Such a shame. I watched her being interviewed for something last year and remember thinking what a lovely person she seemed. For some reason I always thought she had quite a harsh persona back in the 90's when The Cranberry's were big. It was good to find out she was actually a really sweet person.

I've just heard the news, it's unbelievable. Cranberries were part of my childhood's soundtrack.
