London, Jan 16 (IBNS): Irish singer-songwriter Dolores O'Riordan, who was the frontwoman of the multi-million selling rock band The Cranberries, passed away on Monday.

She passed away in London.

She was 46.

Conforming the death of the singer, the band tweeted: "Irish and international singer Dolores O’Riordan has died suddenly in London today. She was 46 years old. Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time."

The death, according to reports, remained unexplained.

Other band members Noel, Mike and Fergal paid tributes to the singer by posting a small message that read: "We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today. Noel, Mike and Fergal."

Her first solo album, Are You Listening?, was released in May 2007 and was followed up by No Baggage in 2009. O'Riordan was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, her emphasized use of yodeling and for her strong Limerick accent.

She appeared as a judge on RTÉ's The Voice of Ireland during the 2013–14 season.

In April 2014, O'Riordan joined and began recording new material with the trio D.A.R.K.
