70s Music Legend Maureen Nolan Can't Afford Retirement Due to Financial Struggles

In a striking revelation, Maureen Nolan of The Nolans, a 70s music sensation, has disclosed that her financial situation prevents her from retiring. Despite the band's success and millions of records sold, Maureen finds herself without the means to leave her work behind.

Fame's Financial Pitfalls

At 69 years old, Maureen, alongside her sisters Anne, Denise, Linda, Coleen, and the late Bernie, shot to fame with The Nolans. They delivered chart-busting numbers like 'I'm in the Mood for Dancing' and 'Gotta Pull Myself Together.' Despite this success, Maureen now admits to being 'broke,' with no savings, pension, and living in a rented property. She opens up about the group's naivety in financial matters when they started in 1974, leading to them being swindled by merchants and making poor financial choices.

Maureen's monetary struggles are compounded by her divorce in 2016, after which she sold her home. Unable to secure a mortgage at her age, she faces the reality of renting indefinitely. She expresses a desire for financial security that would allow her to step back from the entertainment industry, but alas, this is not her reality.

The Harsh Reality of Showbiz

Describing her career as 'famine or feast,' Maureen touches upon the constant financial worries that plague her as she approaches retirement age. With the exceptions of her sister Coleen, who hosts 'Loose Women,' Maureen shares that her siblings face similar financial difficulties.

The family has also endured their share of health struggles. The Nolan sisters have been candid about their history with cancer. Bernie Nolan passed away in 2013 due to breast cancer, Linda has battled an incurable form of the disease, and both Anne and Coleen have faced their own cancer diagnoses.

In face of these challenges, the Nolans maintain a sense of humor and resilience. As Maureen puts it, navigating life's hardships with a dose of laughter makes the journey bearable, if not easier.

Support for Those Affected by Cancer

As the Nolan family confronts the impacts of cancer, they highlight the importance of cancer support groups like Macmillan. Such organizations are crucial in providing aid and information to those coping with cancer diagnoses.
