Dolores O'Riordan's partner Olé Koretsky and fellow D.A.R.K. bandmate Andy Rourke pay tribute

Dolores O’Riordan’s partner and D.A.R.K. bandmate Olé Koretsky has spoken of his heartbreak following her tragic death this week.
“My friend, partner, and the love of my life is gone,” he says. “My heart is broken and it is beyond repair. Dolores is beautiful. Her art is beautiful. Her family is beautiful. The energy she continues to radiate is undeniable. I am lost. I miss her so much. I will continue to stumble around this planet for some time knowing well there's no real place for me here now."
He goes on to reveal that, in addition to recording a version of ‘Zombie’ there with US metallers Bad Wolves, Dolores had been working on a new D.A.R.K. album in London with Martin ‘Youth’ Glover, which will be released later in the year.
Her other D.A.R.K. bandmate, former Smiths man Andy Rourke, has also taken to social media to pay tribute to Dolores.
“I am heartbroken by the unexpected passing of Dolores,” he reflects. “I’ve enjoyed the years spent together and privileged to call her a close friend. It was a bonus to work with her and witness her breathtaking & unique talent, I will miss her terribly. My condolences to her family/loved ones.
