| Olivia and Michael before seeing the interior of the Centre for the first time. |
Michael is currently in Australia with Olivia Newton-John for the grand opening ceremonies for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.
Olivia has spent the better part of the last ten years helping raise almost $200 million dollars to build this research, treatment and wellness centre for people diagnosed or affected by cancer.
The Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre will combine research laboratories, clinical treatment and complementary therapies in a one stop shop aimed at attacking cancer from all angles.
Patients will be able to join singalongs in a dedicated music room, take a yoga class or enjoy a massage in combination with their chemotherapy.
Cutting the ribbon on the centre on Friday, Newton-John said complementary therapies were an underrated component in the fight against cancer, which began for her with a diagnosis in 1992.
'I had to find it myself and go to different places or have them come to me,' she said.
'I was lucky I could do that but most people can't so that's why this is wonderful.
'It's actually more than I ever could have pictured or dreamed of.'
The pics below were taken right before Olivia was able to see the inside of the newly built centre for the very first time.

Congratulations for your endless fundraising efforts. I'm so proud of you girl!

Thanks Olivia for all you're doing ! I had the great chance to meet you with my French little sister at your last show at the Opera. Our mother did not make it 10 years ago already ! You signed an autograph to my dear friend Michael who had a liver transplant this year and who adores you. I gave your CD to my mother in law who is 88 and a real trouper for her birthday. Your love and good energies are to be shared ! Keep going .... Love Peace
