surprise:

Sucks that it takes death to return one to The Charts (though did Motorhead's "vintage" records chart after Fast Eddie's death?).
