Linda Nolan said she doesn't know how long she has left but that she's 'not giving up' as she shared her cancer news on Good Morning Britain. The singer appeared on the ITV news programme on Monday (March 27) after being seen in a wheelchair sparked concern.
She shared with hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid that after pictures of her were released of her leaving hospital in a wheelchair, just weeks after her 64th birthday, she wanted to give her own update on her condition.
Linda, who has sold more than 30 million records with her sisters in the hit band The Nolans, shared the sad news that she has been told her cancer has spread to her brain. Speaking to co-hosts Richard and Susanna live via video link, she said: "Unfortunately, sadly for me, my cancer has now spread to my brain, which I only found out on Monday."
