Судя по этой статье в ирландском издании "Герольд", Долорес решила окончательно перебраться жить в Канаду, что бы оградить детей от влияния шоу-бизнеса.

DOLORES QUITS IRELAND SO CHILDREN WON'T PRESSURES OF SHOWBIZ

Cranberries star Dolores O'Riordan has decided to quit Ireland for good.

The Limerick singer has revealed that she will shortly be leaving her plush Howth home and making a permanent move over to Canada.

And the feisty mum-of-four said her decision was prompted by wanting to protect her children from the pressures of growing up in a showbiz family in Ireland.

"It's because my 12-year-old wants to go to high school over there and he has just got a place in a lovely school in the countryside and they're all into kayaking and nature. I think it's just nice for him to be away from the pressures of society," she said.

The diminutive star hasn't forsaken her passion for music though and is gearing up to release her first solo album in August, called The Journey.

The singer, who is married to Don Burton, also said that looking back over her lengthy career, performing Ave Maria in a duet with the late Italian legend Pavarotti was one of her highlights.

"That was an amazing moment. We flew to Italy and we did the duet and it was just fabulous and such a great experience, it was such a surreal moment," she explained.

"I really enjoyed it. I love that hymn and he was holding my hand as he's so used to singing with orchestras and in those kind of quieter situations," she explained. "I'm more used to the body surfing and the rocking, but that was more of a quieter audience so there was more of a feeling of vulnerability and exposure. But he was so nice, he was holding my hand and was really sweet."

Emotional

She continued: "In the front row was Lady Di Spencer and I remember as I was singing, I looked down and saw her and she had her arms crossed and she looked really emotional, like she was in the moment.

"I was having a chat with her afterwards and she told me her mum used to love that song. And to think that both Pavarotti and Di are no longer with us, it was an amazing opportunity"

She was also at pains to point out to 2FM's Will Leahy that the band's decision to go their separate ways in 2003 was nothing to do with any bitter bust-ups.

Having sold more than 40 albums worldwide, they finally decided to split up to pursue their independent projects.

"It was one of those things where we had been on a phenomenal journey as a group of four people, but it had got to the stage where it was getting stale for all of us and we needed to go off and experiment and do other things with our lives," she added.

Чтож, Дол уже неоднократно говорила, что ей нравится Канада тем, что её там воспринимают как обычного человека, без ореола славы, звёздности и т.п.

ЗЫ. Интересно они продадут дом в Хоуте?
