Olivia Newton-John was a true fighter. She battled breast cancer for 30 years — dating back to 1992; with her most recent battle beginning in 2019, when she’d publicly announced she was battling stage 4 cancer.

She was also known amongst her loved ones as being a very giving person. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
