After Dolores' devastating and unexpected passing in January 2018, we took some time out and put all plans on hold. As time passed, we began to think about how we might best honor our close friend and bandmate. This was a very painful process.

We felt that this is what she would want. We spoke with Dolores' family and they agreed.

There was also an overwhelming sense of finality knowing that this was the last time that we would be in the same studio together working on a Cranberries album.
