In a video shared by Twitter Yesterday (January 2), Olivia wanted her fans a happy New Year and thanked them for their "wonderful love and support".
Asked speculation about her health, she rewritten the iconic Mark Twain line by adding: "I just want to say that the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated to quote a very famous quote.
"I'm fine and I want to wish you all the happiest and healthiest 2019 possible. Thank you for your wonderful love and support for me and for my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Center in Melbourne, Australia."
Last September, Olivia revealed that she treated her cancer with radiation therapy, a sugar-free diet and cannabis oil.
