British singer and television personality Linda Nolan has sadly passed away at the age of 65 following a lengthy battle with cancer.
Her representative, Dermot McNamara, announced that Linda Nolan died on Tuesday, January 14, surrounded by her sisters during her final moments, which were impacted by pneumonia.
The announcement shared by Dermot McNamara stated, “With great sorrow, we confirm the death of Linda Nolan, renowned as an Irish pop icon, beloved TV figure, record-setting West End performer, best-selling author, and columnist for the Daily Mirror.” The statement noted she passed away around 10:20 am, adding that the hospital tried their best to alleviate her suffering but ultimately concluded they could do no more. “She died peacefully with her dear siblings by her side, ensuring she felt surrounded by love and comfort as she departed. Linda’s impact transcends her remarkable career in music and television. She was a symbol of hope and strength, inspiring many through her personal journey. We will deeply miss her, but her memory will endure.”
Linda Nolan’s Journey with Cancer
According to the The Mirror, Linda Nolan was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2005, leading to a discharge in 2011. However, in 2017, she learned that the illness had returned and had spread to her brain.
The diagnosis came after she had tumors detected in the bones of her hip and pelvis.
While on vacation, Linda Nolan experienced health issues but expressed feeling better last week before being hospitalized due to breathing difficulties. Unfortunately, pneumonia, exacerbated by her ongoing battle with cancer, led to her passing at the age of 65.
Her family is reportedly planning to hold a public memorial but has not provided additional information as of yet.
