The tributes began with Dolores' fellow band members, who said 'The World has lost a true artist.'
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.

Hozier said he is 'shocked and saddened'
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.

James Corden described Dolores as 'kind and lovely' with an 'amazing voice and presence'
I once met Delores O’Riordan when I was 15. She was kind and lovely, I got her autograph on my train ticket and it made my day. She had the most amazing voice and presence. So sorry to hear that she’s passed away today x

While Foster the People perfectly summed up her amazing voice, saying she fully embraced 'masculine and feminine energy in one cohesive sound. She was a true pioneer.'
Shocked and heartbroken over Dolores O’Riordan’s death. The Cranberries were pinnacle in showing me that it was possible to fully embrace masculine and feminine energy in one cohesive sound. She was a true pioneer ?
