RTE Late Late Show tribute to Dolores O'Riordan leaves viewers with 'goosebumps'

The Late Late Show paid a poignant tribute to Dolores O'Riordan as part of their series premiere on Friday night.

It was almost four years ago that the lead singer of The Cranberries was found dead in her hotel room.

Emma Langford, Kellie Lewis, the Irish Chamber Orchestra and a huge choir performed a special medley of the hits of the band, with Linger, Dreams and the iconic Zombie all playing a part.

What followed was an incredibly emotional interview with Dolores's mum Eileen and Fergal Lawler of the band, where they relived their memories of the singer.

And the entire segment had people in tears on social media, with plenty talking about how they got "goosebumps" from the moment.

One said: "The Dolores O’Riordan tribute is just a superb & appropriate showcase of Irish talent, haunting, magical"

A second said: "Magnificent tribute to #DoloresORiordan Well done @RTELateLateShow"

While a third said: "An amazing tribute to the fabulous Dolores O’Riordan. Goosebumps."

The overall consensus was that the organisers had absolutely nailed the tribute.

"That Dolores O'Riordan tribute was pretty much sensational, well done lads" gushed another Twitter user.

Another person summed it up rather well by saying: "Wow just Star-struck Who arranged that tribute to Dolores O Riordan? Outstanding. Huge props to all involved."
