Yeah, this one came out of nowhere.

 

[Dave]

Really, REALLY out of nowhere! I love the Cranberries.

Really, REALLY out of nowhere! I love the Cranberries.

At your age, this comes as no surprise.

Holy crap, 46? I remember listening to Zombie back in the 90s and being struck by her unique vocal style.

That's really sad. And no cause of death anywhere that I can find... and to be so young, that generally means drugs :/

 

[PatrThom]

Or suicide.

...or both.
(Or “misadventure”)

I had read that she had been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder in recent years, so I have bad feeling suicide may be the case. But that is a shame. She had such a unique voice and I enjoyed a few of their albums.

Boo. God damn it. All my favorite lead vocalists are dying at an alarming rate.

I'm so bummed about this.

 

[sixpackshaker]

I've been listening to a couple of her albums recently.

I am just a little surprised how hard her death affected me.

I didn't recognize her name, but a couple of songs kept being mentioned (Zombie, Linger), listened to them, "oh yeah, these were cool." I was actually thinking about Zombie last month, but had no idea who had sung it or what to type to look it up.

46 is crazy. And sucks.

A 90's playlist wouldn't be complete without some Cranberries. She must have been in her early 20's when they hit it big. Sad to hear this news.
