The Cranberries is one band that many people from the 90's have grown up with. Fans will especially remember the haunting voice of singer Dolores O'Riordan, who recently died of unknown causes. Now, close friends and family members have shared their reactions to her early demise.

The singer's partner, Ole Koretsky, has broken his silence days after the death of her beloved partner. "Dolores is beautiful. Her art is beautiful. Her family is beautiful. The energy she continues to radiate is undeniable," writes Koretsky on the website of his band, D.A.R.K., where he played with the 46-year-old O'Rioridan.

"I am lost. I miss her so much. I will continue to stumble around this planet for some time knowing there's no real place for me here," the New York-based DJ and producer added.

Andy Rourke, a bandmate and close friend of the couple also shared his own sentiments on the website as well. "I will miss her terribly. I send my love and condolences to her family and loved ones," reads an excerpt from Rourke's writing.

In her immediate family's side of things, the grieving mother, Eileen O'Riordan, gives her thanks to everyone who has dropped by. "The people who queued to sign the book of condolence - some of them standing in the rain - it has meant a huge amount to us and has been a great source of comfort," says the mother as per Limerick Leader.

Dolores O'Riordan was found dead last Monday, Jan. 15. She was found dead in her hotel room in the Hilton hotel in Park Lane, London. As mentioned, the cause of death is yet to be known, but authorities have ruled it a non-suspicious death.

Although yet to be finalized, the funeral mass for the Cranberries singer will be at the church in Ballybricken, Ireland, where she played the piano and sang in the choir. Her final resting place will be at the Caherelly Cemetery, in a plot near her father, who passed away back in 2011.
