The Cranberries paid tribute to Dolores O’Riordan on what would have been her 49th birthday (06.09.20).<\/p>\n

The ‘Zombie’ hitmakers – Fergal Lawler and brothers Noel and Mike Hogan – took to their Facebook page to post a touching message to the late frontwoman.<\/p>\n

Alongside a picture of their bandmate, they wrote: \u201cHappy Birthday Dolores, you\u2019re in our thoughts and in our hearts, always. Ferg, Mike & Noel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolores tragically drowned to death after accidental alcohol intoxication, at the age of 46, in 2018.<\/p>\n

The ‘Linger’ hitmaker was laid to rest in January with a special service attended by close friends, family and the late star’s bandmates at St Ailbe’s Church in Ballybricken, Ireland, where Dolores first learnt to sing in the choir.<\/p>\n

In Dolores’ honour, a guitar, a platinum disc award and a photograph of Catholic figure Our Lady of Dolours, who Dolores was named after, were placed at the altar as a mark of respect.<\/p>\n

The Cranberries released their final album, ‘In The End’, in April 2019.<\/p>\n

The record went on to be nominated for a Grammy, which the band said Dolores “would be delighted” by.<\/p>\n

The group made the shortlist for the first time in their 30-year career in the Best Rock category, but the recognition was bittersweet almost two years after their singer passed away.<\/p>\n

Drummer Fergal said at the time: “We are extremely surprised and honoured to receive this Grammy nomination. We’re sure Dolores would be delighted.”<\/p>\n

The album features vocals recorded by Dolores before her tragic death and the remaining lineup finished work on the LP with the support of her family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
