The Cranberries have just announced they will be releasing a reissue of their Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can’t We for its 25th anniversary as well as a brand new album. The band, as Rolling Stone reported, had already started working on the reissue before singer Dolores O’Riordan death in January, which caused the project to be put on hold.
The surviving members of the group, however, have revealed they will get back to the project and complete their new album, on which O’Riordan recorded her vocals before her sudden death. The band said their hope is to release the new record in the beginning of 2019.
The commemorative reissue of Everybody Else Is Doing it So Why Can’t We, however, will include previously unreleased material as well as remastered tracks and is set to be released later this year.
O’Riordan’s death is still ensconced in mystery. The singer was in London on January 15th to record vocals for another band’s cover of The Cranberries’ hit Zombie, when the news of her death was announced.
According to Rolling Stone, no official cause of death was immediately announced and no updates will arrive until next April, said London Police, who declared her death unexpected yet not suspicious.
The new record the band will be releasing next year will be, as billboard reported, the first one in six years. Meanwhile, O’Riordan had been busy lending her vocals to another band named D.A.R.K., founded by Smiths bassist Andy Rourke. The group, released their first record Science Agrees in 2016.
