Oh dear, sweet, magical, eternal Olivia. You gave so much to this world and to this little boy who saw acceptance in your twinkling eyes and glittering world. You made us all feel held by the sweetness of your voice and the capacity of your heart. I hope you are in Xanadu.

Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of the release of the debut Savage Garden album. Tonight I’ll be performing in front of over 40,000 people at the SCG for Mardi Gras. I am so lucky to have been given a quarter of a century of a career in music because of your love and support.

After watching the #HarryandMeganNetflix doc I am so glad they escaped that system. I’m so shocked by the volume of racist misogyny directed toward Meghan. They deserve nothing but joy forever.

I can't stop crying. Crying because she's gone, crying with gratitude for all she left us. I can't believe I grew up finding solace in her voice and then one day I got to write a song for and sing with her. I feel so grateful and so sad at the same time

When I was 15 I saw Michael Jackson at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre & knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. A decade later we sold out that venue as Savage Garden. In 2023 I'm playing that arena for the first time in 20 years. GRATEFUL.

Goodbye Australia - I had so much fun this trip. Besides living out my biggest fantasy ever at Mardi Gras, seeing my beautiful Mother, after Covid kept us apart for 3 years, was the highlight. She's magical. I already miss you, Mamma. This is us in Hawaii a few years ago.

Madonna 'fans' who criticize her for daring to continue to perform in her (gasp) 60's will apparently never age and are able to function at their peak physical ability for all eternity 🙄 Madonna DGAF what you think of her. She is LIVING her life. What are they doing? Watching.

I don't think it's possible to understand today just how courageous this was back then and how much of a risk Madonna took to her career by standing up for those living with HIV when she did. She was there when nobody was.

“I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of.” In 1992 (before effective treatment, before #UequalsU ) Madonna gave the best response to the false rumours that she was living with #HIV . What a champion! #FightHIVStigma

The thing about fame, especially for women, is the public expect you to look like you did when they first remembered you - never allowing you to age. It’s a lose lose. So be who you wanna be, Madonna.

I’m positive George Michael would be mortified by the ‘outtakes’ version of the ‘Fastlove’ video Sony just released. He was so particular about his image and especially how he was photographed. It bothers me how corporations stop respecting artist wishes when they pass. Cont.

The greatest love you will ever experience is to accept that you are enough completely by yourself, alone. Try being in love with you, first. Be kinder to yourself. Be your own Valentine. You'll radiate love and if that brings bees to the honey then that's all you, baby x

BREAKING (happy) NEWS: I was on a walk with my dog Hux and we walked past the pet store and I asked if he wanted a new toy and he pranced in there and walked directly to the plush squeaky animal he desired and carried that thing 2 miles home. He's now asleep, exhausted & happy.

The reality of being an independent artist is very challenging. I manage myself, I have my own label, hire publicists in 3 different countries, radio pluggers in 2, have a label person and a distributor. It's expensive & disheartening at times. The reward is artistic freedom.
