Shortly before her death, Jan. 15, the Cranberries lead singer reportedly discussed making a new album and touring in a phone conversation with guitarist Noel Hogan. “We spoke about getting back to work,” the musician told Rolling Stone.
On Jan. 14, she apparently emailed him new songs that could potentially have featured on the record.
