Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hold on to the end, is that what she intends to do?
She does indeed. The Grease star is returning for her first UK concert tour since 1978. The Cambridge-born singer will perform in Cardiff, Birmingham and other cities next March. Her seven dates include a jaunt to London's Royal Albert Hall.
Has her voice held up?
2013 marks Newton-John's 40th year in the music industry, so it could be hard for the 64-year-old to hit the same notes she did in Hopelessly Devoted To You. In recent concert appearances, her voice was clearly a little thinner than it was, and her performance wasn't quite as effortless. But she can still sing incredibly well. Fans will surely flock to the gigs to hear her three UK number ones: You're The One That I Want, Xanadu, and Summer Nights.
Is she still acting?
She recently starred in A Few Best Men, a badly reviewed comedy film in which she played a politician's coke-addled wife, and made a guest appearance on Glee as an evil judge. She's also releasing a Christmas album with none other than John Travolta. "John and I have always connected," she said. "That's never gone away. When we're together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another."
