Linda Nolan (23 February 1959 – 15 January 2025) was an Irish singer and actress.[1] She was known as a member of the girl group The Nolans in 1974, along with her sisters Anne, Denise, Maureen, Bernie and Coleen.
As a member of the Nolans, she toured with Frank Sinatra in 1975, had seven UK top 20 hits (1979–82) and won the Tokyo Music Festival in 1981.
On 7 July 2014, she claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Rolf Harris in 1975 while The Nolans were supporting Harris in a tour of South Africa.[2]
In March 2017, Nolan accidentally collapsed and broke her hip at home.[3] During examination of her broken hip, she was diagnosed with an "incurable" form of cancer near her hip.[3]
Nolan died on 15 January 2025 from problems caused by pneumonia at a hospital in Blackpool, England at the age of 65.[4]
