O’Riordan’s PR agency released a statement regarding her untimely death, announcing, “Irish and international singer Dolores O’Riordan has died suddenly in London today. She was 46 years old.”

“The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries, was in London for a short recording session. No further details are available at this time,” the statement continued.

One fan noted that “46 is too young” to die, and added, “What a loss. The Cranberries will forever be the sound of my teens.”

“The Cranberries take me back to a different time. Got me through some of the angst and up/downs of my last long term relationship. Sad to hear Dolores has died,” another fan tweeted.

“Take Me To Church” singer Hozier also made a statement.

“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,” Hozier wrote.

Stand-up comedienne and Girls actress Lane Moore tweeted out, “Dolores O’Riordan died today & my heart is shattered & im crying in public.
