In 2014, O'Riordan divorced her husband of 20 years, Don Burton,
former tour manager of Duran Duran, whom she have three children with.
In the same year, the lead singer was arrested over an
alleged ‘air rage’ incident, after allegedly attacking a flight stewardess on
flight.
Two years after, she was ordered to pay 6,000 euros (£5,300)
to charity as fine for headbutting a police officer.

explains the plane incident.

as a child, which resulted to eating disorder and emotional breakdown.
