On January 15, 2024, the sad news of Linda Nolan’s passing was shared with the public, breaking during an emotional segment of the ITV talk show *Loose Women*.
Linda, who had fought a courageous 20-year battle with breast cancer, passed away at the age of 65 after being hospitalized with double pneumonia.
Her passing was announced by her agent Dermot McNamara,
who confirmed she passed away peacefully in the early morning hours, surrounded by her loving family.

Linda’s death came as a shock to viewers and her *Loose Women* co-stars, especially Coleen Nolan,
who was close to her sister and had often appeared on the show together.
The announcement took place on-air, with host Christine Lampard sharing the tragic news with viewers while reading a statement from Linda’s family.
Christine, visibly emotional, offered her condolences and spoke lovingly of Linda’s legacy, acknowledging the profound impact she had on both the entertainment world and those who knew her personally.
“She passed peacefully with her loving siblings by her bedside, ensuring she was embraced with love and comfort during her final moments,” Christine said.
The tribute also highlighted Linda’s strength and resilience throughout her battle with cancer. “Linda’s legacy extends beyond her incredible achievements in music and entertainment,” the statement read. “She was a beacon of hope and resilience, sharing her journey to raise awareness and inspire others.”
Linda was best known for being a member of *The Nolans*, the iconic Irish girl group that achieved tremendous success in the 1970s and 1980s.
The band’s hits, including *I’m in the Mood for Dancing*, earned them international fame, and Linda’s distinctive voice became synonymous with their sound.
Her music career saw her perform for millions of fans around the world, and *The Nolans* went on to sell over 30 million records, securing their place in pop history.
Her compassion and dedication to helping others were key elements of her character, and these contributions will undoubtedly remain a significant part of her legacy.
Linda’s family and friends were by her side during her final days. As her sister Coleen Nolan, a *Loose Women* panellist, reflected on Linda’s passing, she shared a heartfelt tribute.
In an emotional Instagram post, Coleen expressed her devastation, writing, “I am utterly devastated by the passing of my sister, Linda.”
Her words highlighted Linda’s vibrant spirit and the joy she brought to those around her. “Her memory will live on in the many lives she touched,” Coleen added.
The *Loose Women* panel, including Nadia Sawalha, Myleene Klass, and Kelly Brook, took a moment to reflect on their memories of Linda during the show. Nadia spoke candidly about how difficult it was to prepare for the inevitable.
“There is a moment when the light goes out, and that is the most awful shock,” she said, echoing the grief that many felt. Despite the sorrow, the panelists spoke with fondness about Linda’s kind and generous nature.
Linda’s battle with breast cancer began in 2017 when she was diagnosed with secondary cancer. Throughout her struggle, Linda remained a public figure, sharing her journey and raising awareness about the disease.
Even in the face of illness, she continued to inspire others with her courage and unbreakable spirit. As a mother, sister, and friend, she was a beloved figure whose warmth and humor shone brightly.
Following Linda’s passing, both Coleen and their sister Anne shared their sorrow on social media, re-sharing the statement announcing her death with heartfelt tributes. Coleen posted a broken-hearted emoji, and Anne shared three heart emojis, symbolizing their deep love and loss.
The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time, as they grieve the loss of a truly remarkable woman. Linda’s influence will live on, not only through her music but through the love and generosity she gave to so many.
A celebration of her life will be held in the future, but for now, her family and friends remember a sister, daughter, and friend who touched countless lives with her extraordinary spirit. Rest in peace, Linda Nolan.
