After her team and family members spoke out about her health, Olivia Newton-John set the record straight herself.
"Happy New Year, everyone! I just want to say the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, to quote a very famous quote, and I’m doing great and I want to wish all of you the happiest, healthiest 2019 that’s possible," the "Grease" star said in a Twitter video on Wednesday night.
She added, "Thank you all for the wonderful love and support for me and for my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia."
