AceShowbiz - Olivia Newton-John has claimed that she is regularly haunted the ghosts of celebrity friends that have passed away.

The singer made the comments in her new memoirs "Don't Stop Believin'", and suggested that her late famous pals - including John Denver and Karen Carpenter - hover around her while she's performing and act as her spirit guides to ensure her shows always go without a hitch.

"I often feel as if they hover around me when I perform," the 70-year-old said. "They are my spirit guides who I ask to support me before every show and they keep me strong."

"They're gone, but their love never dies."

The "Grease" actress, who is currently battling cancer for the third time, revealed that she has a number of ghostly companions, which also include a friend's daughter who died as a child, along with other family members.

"She has been with me ever since (she passed away), along with my parents (and) my sister," she confessed.

The star also opened up about the moment that she heard the news that close friend Karen has passed away, the day before the duo were set to meet for a catch-up.

Olivia said that she was in Los Angeles listening to the radio in the car when she heard the sad news that the "Please Mr. Postman" songstress had died from heart failure, caused by her much-publicised battle with eating disorder anorexia.

"It was as if the sky fell to Earth," the "You're the One That I Want" singer reflected. "My stomach hit the ground."
