The 66-year-old four-time Grammy Award winner was close to selling the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in the Jupiter Inlet Colony in Palm Beach to comedienne Rosie O’Donnell soon after it was listed.

But, Christopher Pariseleti, a 41-year-old contractor, committed suicide on the property and O’Donnell pulled out.

Newton-John reportedly held an exorcism with a Catholic priest at the house, but still has been unable to attract a buyer.

The singer bought the 511 square metre home, which has lagoon pool and dock for a 24m yacht, in May 2009 for $US4.1 million and spent $US2 million on a renovation.
