Hey there, friends. Last week, the world seemed to stop for a moment when reports surfaced suggesting that Olivia Newton-John's breast cancer had spread to her lower back. But don’t worry—Olivia’s close friend has stepped forward to clear the air. In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, they revealed that Olivia is actually “doing great” and feeling wonderful, despite the rumors swirling around her health. Let’s dive into what’s really going on with this incredible icon.
Let me paint you a picture. Olivia, the 69-year-old superstar, recently wrapped up promotions for the 40th anniversary of the iconic movie Grease. And guess what? She was feeling so good that she was out on the dance floor with none other than John Travolta! That’s right, folks. According to her friend, Olivia was in such great spirits that she couldn’t resist dancing with her beloved co-star. It’s a testament to her strength and resilience, even in the face of adversity.
But wait, there’s more. On Wednesday, August 22, a source claimed that Olivia was “trying to remain positive” after learning her breast cancer had spread nearly a year after she first announced her second diagnosis. The source even went on to say, “It’s the beginning of the end for Olivia. This is her final fight, and she promises to go out swinging. Her goal is to make it to her 70th birthday on September 26 and have a big celebration. Olivia is taking herbal medications and just trying to fight the cancer naturally. She’s trying to remain positive and taking things one day at a time.”

Now, here’s where things get a little complicated. Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a longevity expert who hasn’t treated Olivia, chimed in at the time, saying, “Her immune system has lost its ability to recognize that cancerous cells are different from her own cells. This has allowed her cancer to spread to her bones.”
Meanwhile, the Australian news outlet The New Daily dropped another bombshell on the same day, revealing that Olivia had canceled her upcoming Australian tour just three weeks after the concerts were announced. According to the outlet, a short message posted to the concert promoter’s website on Wednesday, August 22, confirmed “with regret” that the shows had been scrapped for “reasons beyond our control.” The message also stated, “We are very sorry about this — canceling shows is the last thing we like to do.”
Clearing Up the Confusion
But here’s the thing: Olivia’s friend later told Closer that the cancellation of her tour “was due to scheduling, nothing else.” They added that it wasn’t even a concert tour but just two speaking engagements. It’s important to separate fact from fiction, especially when it comes to someone as beloved as Olivia.
