After her fourth cancer diagnosis, singer Linda Nolan disclosed the disease has spread to her brain.

Linda, 64, revealed on Good Morning Britain that she was diagnosed last week. She is a member of the musical group The Nolans together with her sisters.

On Good Morning Britain, she stated that as the only treatment option for brain cancer at the time is radiation, which she will be receiving, it is understandably quite terrifying.


She declared that she would use a "wonder drug." The singer would not mention it by name but continued: "We're going to test me on it as a chemo medicine, with some other therapy. There is a new drug that's been in use for a year for brain cancer."

She started a singing trio in the 1970s with her sisters Bernie, Maureen, Anne, Coleen, and Denise. They have a long list of songs, including I'm in the Mood for Dancing and Don't Make Waves from 1979.

Also, there have been several instances of cancer in their family.
