Linda Nolan's cause of death has been confirmed by her sister Maureen, just days after the TV personality's death earlier this week following a secondary breast cancer diagnosis
Maureen Nolan has revealed that her sister Linda Nolan 's death was not directly caused by cancer, but rather by double pneumonia, which she contracted over the Christmas and New Year period. Linda, who was 65 and had been battling secondary breast cancer that had spread to her brain, was taken to hospital on Saturday with breathing problems and sadly her condition deteriorated and she passed away on 15 January.
In an emotional tribute shared with the Mirror, Linda Nolan's agent Dermot McNamara said: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Nolan, the celebrated Irish pop legend, television personality, Guinness World Record holding West End star, Sunday Times bestselling author and Daily Mirror columnist. She passed at around 10:20am at Blackpool Victoria Hospital on the MCEW Ward. The family said the hospital couldn't do enough, they were tireless.
By 2020, the disease had progressed even further, sadly reaching her brain in 2023. Linda's youngest sister, Loose Women's Coleen Nolan was heartbroken as she remembered her sister Linda, saying: "I am utterly devastated by the passing of my sister, Linda. Linda was a beacon of love, kindness, and strength. Her wit, humour and laughter was infectious, her presence could light up any room.
Linda penned her final column for the Mirror last Thursday, sharing her health struggles over Christmas, initially thinking it was just the flu. She confided in her readers: "The doctors say it's been a bad case of flu. I'd walk a few steps and struggle to catch my breath. My legs were even more wobbly than usual and, although I try not to, I thought of how Bernie was at the end. You think, 'Oh my God, is this it? '".
