Olivia Newton-John‘s poignant final Aussie interviews before her passing have resurfaced in which she candidly discussed life and death.
In February last year, the beloved Aussie singer and actress spoke openly about death and how she has accepted it may come sooner rather than later for her.
“I’ve had quite a few times where I’ve contemplated it as being a possibility sooner than I would’ve wanted it,” the Grease star said on Sarah Grynberg’s A Life of Greatness podcast. “I mean, we all know that we’re gonna die. I think we spend our lives probably much in denial of it.”

Newton-John – who was fighting her third cancer battle at the time – said she wasn’t afraid of dying as she believes there is more to the afterlife.
“I feel that we are all one thing, and I’ve had experiences with spirits and spirit life. I believe there is something that happens,” she shared. “I hope the energies of the people you love will be there … I think all the love will be there. I’m sort of looking forward to that – not now, but when it happens.”
“It’s almost like we are parts of the same computer and we go back to the main battery,” she added. Watch the clip above.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Newton-John revealed the pact she had made with God when she was pregnant with her daughter Chloe Lattanzi, who she welcomed in 1986 with her then-husband, actor Matt Lattanzi.
The star said she was close to losing the pregnancy, so she made a deal with God to keep her unborn baby safe.

“I was close to losing her,” the star told host Grynberg. “I went to bed and asked God to save her and if he did, I would say the Lord’s Prayer every night for the rest of my life and so I have.”
Last year in September, Newton-John also shared her thoughts on life and death in an interview with the Australian Women’s Weekly, revealing she always made the effort to focus on the positives throughout her health battles.

“You have to believe that you’ll be OK,” she told the magazine. “I mean, there are times when you go, ‘Oh gosh, what’s going to happen?’ But at the bottom of all that, you have to believe you’ll be OK because your attitude is so important to your healing. The body wants to heal naturally.”
“I intend to live for a long time and I’m doing everything I can to help other people do the same,” said Newton-John, who founded her Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in 2015 . “I’m grateful for life. After all I’ve been through, I’m just very grateful that I’m here.”
