<\/p>\nColeen Nolan says she still feels the presence of her late sister Bernie Nolan a decade after her tragic death.<\/p>\n
The Loose Women star, 58, has announced she's going on her first solo tour next year.<\/p>\n
It will be the first time she'll hit the road without her famous sisters but the singer has revealed that she'll still perform the hits that made her family's group famous.<\/p>\n

"It would be stupid of me to try and leave that out really. It's because of those songs we became as famous as we did," Coleen told Daily Star.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"I'll definitely do some Nolan songs which will be very embarrassing when I open in Blackpool and my sisters will be sitting there. <\/p>\n
"Who knows they might jump up and join in, hopefully."<\/p>\n
Coleen went on to share that the band probably would have toured again but Bernie's death in 2013 changed her mind.<\/p>\n
She explained: "We did a reunion tour in 2009 and we hadn't performed as the actual group in 25 years before then and it was the best tour we ever did. We absolutely loved it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
"Bernadette especially loved it and we probably would have done it again but we lost Bernie. <\/p>\n
"I felt there was kind of conversation going around saying 'the rest of you can go on tour' but I can't without Bernie do an actual Nolans thing because she was the Nolans.<\/p>\n
"I decided I probably won't ever do this again really but now I think the time is right."<\/p>\n

Coleen says her sisters' cancer battles have inspired her to "bite the bullet" and tick her dream of doing a solo tour off her bucket list.<\/p>\n
"It's actually Bernie, and now Linda with what she's going through, is spurring me on to do it and life is too short" Coleen said.<\/p>\n
"I do feel if Bernie did communicate with me she'd go 'stop being an idiot, get up and do it. Don't regret it.<\/p>\n
"I definitely feel Bernie's presence."<\/p>\n
Fans can expect tears, laughter and plenty of singing as Coleen is set to take audience members back to her first long of performing by singing a selection of her favourite songs which have become the soundtrack to her life.<\/p>\n
