The Cranberries -laulaja Dolores O’Riordan menehtyi vain tunteja ennen Bad Wolves -yhtyeen kanssa suunniteltuja ”Zombie” -coversessioita

Eilen vain 46-vuotiaana menehtynyt The Cranberries -vokalisti Dolores O’Riordan menehtyi vain tunteja ennen, kuin hänen oli määrä astella studioon. Doloresin oli tarkoitus laulaa Bad Wolves -yhtyeen äänittämällä cover-versiolla The Cranberriesin ”Zombie” -hitistä . Muun muassa Divine Heresyn ja God Forbidin ex-jäsenistä kasatun Bad Wolvesin nokkamies Tommy Vext kommentoi suru-uutista seuraavasti:

“We are shocked and saddened at the news of Dolores’s passing, mere hours before she was to record vocals on our upcoming version of ”Zombie”. We have always had deep respect for her as an artist and a vocalist and she was never afraid to bare her soul in her music and lyrics.

”Zombie” is an incredibly personal song and although we are a hard rock band, we always felt the rawness and honesty she projected on stage and in her recordings was something to which all bands should aspire to, regardless of genre. When we heard she liked our version and wanted to sing on it, it was the greatest compliment a new band, or any band for that matter, could have received.

Our hearts are broken that we were not able to see this collaboration through and our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, loved ones and fans in Ireland and around the globe. We hope we can still make her proud by sharing our version of ”Zombie” with the world.”
