I said this on Facebook, but I'll say it ehre... sad is this is I would not be surprised if tis yet another suicide/overdose thing. I sued to know a major label guy whow as in charge of breaking the Cranberries in teh USA abck in teh 90s and he had soem stories. That band would have been bigger and had more longevity if she weren't mentally ill. not to blame ehr, just saying Iw as not as surprised as most.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6

Yeah, we were talking about this after a seesion today. She was crazy young. Somethin' is up.

oh defintiely, in the first article someone linked me to on facebook it mentioned a enar conviction on 'air rage' related charges... my industry cotnacted referred to her as 'a flake' who was tempermental, unreliable and probably mentally ill and told a few stories to support that. That guy is a dick (aren't they all) but he had no reason to be fabricating those anecdotes. it was more of a cautionary tale to the guys in my band about how the attractive, talented but mentally ill singer can get your band attention initially and then cause your career to plateau before you make the big bucks. By I soudla lsitened... and I shoulda applied that lesson to my marital decision but when a total major label dickwad is giving you advice you usually tune it out. In the Delores situation I can relate to the bandmates as well as the ex-husband!
