Newton-John ‘grateful’ for extra time

OLIVIA Newton-John says she is grateful to have the “gift of extra time” as she lives with cancer.

The Australian actor and singer has also said she kept a cancer diagnosis in 2013 a secret because she wanted to deal with it privately.

Newton-John, who is best known for starring in the 1978 film Grease, earlier this year dismissed fears over her health, telling fans she was “doing great”. But in a new interview, the 70-year-old star told America’s Today show that she does have some fears.

“We’re all going to die, that’s probably the hardest thing to accept as a human being — that we know that.

“So I kind of consider I’ve had a gift of extra time. I’ve lost people younger than me, so I’m very grateful. I’m 70 and I’ve had the most amazing life, and I have extra time.”

Newton-John revealed in May 2017 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time after first fighting the disease in the early 1990s. But last year she revealed that it was actually the third time.

Newton-John also spoke about the speculation that prompted rumours of her death at the start of this year, to which she responded with a social media video saying that “rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated”.

“But you know, rumours start, then it gets out of control and I decided ‘No, I’m going to come out and talk about it’, because I have many friends and family around the world and I can’t call everyone, so I need to let them know I’m OK,” she said.

Newton-John will release a memoir called Don’t Stop Believin’ within days.

Olivia Newton-John says she is grateful to have the “gift of extra time” as she lives with cancer.

The Australian actress and singer has also said she kept a cancer diagnosis in 2013 a secret because she wanted to deal with it privately.

Newton-John, best known for starring alongside John Travlota in the 1978 film Grease, this year dismissed fears over her health, telling fans she was “doing great”.

In an interview, the 70-yearold star told America’s Today show that she did have some fears, adding: “I mean, everyone does.

“We’re all going to die, that’s probably the hardest thing to accept as a human being — that we know that.

“So, I kind of consider I’ve had a gift of extra time. I’ve lost people younger than me, so I’m very grateful. I’m 70 and I’ve had the most amazing life, and I have extra time. So, whatever that is, I’m grateful for it, and I will just enjoy every day, and that’s all you can do.”

Newton-John revealed in May 2017 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time after first fighting the disease in the early 1990s.

But last year she revealed that it was actually the third time because she had not previously discussed the 2013 return of cancer.
