Linda Nolan died âembraced with love and comfortâ with her siblings at her side
The Irish star was part of the family group The Nolans, alongside her siblings Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne.
Singer Linda Nolan died âpeacefullyâ and âwith her loving siblings by her bedside, ensuring she was embraced with love and comfort during her final momentsâ, 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 âwith profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Nolanâ.
He added in a statement: âOver the weekend, Linda was taken by ambulance to Blackpool Victoria Hospital and admitted with double pneumonia.
âIn the early hours of Tuesday morning, she went into a coma and into end-of-life care, surrounded by her devoted family.
âAt 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.

âLindaâs 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.â
Nolan revealed she had started the cancer life-extending drug, called Enhertu, in August 2024, which she called âamazingâ, and pushed for other people to have this âopportunityâ to take the medication.
Her sister Anne, whom she joined on the TV series The Nolans Go Cruising, was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2020 and is now cancer-free.
Another sister, Loose Women star Coleen, revealed she was diagnosed with skin cancer last year and was using a chemotherapy cream to remove it.

Their sister Bernie died of breast cancer in 2013 aged 52.
Linda was born the sixth of eight children to Tommy and Maureen Nolan on February 23 1959 in Dublin. Her parents â both singers â were keen to turn their young family into a musical troupe and Linda made her stage debut at the age of four.
They then toured with actor and singer Frank Sinatra and made their own BBC TV Specials.
She left the group â known for the songs as Gotta Pull Myself Together, Attention to Me and Iâm In The Mood for Dancing â which made her famous in 1983, but later reformed with her sisters for several comeback performances.
In her solo career, she has toured with Gene Pitney and was celebrated for her West End shows.
Nolan, who competed on Celebrity Big Brother and was also a Daily Mirror columnist, had musical theatre appearances in shows such as Blood Brothers, Pump Boys And Dinettes and Prisoner Cell Block âHâ.
Singer Shane Nolan said he was âvery gratefulâ he could spend a few hours with his aunt before her death.
He wrote on X: âMy beautiful Aunty Linda. Got to spend a few hours with her yesterday which Iâm very grateful for.â
Her sister, Loose Women star Coleen, shared a broken heart emoji on X, while Anne shared three hearts, alongside an official announcement of Lindaâs death.
A message on the official Loose Women Instagram page said: âWe are saddened by the news Linda Nolan, Coleenâs sister, who was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2017, has died at the age of 65.â
It added: âWe are sending all our love to Coleen and Lindaâs familyâ.
Comedian and singer Tommy Cannon wrote on Instagram: âIâm heartbroken to hear about the passing of Linda Nolan.
âI had the pleasure of working with her on so many occasions, and she was always a joy â full of warmth and love. My thoughts and love are with the Nolan girls and the whole family.â
Comedian Paul Elliott, known for the double act The Chuckle Brothers, said he would âcherishâ his more than four decades of memories with Nolan, and called the news âdevastatingâ on Instagram.
He also said on X that his âheart breaksâ that she had died aged 65 but took comfort in the thought she was ânow with the love of her life Brianâ Hudson, her husband of 26 years who died in 2007 after being diagnosed with skin cancer, and developing liver failure.
Outside of her TV and musical career, Nolan helped to raise more than £20 million for numerous charities, including Breast Cancer Now, Irish Cancer Society, Samaritans and others.
Chief executive of charity Breast Cancer Now Claire Rowney said âin her many years as our ambassador, Linda has been a fierce and unwavering supporter of our work, both through fundraising and as a staunch advocate for raising awareness of and championing the needs of people living with secondary breast cancerâ.
She added: âIn the last few months of her life, Linda rallied alongside us as we petitioned for life-extending drug Enhertu to be made available on the NHS for patients with HER2-low secondary breast cancer. We are eternally grateful to Linda for using her voice to campaign with us.â
