“Bernie passed away peacefully this morning with all of her family around her,” says her publicist. “The entire family are devastated to have lost beloved Bernie, a wonderful wife, adoring mother and loving sister; she is irreplaceable.”
As a member of The Nolan Sisters, Bernie was a chart regular during the ‘70s with the likes of ‘I’m In The Mood For Dancing’, ‘Don’t Make Waves’ and ‘Gotta Pull Myself Together’. They were especially big for a while in Japan where they toured extensively.
Lemmy was a huge fan – on several levels! – and guested with them on The Young And Moody Band’s hard rocking ‘Don’t Do That To Me’.
Originally from Dublin, the Nolan family moved to Blackpool in the 1960s.
