Sad news from the world of music today, as a truly beloved and wildly gifted songstress had passed away.

The Irish singer and TV personality was reportedly surrounded by loved ones as she breathed her last breath.

“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,” reads a statement issued today by Linda’s agenda, Dermot McNamara.
“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,” McNamara continued.
