Olivia was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 43 in 1992, and went public with her struggle. It was five years before the Australian songbird finally announced that a doctor had declared her cancer-free. But now, after concerts had already been cancelled in May, Olivia's representatives have announced: "The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum."

Olivia's reps had announced earlier that "concerts scheduled for May will be postponed due to a bad issue with Olivia’s sciatica.” In a tragic twist, Olivia's current concert tour was even supporting a new album about healing!
