One of my favourite vocalists and just a fantastic entertainer live. RIP Dolores.
She had many demons she was dealing with. Can't help but think they maybe caught up to her (abused as a child, anorexia battle, chronic and severe back pain, she attempted suicide a few years ago).
Regardless, it's another great voice taken too soon.
Kind of tails off toward the end, but still pretty cool. Actually, I shouldn't say that. It just seemed like the choir tailed off, more because her voice was so unique, there's no way to really cover her music without sounding like you're doing it wrong.

Coroner has released the cause of death. Accidental drowning caused by alcohol intoxication. No evidence of self harm. Only therapeutic amounts of prescription medication.
“I can’t think of a more fitting way to commemorate the first anniversary of Dolores’ passing and to celebrate her life than to announce to the world the release of her final album with the band,” Eileen O’Riordan, Dolores’ mother, said in a statement.
“I miss her awfully, specially today, as does the entire family. She was very excited about this new album and was really looking forward to its release. I have no doubt that she is happy now and would be delighted with today’s announcement.”
