The music world was stunned yesterday to learn of the sudden death of singer-songwriter Dolores O'Riordan at the age of 46. 

A statement from the singer's publicist said: "The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries was in London for a short recording session."

Here is an official statement posted by The Cranberries on the band's official Twitter handle:


We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today. Noel, Mike and Fergal


Last night, TJR and I videotaped a tribute to Dolores O'Riordan. There were not many details available, but our aim in making this video tribute was to celebrate the Irish singer's legacy, and the wonderful music she left for all of us:
