On song facts website this is an amusing little quip someone said about the group


“On August 31, 1994, just a few weeks after this song was released, the IRA declared a ceasefire after 25 years of conflict, leading some critics of The Cranberries to wonder if the IRA was willing to call a truce to make sure the group didn't release any more songs about them.”

Ira still exists...



Nothin goes on without ther approval..

That's sudden. I was just listening to Linger the other day. She had a magic voice.

Brings back 90s memories. RIP, gone so young, gone like so many others from then.

R.I.P.

Far too talented.

Far too charismatic.

Far too unique.

Far too young.

Devastating news...

She loved animals too. "What's in your hay, in your hay? Brumby, brumby, brumby." One of the best horse-related songs of the early 1990s.

Is that a misheard lyric from Zombie?

What's in your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh

It's a shocker for sure mate , another icon gone to take their seat in rock heaven.
Starting to feel like 2016 over again.

Slow that role a little...
It's not like losing David Bowie.
Sad, yes, but not like losing a Legend.

I too will have a few drinks and a few songs tonight, always do after we lose one our good ones....

Almost spent most of 2017 drunk

We've lost a few...

bottoms up!

This is really a bummer. Awesome voice and spirit. Enjoyed their music a lot! RIP

She even inspired Siouxsie Sioux who initially inspired her and many others post Punk.

Updates are saying family and friends were growing concerned of her mental state-which as some may know she has been battling for years. Official word if her death is still being treated as unexplained.

ira loving scum....

IRA bomb victim's father pays tribute to Cranberries star.

Colin Parry's 12-year-old son Tim was killed alongside three-year-old Jonathan Ball in 1993 when two IRA bombs detonated in Cheshire. The Cranberries recorded the single Zombie in 1994 in memory of the two boys. Mr Parry told BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme he had been touched by the lyrics but had not known their significance until after the singer's death.

"The words are both majestic and also very real.

"The event at Warrington, like the many events that happened all over Ireland and Great Britain, affected families in a very real way and many people have become immune to the pain and suffering that so many people experienced during that armed campaign.

"To read the words written by an Irish band in such compelling way was very, very powerful.

"I likened it to the enormous amount of mail expressing huge sympathy that we received in the days, weeks and months following our loss.

"Proportionately a very high total of that total came from the island of Ireland," he said.
"It was a shock that a lady so young should die so unexpectedly," he added.

Another life gone to depression. Terrible.

TRAGIC Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan was "dreadfully depressed" before she was found dead as cops reveal they are not treating her death aged 46 as suspicious.
