Always putting family first above all else, Linda Nolan spent her final Christmas surrounded by loved ones. Having risen to fame in The Nolans alongside sisters Anne, Denise, Maureen, Bernie and Coleen, Linda, who has today (Wednesday, January 15), passed away at the age of 65, remained extremely close to her siblings who rallied around her in her final months.
And in her typically upbeat fashion, Dublin-born Linda expressed gratitude for every precious moment she spent with loved ones over the festive period - even during times when she was too sick to eat or cuddle her newborn great-nephews. In a statement released to the Mirror, agent Dermot McNamara said: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Nolan, the celebrated Irish pop legend, television personality, Guinness World Record-holding West End star, Sunday Times bestselling author and Daily Mirror columnist.".
The statement continued: "She passed peacefully, with her loving siblings by her bedside, ensuring she was embraced with love and comfort during her final moments. 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. Rest in peace, Linda. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.".
Here, the Mirror takes a look at Linda's last Christmas where a worrying symptom left her fearing the worst... Linda made sure to watch sister Maureen in a pantomime production of Snow White at St Helens, in Merseyside, as the festive season got into full swing. She remarked that Maureen, 70, was "possibly the most beautiful wicked queen in the history of wicked queens" and also reflected on her own time treading the boards.
