The Cranberries had been working on a new album that will come out in the spring. A statement from the band reads: “…By December 2017, Dolores O’Riordan had completed and recorded the vocals to final demo stage on the eleven songs [featured] on this recording, and we had planned to go into the studio to complete the album in early 2018.

After Dolores’ devastating and unexpected passing in January 2018, we took some time out and put all plans on hold. As time passed, we began to think about how we might best honour our close friend and bandmate. This was a very painful process. We remembered how Dolores had been so energised by the prospect of making this record and getting back out on the road to play the songs live, and realised that the most meaningful thing to do was to finish the album we had started with her. We felt that this is what she would want. We spoke with Dolores’ family and they agreed.”

The album “In the End’ is due out April 26th. To mark the first anniversary of Dolores’s passing, The Cranberries released the lead single “All Over Now” yesterday. Check it out! (Photo: Far Out Magazine)
