My first time hearing Dolores O'Riordan's voice was unforgettable. It threw into question what a voice could sound like in that context of Rock. I'd never heard somebody use their instrument in that way. Shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, thoughts are with her family.

I once met Delores O’Riordan when I was 15. She was kind and lovely, I got her autograph on my train ticket and it made my day. She had the most amazing voice and presence. So sorry to hear that she’s passed away today x

Incredibly sad to hear one of my musical idols Dolores O'Riordan, of the Cranberries, has passed away. I feel honoured to have been able to cover one of their iconic songs in Pitch Perfect. Devastating.
