Olivia Newton-John on her sister Rona Newton-John's recent diagnosis of brain cancer

Michael and I with Olivia and Rona Newton-John

From Olivia Newton-John:

"I recently received the very sad news that my beautiful sister, Rona Newton-John, has been diagnosed with brain cancer.

"In light of this news, I have decided to postpone my forthcoming Las Vegas residency to spend time with her and our family.

"As a cancer 'thriver' myself, as many people are, I am very aware of the importance of love, support and family during this journey she is about to begin. I want to thank everyone in advance for respecting our privacy during this difficult time. "

I have personally gotten to know Rona over the past several years, and we've developed a close friendship between us.  Rona is bright, clever, funny, warm and a delight.  I care for her greatly.

I don't ask anything of my readers very often, but if you could - please send your best thoughts Rona's way.   I personally appreciate it.
