Singer Linda Nolan was âlaughing and jokingâ in her final days before she died aged 65, her sister Denise has said.
The Irish star, who rose to fame in family group The Nolans with sisters Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne, died on Wednesday surrounded by family after being admitted to hospital in Blackpool with double pneumonia.
Nolan had long been a campaigner and fundraiser for cancer awareness, having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.
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.

âSheâd been laughing and joking, although the medical team had told her she had to stay quiet to let her treatment do its job,â her sister Denise said in a statement first reported in the Sunday Mirror.
âEveryone was being quietly optimistic as sheâd seemed so cheerful.
âThen at 3.30am on Tuesday, we got the dreaded call: âGet to the hospital ASAP.'â
Nolanâs manager Dermot McNamara confirmed she was admitted to Blackpool Victoria Hospital last weekend with double pneumonia, before going into a coma and having end-of-life care on Tuesday, and dying on Wednesday âwith her loving siblings by her bedsideâ.
Denise recalled how Nolan was taken into the hospital after she was âstruggling to breatheâ but the singer was still the âmodel patientâ and was âapologising for any inconvenienceâ to her sister and the hospital staff.
After Nolan slipped into unconsciousness, Denise recalled that her sister still âwouldnât give upâ and friends and family sat holding her hand for 36 hours.

Denise recalled that she went home to give her husband Tom Anderson, who has Parkinsonâs disease, medication, but her sister died before she could return to the hospital in time, although their other sisters had been by her side.
âAt around 10.20am we got the worst news â our beautiful, brave, hard-working, talented sister was gone,â Denise said.
âWeâre numb. My husband Tom canât speak about her without crying. Weâll love and miss her for ever.â
Denise said she had experienced the grief before when their sister Bernie died of breast cancer in 2013 aged 52, but Lindaâs death had been particularly difficult for her as they lived together, and âeverywhere there are remindersâ of Nolan.
Nolan wrote a column for the Mirror about her experience of living with cancer and in an addition published on January 8 she said she was âso grateful to be getting well againâ after having a âbad case of fluâ around Christmas.
Her other sisters have expressed how they are âheartbrokenâ following her death earlier this week.
Maureen wrote on Instagram on Thursday: âSo much to say not sure where or if I can start, countless memories, countless laughs, and constant support when you really needed it, I am heartbroken as we all are, just so sad.â
Her sisters Coleen and Anne also reflected on Nolanâs positive personality and good humour as they paid tribute on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Blackpool tower was lit up in pink, which is the colour mainly associated with breast cancer awareness, in memory of Nolan.
Several of the Nolan family members have had cancer including Anne, whom Nolan joined on the TV series The Nolans Go Cruising.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2020 and is now cancer-free.
Coleen was diagnosed with skin cancer last year and said she was using a chemotherapy cream to remove it.
The Nolans, known for recording the songs Gotta Pull Myself Together, Attention To Me and Iâm In The Mood For Dancing, toured with Frank Sinatra and made their own BBC TV specials.
Nolan left in 1983, and she later re-joined to do several comeback performances with the group.
She also went on to tour with Gene Pitney and was celebrated for her West End shows, including Blood Brothers, Pump Boys And Dinettes and Prisoner Cell Block âHâ.
Outside of her showbiz career which included stints on Celebrity Big Brother along with musical theatre performances, she helped to raise more than £20 million for numerous charities, including Breast Cancer Now, the Irish Cancer Society and Samaritans.

On January 18, the popular variety show aired a sneak peek of its upcoming Lunar New Year special, which will feature three celebrity family duos as guests. KISS OF LIFE’s Belle and STAYC’s Sieun will appear together with their respective fathers Shim Sin and Park Nam Jung, both of whom are legendary singers in Korea. Sisters BIBI and tripleS’s NaKyoung will also be guesting on the show together.
In the newly released preview, Sieun dances with Park Nam Jung to his iconic hit “Dreaming of You,” which is famous for its choreography. Meanwhile, Shim Sin sings KISS OF LIFE’s hit song “Sticky” together in a special duet with Belle.
After BIBI enviously says she wishes she were Park Nam Jung’s or Shim Sin’s daughter, she remarks that she and sister NaKyoung didn’t fight much while they were growing up. However, NaKyoung swiftly begs to differ, insisting they fought a lot. Later, the two siblings playfully sing Block B’s “Nillili Mambo” together.
The guests and “Knowing Bros” cast members then don hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to play a guessing game together. When Sieun argues with her dad over a story about an amusement park trip, Lee Sang Min—who doesn’t have children of his own—woefully shares, “I want to argue with my daughter too.”
Finally, the preview ends with a brief glimpse of Sieun and Park Nam Jung performing “A Whole New World” from the “Aladdin” soundtrack together.
