The fashion world said farewell to designers Paul Costelloe and Giorgio Armani, while the world of sport was rocked by the sudden deaths of boxer Ricky Hatton and Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota.

Here are some of the well-known people who died in 2025.

JANUARY

Singer Linda Nolan died aged 65 following a long battle with cancer.

The Irish star was part of the family group The Nolans, which also included her sisters Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne.

The Nolans released their most enduring hit I'm In The Mood For Dancing in 1979, and enjoyed a string of further chart successes.

Director David Lynch, known for the surreal TV series Twin Peaks and films such as Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, died aged 78.

The US director's work was known for its dreamlike, surreal quality, with his films also including The Elephant Man (1980), Wild At Heart (1990) and Mulholland Drive (2001).

Singer and actress Marianne Faithfull died at the age of 78.

Her hits included As Tears Go By, which was written by The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Faithfull also acted in films including The Girl On A Motorcycle, as well as theatre productions.

FEBRUARY

Grammy-winning US singer Roberta Flack died aged 88.

She was known for songs including The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Killing Me Softly With His Song.

In 2022 it was announced Flack had motor neurone disease, a progressive neurological condition that had made it "impossible" for her to sing.

US actress Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her roles in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl, died aged 39.
