Olivia Newton-John’s family share heartbreak and hope with Sunrise
Natalie Barr sits down with Chloe Lattanzi and John Easterling in breakfast TV exclusive
Sunrise will air an Australian breakfast TV exclusive with the family of the late Dame Olivia Newton-John, AC DBE, tomorrow morning on Channel 7 and 7plus.
In an emotional sit down with Sunrise co-host Natalie Barr, Olivia’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi and husband John Easterling share their heartbreak at losing the much-loved Grease and Xanadu star last year; and reveal how they are turning their pain into purpose and hope.
After supporting her mother’s 30-year battle with breast cancer, Lattanzi tells Sunrise she has been inspired to continue her work as a wellness warrior: “Seeing what people go through with cancer, there’s no greater mission.”
In awe of her mother’s grace in her final days, Lattanzi reveals “she was just so courageous and woke up every day with a smile.”
The grieving family also make a special announcement.
Speaking from Melbourne, where the interview was filmed today, Barr says: “The world knew her as the beautiful singer with the angelic voice, but now Chloe and John have sat down with me to share the part of Olivia only they saw.
“It was an emotional interview but a really funny one too, with two people who dearly loved Australia’s sweetheart.”
