Singer and TV personality Linda Nolan has passed away at the age of 65, “with her loving siblings by her bedside,” her manager has confirmed.

A member of the successful pop group the Nolans, Linda died in a Blackpool hospital, surrounded by her family.

She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and was given the all-clear in 2011. However, the disease returned in 2017 as secondary breast cancer. By 2020, it had spread further, and in 2023, it was confirmed to have reached her brain.
