Dolores O'Riordan Biography
Dolores O'Riordan is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on September 6, 1971 in Ballybricken, County Limerick, Ireland. Irish rocker best well-known as the lead vocalist of the group The Cranberries, whos hits include “Linger” and “Zombie.”
The Cranberries The group’s first single “Ordinary Day” was produced by BRIT Awards winner, Youth who has previously worked with Paul McCartney.
O’Riordan has been recognised as a style icon, sporting a pixie cut or buzzed hair in the 1990s, and performing barefoot, saying “it just feels comfortable and honest to pull your toes along the ground”. The New York Times mentioned that O’Riordan was responsible for a large portion of Dr. Martens boots sales in the 1990s.
In mid-1990, on a Sunday afternoon, O’Riordan and Quinn came up at the band’s rehearsal room, Noel Hogan later recalled that “Niall came up with Dolores on that Sunday and I remember she was shy, very soft-spoken. Not the Dolores that everyone grew to know. And she comes in and we’re just kind of a gang of young guys sitting around the place. It must have been very, very intimidating for her”. O’Riordan sang a couple of songs that she had written herself and she also did a Sinéad O’Connor song, “Troy”. The band was impressed and gave her a cassette with instrumentals, asking her if she could work on it. When she returned with a rough version of “Linger”, she was hired. Hogan told Rolling Stone that “the minute she sang, you know, it was like your jaw drops at her voice. Dolores was musically far superior to me, because she had been doing it all her life”. They recorded demo tapes, including Nothing Left At All, a three-track EP released on tape by local record label Xeric Records, which sold 300 copies. The owner of Xeric Studios, Pearse Gilmore, became their manager and provided the group with studio time to complete another demo tape, which he produced. It featured early versions of “Linger” and “Dreams”, which were sent to record companies in the UK. This demo gained attention from both the UK press and record industry, and sparked a bidding war between record labels. Eventually, the group signed with Island Records. The group changed their name to “The Cranberries” and released a four-track EP, Uncertain. Before the recording of the debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, O’Riordan experienced difficult touring conditions with low-income, sleeping on people’s floors and in cramped vans across Ireland and UK. Furthermore, she had to overcome her shyness at the time during the early live performances with the Cranberries, singing “with her back to the audience”, noted Hogan. Lawler recalled, “we just went up, and we had six songs. Dolores was turned to the side; Noel, Mike and I had our heads down”.
Her husband was the former Duran Duran Tour manager Don Burton from 1994 until 2014. The couple had three children: Taylor Baxter, Molly Leigh as well as Dakota Rain.

Early in 1992, O’Riordan injured her cruciate ligament in a ski accident at the Alps’ Val d’Isère and underwent major surgery. Her leg injury reoccurred unexpectedly, and led to cancellation of the three concerts scheduled in Ireland for December 1994. This resulted in a press backlash, while the audience was more understanding, as O’Riordan had mentioned that the concerts were not cancelled but postponed until June 1995.
At O’Riordan’s funeral service, both young and old travelled from all over the world to pay their respects in person, including Spain, China and South America, as well as numerous politicians of Ireland. A place of pilgrimage, the grave of O’Riordan continues to attract devotees from around the world. O’Riordan’s commitment to her roots, which was consolidated by her authenticity, attracted fascination. According to Una Mullally of The New York Times, O’Riordan’s native accent positioned the Cranberries as a “truly” Irish band playing with a traditionalist mentality of integrity whose “global success was instigated by how America embraced them”, by their music videos in “heavy rotation”, and “crucially, by American radio”. Rolling Stone stated in 1995 that the Cranberries were “Ireland’s biggest musical export since U2”. Paul Sexton and others of Billboard, along with The New York Times, have acknowledged O’Riordan and the Cranberries’ influence on people, citing them as “one of the biggest-selling rock bands of the ’90s”. Ethnomusicologist Dr Aileen Dillane, commented that “countless other writers and twitter commentators reminisced upon how the band seemed to encapsulate the 90s zeitgeist, and on the profound impact they and Dolores as lead singer had on their lives and sense of who (and where) they were in the world at that time”.
