Subject: Singer Linda Nolan dies aged 65

Written By: Philip Eno on 01/16/25 at 6:27 am

Singer Linda Nolan, a member of pop group the Nolans, has died at the age of 65, two decades after she was first diagnosed with cancer.

Nolan found fame in the 1970s alongside sisters Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne, and they scored hits including the 1980 disco classic I'm In The Mood for Dancing.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and given the all clear in 2011, but in 2017 was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. It spread and by 2023 was in her brain.

TV presenter Coleen Nolan said she was "utterly devastated" by her sister's death, describing Linda as a "beacon of love, kindness and strength".

This is sad :(

I don't know much about The Nolans as they were not popular in North America, but their music has always intrigued me as I love learning about British bands and singers that never made it this side of the pond.  Coleen's son Jake Roche was the lead singer in a band called Rixton, who had a Top 40 hit here in 2014 called Me and My Broken Heart
