    Olivia Newton-John is dying of cancer

    Just heard this and feel really bad.

    She was my first REAL celebrity crush even before Grease.

    Still melt when I hear Have You Ever Been Mellow

    Wishing for a miracle

      I checked her facebook and twitter accounts, and she's been active the past few days, so it doesn't sound like she's a death's door.

        Was reading that her old breast cancer came back and moved into her lower back.

        The article I read said she's going to try "alternative medicine" which to me sounds like the doctors told her there's nothing they can do.

          This is my favorite ONJ album cover. Pretty sure it imprinted on my teenage brain the image of what a hot girl should look like. Still hits all the buttons too.

            I don’t think it’s a true story. She tweeted 13 hours ago that she’s excited to see everyone at her upcoming shows in Sydney and Melborne. Additionally, there is absolutely nothing in the current ne s about her being sick. There ar just some articles on her current shows and reviews...stuff like that.

              Looking at that picture, she kind of has that Lindsay Wagner Bionic Woman vibe going, or maybe it's just me?
              well regardless she was my first crush, my sister had her early albums.

                the only news I could find was from early this year that it had moved to her back but that she had beaten it again. she is 69 years old now, BTW

                      It's true that she announced in 2017 that she was suffering from breast cancer again, but it's not true that she is "dying". She's responded very well to treatment and is doing great.. also back to performing, as you mentioned.

                          There's a video of her and John Travolta on YouTube recently talking about Grease so I don't think it's too bad.

                            umm........let's not forget about someone else that has also been suffering these last 3 days, and didn't fare as well.

                            You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.
