Liz Hayes meets with Olivia Newton-John for 60 Minutes this Sunday.
Olivia Newton-John is undeniably one of our most loved and celebrated stars. A singer, actress and tireless philanthropist, she has held a place in our hearts for more than half a century. For 27 of those years she has been locked in an on-and-off battle with breast cancer. Earlier this year came the reports we’d dreaded, that the disease was in its final stages and Olivia was at death’s door. After spending a few days with the superstar at her ranch in California, reporter Liz Hayes discovered the rumours of her imminent demise were way off the mark. Yes, she is battling stage-four cancer. Yes, there are bad days as well as good ones. But our Olivia remains a woman of awe-inspiring positivity, strength and courage. This week on 60 MINUTES, witness one of the most remarkable interviews of the year: how the devotion of a loving family, and an unconventional treatment, is helping Olivia face up to the greatest challenge of her life, including a rare and raw insight from her daughter, Chloe Lattanzi. Powerful, emotional, and a reminder of the important things in life, it’s Olivia Newton-John as you’ve never seen her before.
Producer: Stefanie Sgroi
Reporter: Liz Hayes

Praying for a miracle for Olivia and her cancer. May the Hemp Oil do wonders for her! Praying for her strength and that of her family.
Me too. Olivia has been visited by tragedy too many times and selflessly given so much to help others. I don’t pray, but sending love and light her way.
