Her condition worsened due to her secondary breast cancer, which had spread to her brain. Her sisters - Anne, 74, Denise, 72, Maureen, 69, and Coleen, 59 - were called to her bedside at 3.30am on Tuesday as doctors placed her in end-of-life care. They kept a vigil by her side in her final hours. Linda was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and had a mastectomy. She was given the all-clear in 2011. In 2017, she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which was contained within her hip and pelvis. In 2020, the cancer spread to her liver and three years later to her brain – with scans showing the tumours had shrunk in December 2023. Her sister Bernie died of breast cancer in 2013 aged 52. Over the course of her career, Linda and her siblings, The Nolans, sold an impressive 30 million records. They also toured with Frank Sinatra and performed for President Gerald Ford
