The reissue of The Cranberries’ bestselling album, No Need to Argue, presented an opportunity to catch up with the group’s drummer, Fergal Lawler, and their producer, Stephen Street; both reflected on the band’s legacy and the tragic loss of lead vocalist Dolores O’Riordan, who died in 2018 at age 46. Shortly before O’Riordan’s death, Goldmine editor Patrick Prince interviewed the singer-songwriter for the magazine’s podcast. Poignant excerpts from that conversation are woven into this feature as well.
