‘Dolores would be very impressed!’
As fans of The Cranberries would be well aware, the iconic vocals of Dolores O'Riordan are very hard to live up too.
So when someone is able to pull off a cover of one of their sings that is in any way decent, it's worthy of some admiration.
Which is exactly what Miley Cyrus received over the weekend and early this week after her cover of 'Zombie' from the Whisky a Go Go #SOSFEST in LA went viral.
The performance has already been viewed over 1.3 million times, and now The Cranberries themselves have weighed in.
In a message on Twitter, The Cranberries declared that it was ‘one of the finest covers of the song that we’ve heard.’ Adding that ‘Dolores would be very impressed!’ while sharing a clip of the performance.
