Coleen Nolan, the beloved sister of Linda Nolan, has shared a heartfelt tribute on what would have been Linda's 66th birthday. Linda, a talented Irish singer, passed away earlier this year after battling secondary breast cancer that had spread to her brain. She rose to fame as a member of the pop group the Nolans, alongside her sisters, at the young age of 15.
Linda was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and was declared cancer-free in 2011 after six years of treatment. However, in 2017, she was diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer when tumors were found in her hip bone and pelvis. Despite receiving palliative care, Linda passed away at the age of 65, after contracting double pneumonia during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Coleen, who is also a host on Loose Women, took to Instagram to share a video of her and Linda dancing at a party. She expressed how much she misses her sister and how life will never be the same without her. In the video, the sisters can be seen having a great time, with Linda even taking off her wig and making everyone laugh.
The comments section of Coleen's post was filled with heartbroken fans who remembered Linda on her special day. They praised the video as a beautiful memory and a touching tribute to her sister. Coleen previously released a statement following Linda's passing, where she described her as a beacon of love, kindness, and strength. She also mentioned how Linda's presence could light up any room and how her memory will live on in the lives of those she touched.
Linda was laid to rest on February 1, in a pink glittery coffin, in a moving ceremony that celebrated her remarkable life. Her sisters, along with friends and family, bid her farewell at St. Paul's Church in Blackpool, Lancashire. Linda's love for premieres and big occasions was mentioned in the eulogy by her sister Denise, who also revealed that Linda would have loved all the attention and fuss on her special day.
The Nolans, formed by parents Maureen and Tommy Nolan, rose to fame in the 1970s, with the band consisting of the parents and seven of their eight children. They became popular for their chart-topping hits, such as "I'm In The Mood For Dancing" and "Gotta Pull Myself Together", and had a massive following, especially in Japan. The band even toured with Frank Sinatra during their peak, with Linda fondly recalling how he referred to them as his daughters.
Unfortunately, the Nolans have experienced a cruel fate with cancer, as Bernie, Anne, and Linda were all diagnosed with breast cancer. Bernie passed away in 2013 at the age of 52, while Anne was diagnosed for the second time in 2020 but is now cancer-free. Coleen also revealed her own battle with skin cancer in 2023 and is currently undergoing treatment.
