Actress and singer Bernie Nolan has died at the age of 52, following a long battle with breast cancer.

The former lead singer of The Nolans was first diagnosed in 2010, and had chemotherapy and a mastectomy, receiving an all-clear in 2012.

However, months later the disease returned and spread to her brain, bones, lungs and liver.

In recent years she was best known for her acting roles in The Bill and Channel 4 soap Brookside.

'Bernie passed away peacefully this morning with all of her family around her,' said a spokesperson for the family.

'The entire family are devastated to have lost beloved Bernie, a wonderful wife, adoring mother and loving sister, she is irreplaceable.'

Born on 17 October 1960, she grew up in Ireland, performing as a family troupe with her five sisters and two brothers. Her father Tommy would go on to be the Nolans' manager - but after his death, eldest sister Anne revealed he had sexually abused her from the age of 11.
Nolan turned to acting following 20 years fronting the Irish all-girl group and a string of hits including 1979's I'm in the Mood for Dancing and Don't Make Waves.

She left the group in 1994, and took to the stage, performing in productions including Blood Brothers in London's West End, Flashdance and a UK tour of Chicago the Musical.

    Bernie Nolan dies aged 52

    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. The five siblings began performing as the Nolan Sisters in 1974 and gained priceless exposure to a mainstream audience from appearing on Cliff Richard's television programme, and then with Morecambe and Wise and the Two Ronnies. They were the support act on Frank Sinatra's 1975 European tour and accompanied Rolf Harris on dates in South Africa.

    Bernie recalled: 'People like the Two Ronnies and Val Doonican liked working with us because we were not showbizzy kids. We weren't pretentious or obnoxious, we could just sing.' Bernie and Linda, still in their teens, had tutors accompanying them on tour so they could keep up with their school work.

    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

    Singer-Songwriter Joe South Dies Aged 72 after Suffering Heart Attack Video

    Singer-songwriter Joe South died yesterday from a heart attack, his music publisher has said.
    South is best-known for performing hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s such as Games People Play and Walk A Mile In My Shoes, and also penned songs including Down in the Boondocks for other artists
    South, whose real name was Joseph Souter, died aged 72 at his home in Buford, Georgia., northeast of Atlanta, according to Marion Merck of the Hall County Coroner's office.
    'He's one of the greatest songwriters of all time,' said Butch Lowery, president of the Lowery Group, which published South's music. 'His songs have touched so many lives. He's such a wonderful guy and loved by many.'
    South worked as a session guitar player on recordings of some of the biggest names of the 1960s — Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel, among others. But he had a string of hits of his own starting in the late 1960s that made his booming voice a familiar one on radio stations, with a style that some described as a mix of country and soul.

    Flashback: The star penned songs such as Rose Garden, Hush and Games People Play
    He is perhaps best known for the song Games People Play, which reached No. 12 on the Billboard charts in 1969 and won him two Grammys for Best Contemporary Song and Song of the Year.
    The opening lines evoked the message songs of the era: 'Oh the games people play now, eve
