Olivia Newton-John’s nephew, Brett Goldsmith, has recalled how his late aunt once used a Cleopatra-themed wig to “disguise” herself from the paparazzi.

Following the announcement of Newton-John’s death on Monday, Goldsmith spoke to People about a moment in 1978 when he joined the singer on a tour in Paris. He said that, at the time, Newton-John would do anything she could to avoid the press and described it as so “intense [that] she couldn’t leave the hotel”.
