One of Dolores O’Riordan’s side project was D.A.R.K. (formerly Jetlag), a trio featuring her vocals, Olé Koretsky, and The Smiths’ Andy Rourke. The trio released their debut album Science Agrees in 2016.
Rourke said, “I am heartbroken and devastated by the news of the sudden and unexpected passing of Dolores. I have truly enjoyed the years we spent together and feel privileged to call her a close friend. It was a bonus to work with her in our band D.A.R.K. and witness firsthand her breathtaking and unique talent. I will miss her terribly. I send my love and condolences to her family and loved ones.”
Olé Koretsky adds, “My friend, partner, and the love of my life is gone. My heart is broken and it is beyond repair. Dolores is beautiful. Her art is beautiful. Her family is beautiful. The energy she continues to radiate is undeniable. I am lost. I miss her so much. I will continue to stumble around this planet for some time knowing well there's no real place for me here now.”

BAD WOLVES

New York rock band Bad Wolves said Dolores O’Riordan was set to record her vocals for their cover “Zombie”, but upon hearing the tragic news, the band decided to release their version of “Zombie” in her memory.
The band (singer Tommy Vext, drummer John Boecklin, guitarist Chris Cain, guitarist Doc Coyle, and bassist Kyle Konkiel) announced that proceeds of the song will go directly to O’Riordan’s three children. You can buy the single at Amazon and iTunes.
“It was the greatest honor to know she liked our version and wanted to sing on it,” says Bad Wolves singer Tommy Vext. “We’re deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Dolores and by the fact that she’s leaving behind three children so we are donating the proceeds from the song to her kids.”
“It’s such a powerful song and the themes are still so relevant, we wanted to release it in her memory,” he continues. “The original lyrics include the line ‘It’s the same old theme Since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head, they’re still fighting’. It’s a reference to the IRA bombings during the Irish Rebellion. We changed that lyric to say ‘2018’ and she was really excited about that because the nations may have changed but we’re still fighting the same battles today. Humanity is still fighting to assert itself despite all the conflicts.”

REIGEN

You know, this cover of The Cranberries’ song “Dreams” was sent to me before the death of Dolores O’Riordan. The cover is by NYC based falsetto-king Reigen.
Instead of a faithful cover, Reigen decided to make it his own with new wave, disco, and electronica.
Reigen explained, “My friends Thommy and Cedric asked me to do this song for their wedding and I never thought I’d be sharing it more widely, but they were so sweet about it and here we are... this is a celebration of the love that is all around us.”
Of course, after hearing about O’Riordan’s passing, Reigen wrote, “There will never be another one like Dolores- I am so shocked and saddened by this news. A voice and an artistry that will live forever.”
Hear his version of “Dreams” on soundcloud.com.
