Anne Nolan talks heartbreak, sibling betrayal and life's ups and downs with OK! ❤️
We’ve just finished the first exclusive shoot and sit-down chat with Anne Nolan ahead of her latest book launch, and she’s left us feeling uplifted and inspired. Despite going through some dark times during her 72 years, she remains positive and has a strength about her that’s rare.
Detailing the family rift, she descibes in the book how it tore her family apart and says her “stomach dropped” when she was excluded from a family tour – named I’m In The Mood Again in reference to the hit I’m In The Mood For Dancing. This was one of the band’s biggest hits and the record that Anne actively sang, performed and promoted.
Her sisters have also been warned what’s to come. “I told them there was going to be a bit about the fall-out in it and they said that’s fine. If they don’t want to read it, they won’t read it.” There have been events in Anne’s life that have changed her forever, and losing her sister Bernie was one of them. Reflecting in her book on the death of her sister in 2013 to breast cancer, she says, “There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t think about Bernie, yet life still goes on.”
She says she has now “come full circle” and “counts her blessings”, and she tells us it was an “out-of-body experience” to know she had it again. “It’s as if you’re looking down on somebody else and they’re talking to someone else because your mind thinks, ‘I don’t want to hear this.’” “Linda was great because I was having really aggressive chemo so I’d be there from 9am and she’d arrive at lunchtime and we’d finish together at 5pm. It wasn’t as bad as it might have been for those who were alone – it must have been horrible.
