No, its certainly not normal. Can I ask, when was the last time you repotted it with fresh compost, and how big is the pot it's in currently?

Welcome, Shazza!
Sadly, unless you took strong measures to prevent it, the compost may have frozen for too long last winter, killing the roots, and drying the top too much. It was a rough winter most places, even here in the subtropical desert.
