Olivia Newton-John discusses cannabis use in cancer battle update

“I’m really sorry you went through that,” Newton-John said.

“We’re sisters. Anyone that has gone on this journey with cancer, it’s unknown destinations and surprises and turns.”

Newton-John also discussed her long-lasting 1981 hit Physical, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary and the risque nature of the song at the time.

“How is this possible that I’m still talking about a song that I recorded 40 years ago and people still like it?” she said.

“I remember listening to it and going, ‘That’s a really great song,’ and didn’t really tune in to what it was about. And then when I recorded it, I started to panic, and I called my manager and said, ‘I think I’ve gone too far with this song. It’s just too much.’ And he said, ‘Well, it’s too late love, it’s taken off everywhere.'”

Newton-John is well known for her support of medical cannabis revealing in a 60 Minutes interview in 2019 that she uses marijuana to aid her recovery.
“I’m incredibly pro-cannabis,” she said.

“If I don’t take the cannabis, I can feel the pain so I know it’s working.”

With a career spanning more than five decades, which includes 100 million albums sold, four Grammy Awards, American Music and Peoples Choice Awards, and ten number-one hits including the iconic ’80s hit Physical.
