The Nolan Sisters
{
The Nolans were an Anglo-Irish girl group formed in Blackpool in 1974, originally known as the Nolan Sisters. They changed their name to The Nolans in 1980. Between 1979 and 1982, they enjoyed a string of hit singles, including I'm in the Mood for Dancing, Gotta Pull Myself Together, Who's Gonna Rock You, Attention to Me, and Chemistry. They became one of the world’s best-selling girl groups and found particular success in Japan. In 1981, they became the first European act to win the Tokyo Music Festival with Sexy Music, and in 1991, they received a Japan Record Award (Tokubetsu Kikaku Shō).
The group disbanded in 2005 but re-formed in 2009 with only four of the original members. A "farewell tour" was planned for 2013, but it was cancelled after the death of Bernie Nolan. A reality television show featuring the group was later launched. However, no further albums or tours were announced. In 2025, Linda Nolan died of breast cancer and double pneumonia after being admitted to Blackpool Victoria Hospital, where she later fell into a coma.
