‘How are you not broken?’: Olivia Newton-John’s incredible response to Karl Stefanovic’s question after her tragic cancer diagnosis

An emotional Karl Stefanovic has paid tribute as he looked back on his time with Olivia Newton-John following the Australian icon’s death

The actress and singer, 73, passed away peacefully at her home in Southern Californian ranch this morning, surrounded by family and friends.

She was survived by husband John Easterling and daughter Chloe Lattanzi, who posted a heartwarming photo with her mum as a little girl.

Today show co-host Stefanovic was among those rocked as Australians wake up to the sad news on Tuesday morning.

‘The reach was far and wide. From down under and right around the world,’ he said.

He reminisced spending time with the Grease star for a 60 Minutes interview in 2017, where she opened up about her battle with breast cancer following her second diagnosis.

 The interview was touted by 60 Minutes as ‘the interview of the year.’

You’ve had so many battles, haven’t you? How are you not broken? Stefanovic asked.

‘Oh goodness,’ Newton-John began.

‘Come on,’ Stefanovic urged.

‘I’ve had and am having an amazing life so I have no complaints,’ she replied

‘I really don’t. Everyone goes through something. We all have something we need to go through in life. This has been my challenge.’

She said the hardest part was breaking the news to her daughter and husband.

‘Well, that wasn’t easy. But I did deliver it in a positive way, of course,’ she said.

‘Everybody has those conversations in their life. They are hard.’
