Nolan sister Linda Nolan has returned to the stage and her role in musical Blood Brothers following her recent breast cancer diagnosis. As previously reported, the singer's condition was revealed back in February, as she was approaching her 47th birthday. She has since undergone surgery to remove eleven cancerous lymph nodes and a four inch tumour, and will now be fitting her chemotherapy around her touring commitments.
Speaking whilst at Bournemouth's Pavilion Theatre on the current leg of the musical's UK tour, she said: "The opening night was fabulous. I was nervous but it was great. I was welcomed back with open arms. Ten weeks ago I had my operation. I haven't had the all clear yet, but the signs are all great. It's devastating for any person diagnosed with this illness but you just have to be positive and get on with it. I had great support from family, friends, my husband and support from people I don't even know because of the business I am in."
