"I needed to come home"

Olivia Newton-John reveals why she's back in Australia !

Olivia Newton-John has made an emotional return to Australia
The Grease star has come home for a cause close to her heart - and to cheer on her daughter's Australian reality TV debut.

Since embarking on a music career in the 1960s, the Aussie icon has become popular around the world for her personality, achievements and support of those in need.
Six decades in the spotlight hasn't seemed to weary her.
Instead, Olivia, 71, has used her platform to help others "any way I can".

The singer-songwriter has supported several charities and is the founding patron of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Institute. And soon, she will step up once again to perform at Fire Fight Australia, a national concert appeal to help those suffering as a result of the recent national bushfire crisis.
"I'm pretty much retired, but when I heard they were doing this, I had to be part of it," Olivia tells TV WEEK from her home in California.
"It's so important, and I feel privileged that I'm able to help in some way. Australians are tough. We have a wonderful sense of spirit and humour, and those things will get us through."

The concert, which will see Olivia join friend and collaborator John Farnham, has given the star reason to return home, a move she desperately wanted. She and husband John Easterling divide their time between California, Florida and Australia.
"It [the bushfires' devastation] has had an impact on a global scale and it breaks my heart," she says. "I had to come back and be part of it [the concert]."
While the nation is in the throes of a crisis, Olivia has had a decades-long fight of her own. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, the four-time Grammy Award winner has faced a lot.
