Controversy
The reunion sparked a split in the family as Anne has appeared in the press stating that she has been excluded from the tour despite being a long-serving member of the group. She has also issued a statement on her official website, which includes the comment: "they are not my sisters anymore".
Denise also issued a statement in support of Anne, claiming that the real reason for the reunion was due to some of the sisters being in financial difficulty. The other four sisters have said that the decision was made by Universal, who is sponsoring the tour, due to this being the line-up that enjoyed the most success back in the early 1980s. The Nolans released I'm in the Mood Again on 28 September 2009, and a live DVD was released on 9 November 2009.
Tour
The Nolans announced in June 2009 that they were reforming for a UK and Ireland tour. Four members - Coleen, Bernie, Linda and Maureen - undertook the tour, in October and November 2009. The two other sisters, Anne and Denise, were not involved. The tour was later released on DVD.
