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.

You are with us always…..
Love, Ferg, Mike and Noel.
We are shocked and saddened to hear of Sinead’s sudden passing. We have all been big fans for many years. Our thoughts are with her family. May she rest in peace.
Fergal, Mike and Noel
It’s hard to believe that three years have gone by since Dolores passed on.
She is always in our thoughts and our hearts.
So many years of fond memories.
Wherever you are D, we hope you’re bringing joy with your unique voice.
Ferg, Mike and Noel
We were delighted to hear of Miley Cyrus’ cover of Zombie at the Whisky a Go Go #SOSFEST in LA at the weekend. It’s one of the finest covers of the song that we’ve heard. We think Dolores would be very impressed! Check it out here:
"We are so delighted with the news that Zombie has reached 1 Billion views on YouTube! 🎉 We are sure Dolores has a big, proud smile on her face too. Thank you so much to all our fans around the world for supporting us over so many years." ❤️

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the release of our debut album “Everybody Else is doing it so why can’t we”. In recent weeks we have had a number of media enquiries asking if we were planning anything to commemorate this milestone...full info at cranberries.com
On March 1st 1993, we released our debut album ‘Everybody Else is Doing it, So Why Can’t We?'
Thirty years seems like a long time, but it’s filled with many warm memories and so much gratitude for the support we have received. Thank you all
Hi All, Dolores here. Feeling good! I did my first bit of gigging in months at the weekend, performed a few songs at the Billboard annual staff holiday party in New York with the house band. Really enjoyed it! Happy Christmas to all our fans!! Xo
“Ferg here. It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years since Dolores’s passing. Linger was playing on the radio this morning, listening to it was both sad + uplifting. Sad because she has passed but uplifting because she will always be with us through her voice and her songs.”
Happy Birthday Dolores. Thinking of you fondly today.
We always carry you with us in our hearts and in our thoughts.
Love Always,
Ferg, Mike and Noel

Where it all began. Underworld, 1991. Our first ever London show.
“I’m such a lucky blessed person. I’m so thankful to God for what I have. On my eleven years of touring, I’ve seen so much deprivation and sadness. Life’s so short, it’s essential to put love and happiness first. I can’t function without love.” - letter from Dolores on 21/05/2001
Whatever happens at the Grammys today just being nominated for best rock album is a huge honour that Dolores would be so proud of. Sitting here waiting for the announcement feels so surreal without her. We will forever be greatful to and will always miss our sister in music.
Hey all “Zombie” fans check out track 17 “In your head” on ’s new album just released today. Hope you like it!
Woodstock, August '94. An unforgettable moment in our career - and no phones!
We reckon this is the first ever photo taken of us! It's a bit blurry because it's so old. Every beginning has an end - what a ride.
left our world five years ago. Sometimes it feels like it was a moment ago, other times it feels like ages have passed. Her spirit, her voice and her energy will continue on, inspiring and encouraging us every day of every year. We miss you D. Ferg, Mike and Noel. x
It is with deep sadness that we announce that our dear loving mother Anne passed away last night after a short illness. She was an inspiration to both of us throughout our lives and careers and we and all our family will miss her forever. Noel and Mike

We are humbly honoured with the news that our final album “In the End” has been nominated for a 2020 Grammy in the category of Best Rock Album.
It’s a fitting tribute to Dolores and her truly amazing talents. She would be immensely proud.
Noel's dug this one out from his collection, a beautiful snap with Dolores when she was expecting her first child.
Unfortunately our record label has had to defer the release of our 25th anniversary edition of “No Need To Argue” until Nov 13th due to logistical issues associated with the worldwide covid-19 pandemic. We are so sorry to disappoint, but this is very much out of our control.
