She'll be bank soon as a Zombie. Besides she wouldn't have wanted to Linger on. ... Seriously though, great voice and that's far too young to go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in recent times, saw them doing Linger live on some daytime TV newsy / talk thing at some event about a year ago and her voice was incredibly bad, turn the sound down bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously it was that bad I turned round to see who was murdering Linger and it was Delores herself And I liked quite a few of their songs, not a full on fan but, Chindies assessment was right, she had a great voice which I've witnessed live a few times including sound checks etc Edit: Found it Good Delores Bad Delores Amazing how many fans think that sounds great in the comments, I only noticed one person who spotted how bad it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Is it bad that the first thing I thought was ‘****, now i’m going to have to hear that horrendous Zombie song on repeat for the next week?’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Never a fan of the cranberries but that is way too young to go. Also very sad news re Cyril Regis - only met him once at the sty (I was being paid to be there) and he was a really nice guy and looked fitter than the vast majority of players on show. He must’ve been mid-forties then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very simple yet a great song of my youth. 46 is no age, horrible news, and I'm sad about Regis too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
