The new album will feature vocals by Dolores O'Riordan recorded months before her death.
Fergal Lawler and Noel Hogan Dolores O'Riordan 's bandmates in The Cranberries , spoke to The Guardian about the singer's final days, who passed away in January of this year.
During the interview, her bandmates revealed that Dolores had been talking to them about her struggles with mental health after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016.
“It was only in the last few years that she started talking about it, because she didn’t really know herself,” Lawler says, “She had already seen a few different psychologists and realized she needed to seek treatment for it.”
Hogan reveals that, despite her struggles, Dolores was seeking help and was on her way to something better, hoping to start a tour in China. “Lately, she was herself. During the last rehearsals, you wouldn’t even notice anything was wrong, because the doctors had found the right medicine for her.”
“She was very excited to get back on stage, even with the back problems she had,” Hogan said. He also confirmed that the band is preparing a new studio album with the vocals that Dolores recorded months before her death. The work will mark the end of The Cranberries. The guitarist confessed that the album will be very strong in terms of songwriting, “She always said that she found it difficult to write when she was happy.”
Information regarding The Cranberries' latest release should be revealed soon.
