In the end its all over now and that is exactly how The Cranberries have decided to wrap up their career.
“I can’t think of a more fitting way to commemorate the first anniversary of Dolores’ passing and to celebrate her life than to announce to the world the release of her final album with the band, announced ”Eileen O’Riordan, Dolores O’Riordan’s mother who passed away in January 2018.
The release of ‘All Over Now’ comes exactly one year to the day after the death of Dolores, co-founder and lead singer of The Cranberries. Dolores died from an accidental drowning in a bathtub in London on 15 January, 2016.
Surviving Cranberries members Noel Hogan, Mike Hogan and Fergal Lawler have decided to finish the band with this one final album ‘In The End’. The 11 songs from the album were created from May 2017 to November 2017 and reached demo stage by the time of her death. “Dolores was so energized by the prospect of making this record and to getting back out on the road to play the songs live” recalls Noel.
Noel revisited the songs after Dolores passed and decided to finish them off as a tribute to his band’s co-founder. “We knew this had to be one of the, if not the, best Cranberries album that we could possibly do. The worry was that we would destroy the legacy of the band by making an album that wasn’t up to standard. Once we had gone through all the demos that Dolores and I had worked on and decided that we had such a strong album we knew it would be the right thing and the best way that we could honour Dolores.”
