Musician Linda, 64, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, before getting a diagnosis of incurable secondary breast cancer in 2017, which had spread to her hip.
The cancer has continued to spread, with The Nolans singer revealing in March that her cancer had spread to her brain and she was now ‘preparing for the inevitable.’
Linda has remained positive, saying she will undergo treatment in the hopes to give her more time, and has said she has picked out a pink and sparkly coffin.
This week, a message spread on social media from a man claiming the musician had died.
He shared an old photograph of the star and shared some of the ‘many memories’ he had of her from seeing The Nolans over the years.
As fans began to fear the worst, Linda’s family shared the tweet and issued a stern message, revealing that in just 20 minutes since it was posted, they had received a large volume of calls attempting to confirm the news.
They added, in no uncertain terms: ‘Linda Nolan is absolutely NOT dead.’
Fans flocked to the comment section to share their relief and frustration on the ‘terrible rumour,’ with one saying they hoped the false announcement was ‘a genuine error … not malicious.’
Linda herself shared her family’s message to her personal Twitter account, and even changed her name on the site to ‘Linda Nolan is STILL ALIVE.’
The star recently opened up about her prognosis in an interview with The Mirror, where she says she is often ‘positive,’ but that she has ‘moments when I slide down the wall in a heap.’
She said she now believes she is one a ‘one-way trip now,’ and has begun to plan her own funeral – like her husband Brian Hudson, who died in 2007, did.
Linda’s sister, Bernie, also a member of The Nolans, died 10 years ago, haveing also suffered from cancer which had spread to her brain. She was 52 when she died.
‘I remember with Bernie, she phoned me and said, “It’s gone to my brain, I’m f***ed.” At the time there was only radiotherapy, and then it didn’t work.
‘But for me there is a new drug, and hope.’
