Sadly, Linda Nolan, well-known for her family’s fame, lost her life after a long, 20-year struggle with breast cancer. Her cherished sisters were with her during her final moments.

It was announced by the singer’s representative, Dermot McNamara, that she had passed away on Wednesday morning, after a struggle against pneumonia.

With deep regret, we share the news of the death of Linda Nolan, a renowned Irish pop icon, TV personality, record-breaking West End actress, bestselling novelist for The Sunday Times, and frequent columnist for The Daily Mirror.

As part of the renowned girl group The Nolans, Linda experienced worldwide fame; she was the first Irish artist to sell more than a million records globally, toured the world, and has sold over 30 million records. Her hits include Gotta Pull Myself Together, Attention to Me, and the timeless disco anthem I’m In The Mood for Dancing.

Her unique voice and captivating stage persona spread happiness globally, cementing her status as a legendary figure in both British and Irish entertainment industry.

Above and beyond her remarkable professional accomplishments, Linda devoted her life to assisting others. Through her efforts, she managed to collect more than 20 million pounds for various charities such as Breast Cancer Now, Irish Cancer Society, and the Samaritans, alongside numerous other organizations.

Her unwavering generosity and relentless dedication towards improving the lives of many will always form an essential part of her lasting impact.

Over the weekend, Linda was rushed to Blackpool Victoria Hospital in an ambulance due to double pneumonia. On Tuesday morning, she slipped into a coma and began receiving end-of-life care, with her loving family by her side.

Approximately at 10:20 AM on Wednesday, the 15th of January, she bid farewell surrounded by her cherished brothers and sisters, who filled her last moments with warmth and care, until her 65 years on earth.

The impact of Linda transcends her remarkable successes in music and show business. She served as a guiding light, embodying hope and tenacity, using her story to educate and motivate others.

At present, we humbly request seclusion as Linda’s loved ones and friends mourn the passing of an exceptional individual. Information regarding a tribute to honor Linda’s outstanding life will be communicated later on.

‘Rest in peace, Linda. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share a personal journey that resonates deeply with me. Back in 2006, I was fortunate enough to receive the all-clear following my battle with breast cancer. However, life took an unexpected turn for me in 2017 when I was diagnosed with secondary cancer, a condition that proved incurable. This journey has taught me the importance of resilience, hope, and embracing each day as a gift.

In August, Linda provided a new report indicating that the brain tumors she had been considered stable previously had actually increased in size.

On Google My Business, Linda disclosed that she had been placed on a fresh round of chemotherapy due to the latest update, adding that she might have to deal with hair loss once more.

Additionally, she disclosed the impact the continuous therapy was having on her smile, indicating a space in her teeth and assertively stating: “See, I’ve lost a tooth!

Linda’s siblings, Colleen, Anne, and sadly Bernie, have had experiences with cancer. They were all diagnosed, and regrettably, Bernie passed away due to the illness in 2013.

Linda expressed that she’s not much different from others when she stated her feelings about the frequent occurrence of cancer in her family: “I simply wish it would pass, or give us some time apart for a while.

Richard Madeley expressed that it’s understandable for Linda to experience intense anger towards the circumstances, as her family has been afflicted by cancer. He then asked if she ever feels anger about how this disease has impacted her loved ones.

She shared that someone once asked Bernie if she had ever pondered, “Why me?”, to which Bernie responded, “No, I consider it more ‘Why not me’. It doesn’t discriminate.

‘You can’t put your name down and say you’re next in line. But we have had a rough time with it.’
