Singer Linda Nolan died “peacefully” and “with her loving siblings by her bedside, ensuring she was embraced with love and comfort during her final moments”, her manager said. The Irish star, 65, was part of the family group The Nolans, which also included her sisters Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne.
She died in hospital in Blackpool surrounded by family, having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, given the all-clear in 2011, but in 2017 was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. In 2020, it spread and by 2023 was in her brain. Her manager Dermot McNamara said it was “with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Nolan”.
He added in a statement: “Over the weekend, Linda was taken by ambulance to Blackpool Victoria Hospital and admitted with double pneumonia. “In the early hours of Tuesday morning, she went into a coma and into end-of-life care, surrounded by her devoted family.
“At around 10.20am on Wednesday, she passed peacefully, with her loving siblings by her bedside, ensuring she was embraced with love and comfort during her final moments, aged 65. “Linda’s legacy extends beyond her incredible achievements in music and entertainment. She was a beacon of hope and resilience, sharing her journey to raise awareness and inspire others.”.
