The Irish star died on Wednesday morning surrounded by family after being admitted to hospital.
Singer Linda Nolan was “laughing and joking” in her final days before she died aged 65, her sister Denise has said.
The Dublin-born singer was given the all-clear in 2011, but in 2017 was told she had secondary breast cancer which later spread to her brain. Denise recalled how Nolan was taken into the hospital after she was “struggling to breathe” but the singer was still the “model patient” and was “apologising for any inconvenience” to her sister and the hospital staff.
“At around 10.20am we got the worst news – our beautiful, brave, hard-working, talented sister was gone,” Denise said.Denise said she had experienced the grief before when their sister Bernie died of breast cancer in 2013 aged 52, but Linda’s death had been particularly difficult for her as they lived together, and “everywhere there are reminders” of Nolan.
On Wednesday, Blackpool tower was lit up in pink, which is the colour mainly associated with breast cancer awareness, in memory of Nolan.
