Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer of rock group The Cranberries, has died suddenly at the age of 46.

Irish media have reported that the singer died in London while there for a recording session.

The Irish musician, originally from Limerick, led the band to international success in the 1990s with singles including Linger and Zombie.

The singer suffered from bi‑polar disorder and was spared a criminal conviction after an air rage incident in 2014.

The Cranberries shot to international fame with their 1993 debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? and went on to sell over 40 million records worldwide.
