"The Cranberries founders played live for the first time since the death of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan eight years ago, and the name of the superstar vocalist charged with filling her shoes had been kept a closely guarded secret. Power Over Me singer Dermot Kennedy took over vocal duties as the brothers performed Cranberries hits on the main stage on Sunday afternoon with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. The band have released an extended 40-track reissue of their 1994 debut album No Need To Argue."
"Earlier this month, Cranberries drummer Fergal Lawler said he was surprised at how difficult he found listening to old studio recordings of the band's late singer. The late O'Riordan's former band mates have delved into the archives for an extended 40-track reissue of their 1994 album No Need To Argue. Lawler admitted revisiting old outtakes was a "bittersweet" experience. "Dolores is speaking in-between takes. And it was hard," he said. "There's a lot of fond memories from that time."
