Tributes have flooded in for O’Riordan from all corners of the world, and musicians like Hozier and Kodaline have been sharing stories of the influence she had on their work.
In light of all this, Late Late Show viewers appeared to be expecting a substantial tribute to O’Riordan on this week’s show – and they were not pleased at the ’60 seconds’ of air time given to remembering the singer.
