Linda Nolan has died surrounded by her famous sisters after a 20-year battle with breast cancer. The 65-year-old TV icon passed away this morning
Beloved Irish pop icon and TV star Linda Nolan has passed away at 65 after a brave battle with secondary breast cancer. The Dublin born Daily Mirror columnist died today, her famous sisters by her side, just days following her last moving column for the paper.
The family have requested that the hospital's name be withheld, but they've promised to arrange a public memorial for the dearly loved celebrity. Linda's passing will undoubtedly stun her devoted followers who have been tracking her candid and forthright account of her cancer battle in her weekly Mirror column.
The statement read: "As a member of The Nolans, one of the most successful girl groups of all time, Linda achieved global success, touring the world and selling over 30 million records, with hits such as Gotta Pull Myself Together, Attention to Me and the iconic disco classic I'm In The Mood for Dancing. Her distinctive voice and magnetic stage presence brought joy to fans around the world, securing her place as an icon of British and Irish entertainment.
Linda Nolan, in the limelight and fighting her own battle with cancer, chose to use her status and wit to support others facing similar trials, including her sister Anne, who faced stage three breast cancer in 2020 - an alarm she got mere days after Linda learnt her own cancer had spread to her liver. Side by side, the siblings braved chemotherapy; Anne's illness went into remission while Linda learned her affliction could only be managed, not healed.
In a poignant reflection, she declared, "I'm no fan of resolutions but here's one: It'll take more than flu to finish me off." Linda's Christmas wish was straightforward: to "keep breathing and see another one". Yet, she refused to indulge in self-pity. However, after a reassuring dream featuring her sister Bernie, who passed away in 2013 from breast cancer at the age of 52, Linda's apprehension seemed to fade away.
The Nolan sisters, a renowned family in the entertainment industry, have openly shared their struggles with cancer. Four of the six sisters have faced cancer diagnoses or scares, leading to a rollercoaster of emotions within the family.
