After surviving cancer in 1992 and again in 2013, it returned in 2017 and on August 9, 2022, the Grammy-award winning singer lost her battle with spinal cancer.
Synonymous with the film is the spandex pants and off-the-shoulder top Newton John wears in the movie's final scenes, still inspiring fashionistas four generations later. It was also a role that very nearly didn't happen. "For me it's about the music. If it's a great song then it's going to sell itself anyway," Newton-John told Fox News in 2016.
"I'm very lucky I have a wonderful, beautiful husband who is just so loving and fantastic. I always tell my friends you're never too old to find love," Newton-John told People magazine in 2016.The first time was breast cancer in 1992, the same weekend her father had passed away from cancer himself. In 2013, Newton-John revealed the disease was back, this time in her shoulder, and in 2017 it returned in the base of her spine.
