Linda Nolan’s Heartbreaking Reaction to Grim ‘Death Prediction’ Amid Cancer Battle
Linda Nolan has responded with resilience and humor to cruel online predictions about her health as she continues her cancer treatment. The 65-year-old singer, who has been battling secondary cancer since 2017 and revealed last year that her brain tumors had grown, addressed the negativity head-on after her name appeared on a grim “celebrity death predictions” list.
A user on social media included Linda among other public figures in their list of “celebrity deaths” for the year, sparking outrage from fans. Linda, however, responded defiantly, tweeting: “Every New Year, I’m always on the ‘predicted celebrity death’ list. Guess what?? I’M STILL HERE!!”
Her followers quickly rallied around her with messages of love and support. One wrote, “Life isn’t promised to anyone, even the horrible people who say things like that. Here’s to many more years for you yet, Linda, and I hope you have a wonderful new year.” Another commented, “You’re still rocking it too, Linda. Wishing you good health and many more happy years to come”, reported the Express.
Linda, who suffered a fall last October amid her treatment, also shared how she uses humor to cope with her condition. Reflecting on a Halloween mishap, she joked with The Mirror about scaring trick-or-treaters with her bald head and missing teeth, a result of chemotherapy. “I couldn’t stop laughing,” she said. “I love Halloween, and they thought I was a witch. A real one!”
The fall, which left her “looking like I’d gone five rounds with Mike Tyson,” prompted Linda to move in with her sister Denise for extra support. Despite the challenges, Linda remains determined to embrace life, reflecting on how she never thought she’d reach her 60th birthday. Now, at 65, she’s filled with gratitude and resilience.
“It’s easy to sit back and get depressed about it, but I’m still going,” she shared in a candid interview. Looking ahead, Linda revealed her hopes for the year, saying, “To not die, obviously. More than anything, I want to be surrounded by my family. My ultimate goal is for us all to be together this time next year.”
As fans continue to champion her spirit, Linda’s defiance in the face of adversity remains an inspiration to many.
