Linda died of breast cancer in January, surrounded by her siblings.
Coleen Nolan’s brother Brian has confirmed he’s been diagnosed with cancer, months after their sister Linda’s death.
The Dublin-born singer and member of The Nolan Sisters died on January 15 at the age of 65 in Blackpool, surrounded by her siblings including sisters; Anne, 74, Denise, 72, Maureen, 69, and Coleen, 59.
She was laid to rest in a sparkly pink coffin during a service in Lancashire on February 1, with fans, her family and friends in attendance.
Linda had first been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and was given the all-clear in 2011, but in 2017 was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. It spread in 2020, and by 2023 was in her brain.
The Nolans also lost their sister Bernie in 2013, after she died of breast cancer at the age of 52.
Anne was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 (she was given the all-clear from cancer for the second time in 2022), while Coleen revealed on Loose Women she had skin cancer in 2023.
