Singer can live without performing
FOUR-TIME GRAMMY winner Olivia Newton-John says she may return to the recording studio next year to put together a greatest hits album.
But the 42-year-old entertainer says she has no desire to resume a full-time career. Newton-John, who recently ended a seven-year hiatus from acting with the television movie “A Mom for Christmas,” says she prefers quiet family life.
“I could take or leave performing. I enjoy it, but it’s not the be-all and end-all,” she said.
In “A Mom for Christmas,” Newton-Jonn portrays a department store mannequin that comes to life to fulfill the wish of a motherless child.
Newton-John’s career has been on hold since two films, “Xanadu” and “Two of a Kind,” flopped in the early 1980s. But Newton-John says she’s been busy caring for her 4-year-old daughter, Chloe.
Newton-John’s involvement in various environmental groups began after her daughter’s birth. She is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme and a member of the board of the Earth Communications Office.
Thankfully Olivia was to change her mind about performing live
