The boyfriend of Cranberries star Dolores O\u2019Riordan says his \u201cheart is broken and it is beyond repair\u201d. The Irish singer was found dead aged 46 at a hotel in central London on Monday morning.\nKoretsky, who played with O\u2019Riordan in alternative rock band D.A.R.K, released a statement on the group\u2019s official website. He wrote: \u201cMy friend, partner, and the love of my life is gone.
\n\u201cDolores is beautiful. Her art is beautiful. Her family is beautiful. The energy she continues to radiate is undeniable. \u201cI am lost. I miss her so much. I will continue to stumble around this planet for some time knowing well there\u2019s no real place for me here now.\u201d
\nThe couple\u2019s D.A.R.K. bandmate, Andy Rourke, added he was \u201cdevastated\u201d by her death. He said: \u201cI have truly enjoyed the years we spent together and feel privileged to call her a close friend.
\n\u201cIt was a bonus to work with her in our band D.A.R.K. and witness firsthand her breathtaking and unique talent. I will miss her terribly. I send my love and condolences to her family and loved ones.\u201d
\nD.A.R.K. formed in 2009 after Rourke and Koretsky met gigging in the US and soon invited O\u2019Riordan to join the project. They released debut album, Science Agrees, in 2016.
\nPolice have said her death is not being treated as suspicious and confirmed the case was being passed to a coroner. The singer had been in London to record a cover of Zombie with hard rock band Bad Wolves and, hours before her death, had sounded \u201cfull of life\u201d in a voicemail, according to her friend and music producer Dan Waite.
