The Cranberries have released the lead single from their last ever album and revealed when the full record will be unveiled - on the one year anniversary of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's death.
The frontwoman - who died on January 15 2018, aged 46 - had recorded her vocals for 11 demo tracks intended to feature on the eighth studio album, during the winter of 2017.
Following the singer's untimely death last year, the band eventually announced the album would still go ahead, using the demos as a foundation, and that it would be the Irish group's last ever record.
In loving memory: The Cranberries have released the lead single from their last ever album and revealed when the full record will be unveiled - on the one year anniversary of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's death
The first single was released on Tuesday and called All Over Now, while the album - titled In The End - will drop on April 26.
Eileen O'Riordan, Dolores' mother, said of the release: 'I can't think of a more fitting way to commemorate the first anniversary of Dolores' passing and to celebrate her life than to announce to the world the release of her final album with the band.'
The Cranberries - who are responsible for hits such as Linger, Dreams, Zombie, Animal Instinct and Just My Imagination - formed in Limerick in 1989 as The Cranberry Saw Us. Dolores is survived in the band by Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan and Fergal Lawler.
Seven albums - and 40 million sold - later, the band have insisted that In The End 'is not a valediction, it is a celebration of the life and creative work of Dolores'.

30 year legacy: Dolores is survived in the band by Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan and Fergal Lawler
Frontwoman: Dolores died on January 15 2018, aged 46; she had recorded her vocals for 11 demo tracks intended to feature on the eighth studio album, during the winter of 2017
The songstress co-wrote the tracks in 2017, during the band's then-tour, and Noel recalled: 'Dolores was so energized by the prospect of making this record and to getting back out on the road to play the songs live.'
He went on to explain the existing members had doubts about releasing the record, and considered shelving it entirely.
'We knew this had to be one of the, if not the, best Cranberries album that we could possibly do,' he said. 'The worry was that we would destroy the legacy of the band by making an album that wasn't up to standard.
'Once we had gone through all the demos that Dolores and I had worked on and decided that we had such a strong album we knew it would be the right thing and the best way that we could honour Dolores.'
Tragic: Eileen O'Riordan, Dolores' mother, said of the release, 'I can't think of a more fitting way to commemorate the first anniversary of Dolores' passing and to celebrate her life than to announce to the world the release of her final album with the band'
Debut: With the songs at various stages of completion when Dolores died, The Cranberries turned to Stephen Street - who had produced four of their previous albums including Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?
Repertoire: They released No Need To Argue in 1994 and To The Faithful Departed in 1996
Follow ups: Bury the Hatchet (1999) and Wake Up And Smell The Coffee (2001) followed
Later years: Roses (2012) and Something Else (2017) were the final albums released while Dolores was alive
With the songs at various stages of completion when Dolores died, The Cranberries turned to Stephen Street - who had produced four of their previous albums including Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? and No Need To Argue - and spent four weeks in a London studio building the sounds around her vocals from the original demos.
'It was a bitter sweet time,' Noel said. 'The joy of recording new tracks is always exciting and one of the best parts of being in a band.
'At the end of every day when we'd laid down our parts there was a sense of sadness, knowing that Dolores wouldn't be in that evening to work on that day's track.'
Loss: The mother-of-three from Kilmallock, County Limerick, who had battled alcoholism, had drunk spirits and champagne and was four times over the legal drinking limit when she died
Living on: 'At the end of every day when we'd laid down our parts there was a sense of sadness, knowing that Dolores wouldn't be in that evening to work on that day's track,' the band have said
Dolores' mother added: 'I miss her awfully, specially today, as does the entire family. She was very excited about this new album and was really looking forward to its release.
'I have no doubt that she is happy now and would be delighted with today's announcement.'
Dolores died by drowning due to alcohol intoxication, an inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court heard in September. The singer had been staying at London's Park Lane Hilton hotel while on a recording trip with the band.
The mother-of-three from Kilmallock, County Limerick, who had battled alcoholism, had drunk spirits and champagne and was four times over the legal drinking limit when she died.
She was discovered 'face up in the bath dressed in her pyjamas'. Police found the minibar was activated around 2AM, and she phoned her mother at around 3AM. She was later found unresponsive and confirmed dead at 9.16AM.
How Dolores O'Riordan turned into a global star after answering an ad
Dolores O'Riordan was born on September 6, 1971 in Ballybricken, Ireland.
In 1990, she answered an ad from a local band in nearby Limerick city - then called The Cranberry Saw Us - that was looking for a lead singer.
A name change and a confluence of factors turned The Cranberries into international stars. Their guitar-based sound had an alternative-rock edge at a time when grunge was storming the music scene.
Dolores O'Riordan (pictured at Dublin Castle in 2000) was a charismatic lead singer
The band's songs - on which O'Riordan was chief lyricist and co-songwriter - had a Celtic-infused tunefulness.
And in O'Riordan the group had a charismatic lead singer with a distinctively powerful voice.
Heavy play on MTV for their debut single 'Dream' and the singles that followed helped bring the group to the attention of a mass audience.
The Cranberries' 1993 debut album, 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?', sold millions of copies and produced the hit single 'Linger.'
The follow-up, 'No Need to Argue,' sold in even greater numbers and contained 'Zombie,' a visceral howl against Northern Ireland's violent Troubles that topped singles charts in several countries.
O'Riordan (pictured in Tirana in 2007) was one of Ireland's richest women
The band released three more studio albums before splitting up in 2003.
O'Riordan released a solo album, 'Are You Listening,' in 2007, and another, 'No Baggage,' in 2009.
The Cranberries also reunited that year, resulting in the album 'Roses' in 2012.
For a time, O'Riordan was one of Ireland's richest women, but she struggled with both physical and mental health problems.
The Cranberries released the acoustic album 'Something Else' in 2017 and had been due to tour Europe and North America. The tour was cut short because O'Riordan was suffering from back problems.
In 2014, O'Riordan was accused of assaulting three police officers and a flight attendant during a flight from New York to Ireland. She pleaded guilty and was fined €6,000 (£5,400)
O'Riordan (pictured in Paris in May 2017) struggled with both physical and mental health problems
Medical records given to the court indicated she was mentally ill at the time of the altercation. After her court hearing O'Riordan urged other people suffering mental illness to seek help.
She told Metro newspaper last year that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and she spoke to the Irish News about her battles with depression.
O'Riordan said depression 'is one of the worst things to go through,' but that 'I've also had a lot of joy in my life, especially with my children.'
'You get ups as well as downs. Sure, isn't that what life's all about?' she said.
O'Riordan is survived by her ex-husband, the former Duran Duran tour manager Don Burton, and their three children.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
