Yeah same. I never heard of it ever, never brought up in conversation, not on the radio, until I saw it on Youtube last year. Out of all the 90s hits on youtube thats the one ive seen with the most views ... and yet it just sounds meh to me.
Its very sad to see a person die at 46 though. Especially a talented individual.
Great BAND! I absolutely loved the "Linger" song! "Do you have to, do you have to...do you have to let it linger???"
Seriously, when I got news of this from my brother it actually didn't seem real. I'm like, but she couldn't even be 50. *I checked* Ughhh, 46!!! What the heck happened???
She has some of the most classic 90s songs including Zombie, Linger, Free to Decide, Salvation, and Promises.
Like many singers who emerged in the 1990s, she has suffered. Depression Bipolar disorder Childhood abuse (sexual) Severe body pain (in recent times) Drug and alcohol abuse History of suicide attempts
It's difficult to say her cause of death, but she was not healthy looking in the last year. If you caught performances in the last couple of years, you'll have noticed her singing had declined drastically. She also began to look physically frail in the last few years (she had blamed her guitar and jumping around on stage), and while she stopped playing it recently, through 2017 it was almost as though her frailty accelerated. She didn't have the heart she had before. It's sad.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
It is always upsetting when someone dies. But, I find it strange that her death is getting significant attention. She was moderately famous 20 years ago. In fact, I never even knew her name until yesterday - and I owned two Cranberries albums back in the day.

They were quite up there in popularity. The Cranberries had three #1 multi-platinum (and Diamond certified) albums in the 90s. Zombie was one of the biggest songs of the 1990s; a smash hit single off of a smash hit album (No Need to Argue). Their earlier work with Linger and Dreams became two of the most significant sleeper hits of the decade and were omnipresent on the radio just about worldwide.

No Need to Argue and To The Faithful Departed were two of my most listened to albums during my teens years. Such a shame, losing her so young. Feel especially bad for her children.
