Olivia Newton-John sat down with Austrailia’s Sunday Night, and she told them she has been diagnosed with cancer for the third time.
Back in 1992, the actress revealed that she was battling breast cancer. She beat it and has been the face of beating it ever since.
Then is 2013, her sister was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and six weeks later she lost her battle. Shortly after losing her sister, John was in a car accident and noticed a bump on her shoulder. She thought it was from the accident, but turns out the breast cancer returned. She decided to fight it naturally and with radiation. It worked to shrink the tumor.
But then last year, the 69-year-old got some very bad news that it spread to her lower back. She is fighting it naturally with radiation again and she is doing well. The reason why she looks so much skinnier is that she gave up sugar. She deals with pain with CBD oil.
Hopefully, this time will be the last time and she will beat it once and for all.
In the hour-long interview, she talks about her career including the controversy behind Physical, her loves, her daughter and her three miscarriages. It is a must-watch for fans.
Olivia Newton-John cancelled her upcoming book tour dates. Radar reported it is because her cancer has returned with a vengeance. Then they added, these are her “sad last days” because it has spread into her bones.
In May 2017, she revealed she was diagnosed with cancer again. She had previously beat breast cancer in 1992.
Well, I was a little suspicious of the story because she looked healthy when she attended Grease’s 40th-anniversary last week. Turns out I was right. Her publicist Michael Caprio released the below statement to clear things up.
Olivia Newton-John’s two upcoming speaking appearances in Australia were canceled due to scheduling conflicts with her upcoming promotional tour for her new book, ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ and the ONJ Cancer Wellness & Research Centre’s Wellness Walk & Research Run – not illness as falsely reported.
She’s looking forward to walking with everyone at the Wellness Walk on September 16th in Melbourne and, is excited that this year the walk is going global and people can support it by becoming virtual walkers from wherever they are in the world.
Back in 1992, Olivia Newton-John battled and beat breast cancer and now, 25 years later, she is doing it again. The singer recently postponed her tour due to back pain and today she revealed the real cause of the back pain on Facebook today.
Olivia Newton-John is reluctantly postponing her June U.S. and Canadian concert tour dates. The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour, has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum.
In addition to natural wellness therapies, Olivia will complete a short course of photon radiation therapy and is confident she will be back later in the year, better than ever, to celebrate her shows.
“I decided on my direction of therapies after consultation with my doctors and natural therapists and the medical team at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia,” says Olivia Newton-John.
There will be no interview requests accepted at this time as Olivia’s focus is on her treatment and healing. Ticket buyers for the upcoming concerts should contact venues directly about refunds. Rescheduled concert dates will be posted at OliviaNewton-John.com in the coming weeks.
Hopefully, she will beat it just like she did last time.
For those of you, like me, who don’t know what the sacrum is, here is the definition “a triangular bone in the lower back formed from fused vertebrae and situated between the two hipbones of the pelvis.”
Olivia Newton-John surprised her friends on July 4th because they thought they were going to her house for a barbeque, but instead it was really for her wedding to her boyfriend of a year, John Easterling according to The Daily Telegraph!
Olivia Newton-John was almost forced to cancel the big day when a brush fire broke out in a nearby canyon.
But a source said: "John said they could wait a few days, or change the venue, but Olivia was determined that nothing was going to interfere with her special day."
Not much more is known about the nuptials, but hopefully this guy is better than her last one. You know the guy who went missing and has yet to be found?
It was announced today during a press call about the upcoming NBC reality show that film star Olivia Newton-John had agreed to appear on the first two episodes of the show. Also during the call, director Kathleen Marshall revealed that the Broadway production will be the first to use a blend of material from the film and the stage show including the first live performance of songs like "You’re The One That I Want" and "Hopelessly Devoted." The script she stated, will likely be closer to the Broadway script, than the film script. It’s hoped that other Grease alumni will make appearances throughout the show’s run as audience members or to reminisce about their times in the show. "You’re the One That I Want," produced by David Ian, will center on the search for stars on an upcoming Broadway revival of Grease, directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall. After the first two hour-and-a-half-long episodes air on NBC on January 7th and 14th, "You’re the One That I Want" will be seen weekly on that channel on Sunday nights in hour installments (check local listings). Bravo will re-air the episodes on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM, Wednesdays at 12 AM and Thursdays at 11 PM (check local listings). In addition, a number of Grease stars – from the original stage production, the last Broadway revival, the film version and its sequel Grease 2 – will make guest appearances on the reality show. The line-up includes Barry Bostwick (original Danny Zuko on Broadway), Jeff Conaway (Danny replacement in the original run and Kenickie in the film), Marilu Henner (Marty replacement in original run), Lucy Lawless (Rizzo replacement in Broadway revival), and Adrian Zmed (Danny replacement in original run and revival, and Johnny in Grease 2). Jai Rodriguez ("Queer Eye…," Rent, Zanna Don’t) and Tony Award-winner Marissa Jaret Winokur (Hairspray) will also appear as guests. "You’re the One That I Want," will be, as previously announced, co-hosted by "Access Hollywood"’s co-anchor Billy Bush and West End theatre and British TV star Denise Van Outen (Chicago, Tell Me on a Sunday). The new production of Grease will open on Broadway in June 2007 and will be directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award-winner Marshall (The Pajama Game). Paul Nicholas and David Ian Associates, Nederlander Presentations and Phoenix Productions will produce. Jim Jacobs, the co-creator of Grease, along with Marshall and renowned theatre producer David Ian are set as judges on "You’re the One That We Want."
