Kelly Lang and Dame Olivia Newton-John have known each other for many years not only as fellow artists but also as close friends and cancer thrivers. Lang’s autobiography titled, ‘I’m Not Going Anywhere’ includes the Foreword written by Olivia, a testament to their unbreakable bond. The two were introduced to each other by their mutual friend Sir Barry Gibb.
Newton-John’s album Just The Two of Us: Duets Collection Volume 1 includes a duet with Kelly of the Bee Gees classic “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” written by Barry Gibb. What makes this duet so unique is at the time of its recording, all three were thriving friends with a healthy future. Sadly, Olivia passed away before the release of this album, leaving her two friends behind trying to figure out how to mend their broken hearts.
The kindred friendship these three have shared over the years can’t be described in words, but can be seen in a few rare, behind-the-scenes photos in the new video that is being released for “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.”
“I’ll never forget the thrill of being in the studio and singing a duet with my musical hero, Dame Olivia Newton-John,” shares Lang. “The fact that we became friends through Sir Barry Gibb, the writer of “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” the song we recorded, was even more special. I must say though, that since her passing, the words to this song are even more meaningful. While putting the footage together for this video, I have to admit that many tears were shed. It is very bittersweet now to watch it knowing that we will never sing together again.”
Lang has also recently been featured on The Today Show Australia, Forbes, AARP, MORE Fox 5 Las Vegas, KUSI-TV San Diego, and more!

“I am thrilled that my book is now available in audiobook format,” shares Lang. “Due to vision problems or a busy schedule, many fans have expressed that they would rather listen to a story than read it.
