Olivia Newton-John, 70, was forced to address vicious rumours about her health back in January.
And while the Australian icon insists she is 'doing well' with her health, she admits battling with cancer has changed her perception of death.
Speaking to The Herald Sun this weekend, the Grease star said she's learned to live in the moment and appreciate every day as a gift.'

'When you have a cancer diagnosis it changes things. We all know we're going to die one day. We don't like to think about it, but one day we all will,' she told the paper.
'When you have a cancer diagnosis it just makes it more obvious that it could happen and it makes you much more aware of the present and that every day is a gift and that's how I live,' she said.
Olivia, who hasn't worked since September last year due to a fractured sacrum, also confirmed that she has no plans to return to the stage.
