Dolores O’Riordan died in London. She was just 46 years old. She is survived by her three children.
Dolores O’Riordan has died. According to her rep, her death was sudden, but further details surrounding what caused her tragic passing have not been made available. TMZ reported that O’Riordan was in London “for a recording session” with the rest of the band at the time of her death. The lead singer of popular 90s group, The Cranberries, was just 46 years old. She is survived by her three children, Taylor Baxter, Dakota Rain, and Molly Leigh.
O’Riordan married her now-ex-husband Don Burton in 1994. The couple exchanged vows at Holycross Abbey, Tipperary, and celebrated at a reception held at Aherlow House Hotel, according to the Irish Mirror.
O’Riordan met Burton, who worked as a tour manager for Duran Duran, while on tour in the 90s. The couple welcomed their first child, their son, Taylor, on November 23,1997.
Before Taylor was born, O’Riordan suffered from severe depression. However, she says that getting pregnant pulled her out of that dark time.
“The first time I felt the baby in my stomach I was so moved, it was such a beautiful feeling, that I sat down and wrote a song,” O’Riordan recalled during an interview with The Telegraph in 1999. The song that she wrote, “Dying in the Sun,” was featured on Bury The Hatchett, an album released by The Cranberries in 1999.
“Do you remember/The things we used to say?/I feel so nervous/When I think of yesterday./How could I let things/Get to me so bad?/How did I let things get to me?” read the song’s lyrics.
“I’ve just moved on. Having a baby does that. No matter what happens in my day, I think of him and I smile,” O’Riordan said.
On January 27,2001, O’Riordan and Burton welcomed their daughter, Molly, and on April 10,2005, the couple welcomed their third child, a daughter they named Dakota.
