The 64-year-old, who was part of The Nolans - one of the most successful girl groups of all time - appeared on Good Morning Britain today and opened up about the heartbreaking news.
She told ITV viewers: "I've always been hopeful with my treatment and what's going on in my life. I just want to tell you unfortunately for me my cancer has spread to my brain that's obviously frightening because there isn't much treatment for brain cancer except for chemotherapy."
Speaking to Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley, Linda explained that she has been offered a new drug to trial alongside the chemotherapy, Mirror UK reports.
She added: "I'm not giving up. I'm positive. I'm going to lose my hair again for the fourth time."
Linda said that she has been told by doctors that the new drug has been "hailed as a wonder drug" and she hopes it will do "wonders for [her]."
After pictures emerged over the weekend of Linda visiting a hospital, the singer told her fans she would be appearing on Monday's GMB.
On Sunday, she tweeted: "Thank you all for the love and support, following those pictures coming out this weekend. I’ll be on @GMB tomorrow morning at 8:20am, with some news."
Fans of the star wished Linda well as one replied: "Sending you lots of love Linda," while another said: "Aww bless you! Sending you a truckload of love and hugs."
A third said: "The pictures felt quite intrusive to me but they did make me pause and think that I hope you’re doing ok. You are a brave, beautiful, talented lady and I send you nothing but good thoughts and warm wishes for all that you’re going through x."
Another shared: "Sending prays and love to you Linda and your family, with your battle with Cancer, i hope you beat it. Have a good time on GMB with Susanna and Ed tomorrow Linda, stay strong. Still enjoy those lovely songs by The Nolans."
