Olivia Newton-John says she has a breast cancer and is cancelling her June tour.
The 68-year-old singer said Tuesday she initially thought she was suffering from back pain, but learned it was ``breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum.''
Newton-John said she will complete ``a short course of photon radiation therapy'' and hopes to perform later this year. She said she will be treated by the medical team at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
Says Newton-John: ``I decided on my direction of therapies after consultation with my doctors and natural therapists.''
Ticket buyers will be refunded for the cancelled shows.
