He told Skunk Magazine he wasn’t a fan of Newton-John when the two met through mutual friends. “I didn’t own any of her music,” he said. “In fact, I had never seen ‘Grease’ until after we were married. I got to know Olivia because we supported the same charity.” He added that the charity was founded by her close friends, whose young daughter died from an environmentally induced cancer.
He said they became good friends, and when she invited him to a concert in Florida and performed “Pearls on a Chain,” he realized she was a healer, saying she had “an incredible capacity to genuinely care for other people, animals, and the environment.” He then invited her to visit Peru and the rainforest healers with him.
