Linda Nolan’s step-son who had been fighting cancer alongside the famous singer has tragically died it has been announced
Linda Nolan’s stepson who had also been fighting cancer has tragically died. Lloyd died on Tuesday after fighting throat cancer.
Llloyd, the son of Linda’s husband, Brian had been diagnosed with throat cancer in September 2023. His tumour was too large and close to his vocal cords, so surgery had been ruled out. Linda, who was also battling cancer had been supporting Lloyd who underwent an intense round of radiotherapy.
A family friend said: “They were fighting side by side, Linda would finish her treatment and text him to check in. They joked about their meds, shared their side effects, cried together too. Linda really thought he’d outlive her. She needed that belief.”
While undergoing treatment, Lloyd was rushed to hospital after suffering a bleed when ulcers had formed around his tumour, causing further complications. But last year, things appeared to be hopeful for him after scans confirmed that his throat cancer had cleared.
A friend said: “Linda was absolutely over the moon. She kept saying ‘I’ll be the one to go, but he is going to be fine,’ she clung to that.” Sadly, when it emerged that Linda’s tumours had metastasised to her brain, Lloyd also discovered that his cancer had spread to his lungs and was incurable.
