Singer Chloe Lattanzi has admitted she's been "neglecting" herself as she faces heartbreaking health struggles, just one year after her mother's death.
The 37-year-old, who is the daughter of the late Olivia Newton-John, revealed she has been suffering from memory loss and has found it difficult to get out of bed since her mum's death. Olivia died at the age of 73 on August 8, 2022.
The Grease actress had been diagnosed with breast cancer which spread to her bones and progressed to stage four. She died at her home, surrounded by family and friends.
In a new Instagram video, Chloe opened up about her own health woes. She said: "I have not been okay.

"So, I'm gonna disappear for about three weeks because I'm developing health issues in my mind and body." Chloe then apologised to her friends and family for failing to make certain commitments.
She said she hopes to return after a month of rest. Chloe added: "I look forward to coming home to my power."
The singer told fans she would see them "at the walk", referencing her mother's annual Walk for Wellness. The event will take place in Melbourne in October to raise funds for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre.

They announced their separation in April 1995, and divorced in 1996. Olivia and Matt managed to remain good friends following the split.
