Local fans recall Dolores O’Riordan’s love of the Kawarthas

At top, Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of the Cranberries had divided her time between Ireland and the community of Buckhorn in Kawartha Lakes north of Peterborough. It is reported Tuesday that O’Riordan has died at age 46 in London. South Bayview fans who knew her from the Kawarthas and distant concerts in Toronto, were saddened by the news. The singer spent part of the last decade living in a waterfront home on Big Bald Lake near Buckhorn with her then husband, Duran Duran tour manager Don Burton. Publicist Lindsey Holmes said O’Riordan died suddenly while in the UK capital where she was recording. No cause of death was released.
