The Cranberries frontwoman was in London to discuss plans for the band's upcoming studio album when she died, her publicist has confirmed.
In a statement, her publicist said: "Whilst the primary purpose of Dolores's trip to London last Sunday evening was for a studio mixing session on Monday and Tuesday with Martin 'Youth' Glover on a recently recorded D.A.R.K. album, it has emerged that while in London she was also due to meet with The Cranberries record label, BMG to discuss plans for the release of a new Cranberries studio album that she had been working on with the band in recent months."
