Bernadette Nolan, a member of singing sister act The Nolans, has died of cancer at age 52.
The singer's management agency, Urban Associates, said in a statement that Nolan died Thursday surrounded by her family.
Universally known as Bernie, Nolan was raised in Blackpool, northwestern England, and began performing with her family when she was a child.
The Nolans had a worldwide hit in 1979 with I'm In the Mood For Dancing and gained large followings from Britain to Japan.
Nolan left in 1994 to focus on an acting career that included a role on soap opera Brookside and parts in stage musicals including Blood Brothers and Chicago.
In 2010 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which later spread.
Nolan is survived by her husband, Steve Doneathy, and their daughter, Erin.

Bernie Nolan, who has died of cancer aged 52, was the youngest of the original Nolan Sisters lineup, whose cheerful, unthreatening, middle-of-the-road pop made them one of Britain's best known acts from the late 1970s to the mid-80s.

Their earliest singles on EMI and Target Records misfired, but in 1978 they reached No 3 on the UK album chart with 20 Giant Hits, a set of cover versions of pop standards such as Sailing, The Way We Were and Song Sung Blue. That year, Denise Nolan left the group to develop a solo career, and the others continued as a quartet. In 1979, the group competed to perform the UK's entry for the Eurovision song contest, and their song Harry My Honolulu Lover was regarded as certain to earn them selection. However, it was Black Lace who represented Britai
