Born the youngest of seven on September 6, 1971 outside Limerick, Ireland, Dolores O'Riordan grew up finding solace in music, singing from an early age as well as playing classical piano and harmonium in church. In 1990 she tried out for lead singer in the Limerick-based Cranberry Saw Us and received the part, impressing her future bandmates with her style. The group eventually changed its name to the Cranberries and became one of the biggest alternative rock acts of the 1990s. She contributed a song to Italian superstar Zucchero's album of duets, Zucchero & Co., and in May 2007 her solo full-length debut, Are You Listening, was released worldwide. On January 15, 2018, O'Riordan passed away at the age of 46 in London, England. ~ Marisa Brown
