Beloved singer and actress Olivia Newton-John has died at the age of 73.
Aug. 8, 2022 -- Olivia Newton-John will forever be known for her feel-good ballads, sunny disposition and her star turn as a goody-two-shoes in the hit musical “Grease.” But the singer-songwriter wanted to be remembered for more than the love songs and the role that defined her decades-long career.more than a quarter century ago, Newton-John used her celebrity status to help increase awareness of the disease that affects more than 2 million women worldwide.
Among all cancers, breast cancer is the No. 1 cause of death among women, statistics from the World Health Organization show. The disease is the most-frequently diagnosed cancer among women, and some developed countries have the highest rates in the world. In the United States, it is estimated that one in eight women will develop the disease.
Rumors that Newton-John’s health had deteriorated surfaced in the summer of 2018, and intensified later that year. But in a short video message posted on her Facebook page in January 2019, Newton-John dismissed the dire reports about her condition, telling her fans, “I just want to say that the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated...And I’m doing great. I want to wish all of you the happiest, healthiest 2019 as possible.
