小红莓乐队主唱桃乐丝去世 你一定听过她的歌
The Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan has died suddenly at the age of 46, her publicist has confirmed. The Irish musician, originally from Limerick, led the band to international success in the 90s with singles including Linger and Zombie. A statement from her publicist said: "The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries was in London for a short recording session. No further details are available at this time." A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said the police were called to a hotel in Park Lane at 09:05 GMT on Monday, where "a woman in her mid-40s" was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is, at this stage, unexplained. 小红莓乐队的其他几位同伴:吉他手及贝斯手诺尔和迈克•霍根兄弟和鼓手弗加尔•劳勒都在社交媒体上对她的去世表示了哀悼。 The message said: "She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to been part of her life from 1989." Her publicist added: "Family members are devastated to hear the news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time." 主唱桃乐丝1971年9月6日出生在爱尔兰,是90年代最具代表性的女主唱,三岁起就开始唱歌,因此练就了一副天使般的嗓音,尤其是她独特的咽音发声,更启发了许多女歌手。这些年来小红莓专辑全球销量超过4000万张,在世界各地拥有亿万歌迷。 The Cranberries shot to international fame with their 1993 debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? and went on to sell over 40 million records worldwide. In 2017 The Cranberries announced a tour including dates in Europe, the UK, and the US. However, in May - shortly into the European tour - the group had to cancel the remainder of the European dates as a result of O'Riordan's health issues. The official Cranberries website cited "medical reasons associated with a back problem" preventing singer Dolores O'Riordan from performing. But just before Christmas O'Riordan had posted on Facebook saying she was "feeling good" and had done her "first bit of gigging in months", leading fans to believe she would soon be performing again. O'Riordan tweeted a picture of herself with her cat to fans in early January saying she was "off to Ireland". O'Riordan split from her husband of 20 years, Don Burton in 2014. She and Burton, who is the former tour manager of Duran Duran, have three children together. 小红莓乐队又译为卡百利乐队,建立于1989年,与U2、恩雅并称“爱尔兰国宝级艺人”,被视为爱尔兰历史上最伟大的另类摇滚乐队之一。桃乐丝和小红莓乐队的作品对于爱尔兰乃至世界音乐有深远影响,爱尔兰总统也发表声明悼念,称是“巨大的悲痛”。 Irish president Michael D Higgins called her death "a big loss", and added O'Riordan's work with The Cranberries "had an immense influence on rock and pop music in Ireland and internationally". 一大批中国听众也是听着小红莓的歌成长起来,《Never Grow Old》《Dying in the Sun》《Ode to my Family》都非常熟悉。桃乐丝也影响了不少中国音乐人,王菲的《梦中人》就翻唱自小红莓的经典名曲《Dreams》,在王家卫的电影《重庆森林》中作为插曲出现。 中国音乐人高晓松也曾在2017年9月于利默里克探望了养伤中的奥·瑞沃丹与小红莓吉他手诺尔·霍根,并将他们的合照发到了微博上。奥·瑞沃丹告诉高晓松,她希望11月来中国巡演,并表示很喜欢中国。 |
