Olivia's Chirstmas Miracle

The Aussie showbiz legend celebrates the end of 2017 with a special performance.

The festive season is a time to reflect on the year that’s just passed – and what a roller-coaster 2017 has been for Olivia Newton-John.
Earlier this year the Aussie songstress was at her lowest ebb, after being rocked by a series of health crises. As she was forced to cancel a string of US tour dates, it looked doubtful that the veteran performer would ever be well enough to take the stage again.

However, fast forward just six months and Olivia’s fortunes have completely turned around in what friends are calling ‘a Christmas miracle’. As she heads into the festive season, the singer has so many reasons to celebrate – something that seemed unimaginable just half a year earlier.

‘Olivia feels incredibly blessed to be spending Christmas with the ones she loves this year,’ says a family insider. ‘She has worked hard to remain very positive throughout her treatment, but of course she’s been scared.

‘Making it to the Christmas table with daughter Chloe and husband John is a true blessing, and she feels like her prayers have been answered.

‘She’s not out of the woods with her health by any stretch, but she’s determined to be around for many years – and Christmases – to come. That’s for sure.’

Olivia’s health crisis peaked when the 69-year-old revealed that her cancer had returned.
