Read our privacy policy Singer and actor Olivia Newton-John has died following a long battle with breast cancer, her husband announced on Monday. “Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer.” Olivia Newton-John was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and beat the disease, before being diagnosed again with stage 4 breast cancer in 2017. In 2020, Newton-John shared surprising details about her breast cancer battle at the launch of the Olivia Newton-John Foundation – that her initial mammogram didn’t detect her breast cancer. In the case of Olivia Newton-John, a false-negative result occurs when mammograms appear normal, even though breast cancer is present.
