KEEPING YOUR SAVINGS SHARP. IT'S SEVEN SHARP. NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN NZ. WE'RE AT HOME WITH THE BABY WHO NEARLY DIDN'T GO HOME. WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO WITH HER? I WAS THINKING OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING ` THOSE TERRIBLE THINGS. PLUS ` SO, APART FROM MUM, YOU'D NEVER SEEN A WHITE HORSE, EVER? NO. WHAT'S SO RARE ABOUT BEING THIS WHITE? THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE 12 GENES THAT HAVE TO ALIGN TO GET THAT TO HAPPEN. AND... WENT TO TOUCH IT, AND KICKED IT, AND HELLO IT'S A DOG BONE. IT'S GLOWING. WE'VE GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH SOMEONE OVER THIS. ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY IMOGEN STAINES AND JUNE YEOW. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2014 Mike Hosking will be oiling up on some tropical beach right now. When I was on the mountains, I thought he was on a beach somewhere. I saw you three months ago and you told me to watch out about kale in the teeth. Nothing like a bit of roughage. HERE'S WHAT CAUGHT OUR EYE TODAY ` THE TERROR THREAT TO NZERS HAS INCREASED SINCE A MONTH AGO, ACCORDING TO JOHN KEY. AND HE TODAY CONFIRMED HE'S GETTING ADVICE ON WHETHER TO SEND KIWI TROOPS TO FIGHT ISIS, IF ASKED. FAST FOOD DOESN'T JUST MAKE KIDS FAT ` IT CAN MAKE THEM STUPID TOO! AUSTRALIAN RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT BY AGE 17, CHILDREN WHO ATE A LOT OF JUNK FOOD HAD SLOWER REACTIONS AND WORSE MEMORY THAN THOSE WHO ATE HEALTHY FOOD. HERE'S ONE FOR JIM'S RAIN RADAR. LOOK AT THAT PRETTY BUTTERFLY SHAPE ` EXCEPT IT'S NOT RAIN. IT'S A GIANT SWARM OF ... BUTTERFLIES! Is it really a butterfly? MOST OF US CAN ONLY BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE HORROR; YOUR BABY SNATCHED FROM A HOSPITAL. INITIALLY, NO ONE KNOWS WHERE TO, OR HOW, OR BY WHO. BUT ONCE THE BABY'S RETURNED, AND THE TERROR SUBSIDES, NORMAL LIFE HAS TO RESUME. THAT'S REALITY FOR COENRAAD AND ELSJE PRETORIUS. AND TODAY, THEY LET GILL HIGGINS INTO THEIR HOME. 5 DAYS OLD AND GO WALKABOUT. IT WAS A BIT DIFFICULT. YEAH. 9 DAYS OLD, AND THIS IS NADINE'S FIRST WALK. NORMAL EVERYDAY THINGS ARE NOW AMAZING BECAUSE THIS LITTLE GIRL, THEIR THIRD DAUGHTER, WAS HARDER WORK FROM THE GET-GO. THIS BIRTH WAS DIFFICULT. THERE WERE COMPLICATIONS. SHE WAS NOT LYING CORRECTLY. IT WAS AN EMERGENCY CAESAREAN. THE OTHER TWO WERE JUST NORMAL. A BIT OF ROCKY START ALREADY. AND ONLY GOT ROCKIER. IN THAT MOMENT OF BIRTH, NOTHING ELSE MATTERED. IT'S A GIRL! WHEN YOU SEE HER YOU'RE JUST TOTALLY IN LOVE. BUT JUST DAYS LATER THAT BEING THEY LOVED SO MUCH WAS GONE ` STOLEN FROM THE HOSPITAL WARD. IT FEELS LIKE YOUR WHOLE WORLD WAS FALLING APART. FEELS LIKE IF THE WORST HAPPENS, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARRY ON EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE GOT TWO OTHER BEAUTIFUL GIRLS TO LIVE FOR. WHERE WE COME FROM, IT'S ALMOST CERTAIN YOU WON'T GET YOUR CHILD BACK. BUT THAT WAS SOUTH AFRICA. THERE THEY'D BEEN CARJACKED. THEY'D KNOWN PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED. HERE THEY SAY IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT STORY. WHEN I LEFT HOME JUST AFTER 9, I WAS GOING DOWN ON OMINISTOR. I PULLED OVER THE POLICE, AND SAID, 'CAN YOU ESCORT ME DOWN THE ROAD?' THEY ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT CAN ONLY HAVE BEEN FIVE MINUTES. THESE GUYS WERE SWITCHED ON. THEY SAID, 'IT'S NOT THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO. 'YOU ARE GOING TO GET HER BACK. WE'VE GOT WHOLE POLICE FORCE ON IT.' THE WORST TIME WAS THE FIRST HALF HOUR, MAYBE HOUR. THEN TO GET HER CALM AS SHE WAS CRYING THE WHOLE TIME THEN THEY CALMED HER DOWN WITH SOME PILLS. THEN THE PHONE RANG. THE MOST WONDRFUL FEELING WAS WHEN MY HUSBAND SHOWED ME THUMBS-UP. THAT WAS THE MOMENT. EVEN BETTER THAN WHEN I SAW HER FIRST. I KNEW SHE WAS ON HER WAY INTO MY ARMS AGAIN. THAT FIRST CONTACT WITH YOUR BABY IS HONESTLY HARD TO BEAT BUT... IT BEATS IT, I THINK. IT BEATS IT. I ALMOST HUGGED ALL THE COPS. WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED HAVING A BABY. WHAT A MIRACLE IT IS, OR WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'VE GOT TILL YOU ALMOST LOSE IT. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET THEM BACK? IT'S HORRIBLE. EIGHT HOURS IS LIKE 80 YEARS. THEY CAME HERE FROM SOUTH AFRICA FOR A BETTER LIFE. STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS. SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO APPRECIATE. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WOMAN WHO TOOK HER? WOULD YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH? YEAH, I THINK SO. I WISH I COULD HELP HER. IT'S A TOUGH THING TO EXPLAIN TO THEIR OTHER DAUGHTERS. THEY'RE STAYING WITH OTHER FAMILY AT THE MOMENT, COMING TO TERMS WITH THEIR BABY SISTER BEING TAKEN, THEN GIVEN BACK. THE LITTLE ONE IS HAPPY WITH THAT ALL DONE, BUT THE 11-YEAR-OLD HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS, IT'S NOW THE CALM AFTER THE STORM. THEY'RE THROUGH THE WORST, AND THEY CAN EVEN SEE A SILVER LINING. WHEN YOU LOSE SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY A CHILD, YOU ARE SO FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THEM BACK. YOU WILL LOVE THEM MORE. The relief they must be feeling. It actually must be the worst nightmare. As a mum, you steer the bassinet, wondering if they are breathing. It's an awful but amazing experience. They would have to step up security. COMING UP ON SEVEN SHARP ` I DON'T OFTEN SAY IT, BUT I'M SORRY FOR BEING A MAN. WONDER IF DAVID CUNLIFFE'S SORRY FOR ANYTHING ELSE? WE'VE HAD THOUSANDS OF FOALS BORN HERE AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. A WHITE SHOCK, BUT A WHITE DELIGHT. I DON'T DESCRIBE MANY HORSES AS BEAUTIFUL, BUT SHE REALLY IS. See this tablet?

Thank you, quad-core mummy-daddy-time-maker. LOUNGE MUSIC WELL, IS HE DEAD YET? POLITICALLY, THAT IS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DAVID CUNLIFFE. NOW, WE MAY KNOW THAT TOMORROW ` OR NOT. ONE THING'S CERTAIN ` HE'S NOT LOOKING WELL. TIM WILSON ROUNDS UP THE SUSPECTS IN THE BILLIARD ROOM. UPBEAT MUSIC A GRUESOME POLITICAL DEATH IN PUBLIC IN SLOW MOTION. I'VE TODAY DECIDED TO RESIGN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE LABOUR PARTY. TRANSLATION ` BOTH: THERE'S BEEN A MURDER. WHODUNNIT? OR IS DOING IT? THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. IS IT DOTCOM IN THE MANSION? YOU HAVE FAILED! IS IT NICKY IN THE LIBRARY? A FULL COMMISION OF INQUIRY. uS IT BACKSTABBING BY COLONEL CAUCUS? I S IT BACKSTABBING BY COLONEL CAUCUS? I CAN EXPLAIN. EXPLAIN? YOU'LL DO BETTER THAN EXPLAIN. WAS HE HUNG BY AN APOLOGY? I'M SORRY FOR BEING A MAN. WHAT'S CERTAIN IS THAT THE BEATING FROM JOSHING JOHN STARTED EVERYTHING. HASTA LA VISTA. TIME TO REVEAL THE CULPRIT. WhoSe decision was it to do the announcement outside a brothel? AMONG THE NEW ARRIVALS, ONE VERY LEGGY, VERY UNUSUAL LASS I don't think he realised it was a brothel. He is getting inspiration from Graham Henry. Graham Henry certainly didn't do it outside a brothel. IT IS SPRING, AFTER ALL. AMONG THE NEW ARRIVALS, ONE VERY LEGGY, VERY UNUSUAL LASS WITH A VERY SLIM CHANCE OF EVEN ARRIVING AT ALL. HERE'S MICHAEL HOLLAND. THEY ARE SIMPLY DELIGHTFUL. SPRING IN THE AIR; SPRING IN THEIR STEP. BUT BEYOND THE BOUNCING BAYS AND CHESTNUTS,... GAVE US A BIG SURPRISE ABOUT 2 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. ...THE VIVIDLY UNEXPECTED. WE'VE HAD THOUSANDS OF FOALS BORN HERE AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. GENETICALLY, TO BE A WHITE HORSE ` TO GET THE DOMINANT WHITE GENE, THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE 12 GENES THAT HAVE TO ALIGN TO GET THAT TO HAPPEN, SO ITS VERY VERY RARE. LOOK AT THE BUBBA. LOOK AT THE BUBBA. LOOK. NICE. YOU NEED HELP WITH A NAME? WELL, YOU WANT TO GIVE HER A TRY? WHAT ABOUT SNOWY? BECAUSE THAT'S PRETTY ORIGINAL? MUM'S NAMED OPERA HOUSE, AND WHILE SHE'S EQUALLY AS WHITE AS HER DRIVEN SNOW, HER PREVIOUS OFFSPRING HAVE BEEN ANYTHING BUT. SHE'D ALREADY HAD ONE FOAL THAT WAS BAY AND SHE FOALED US A NICE CHESTNUT COLT LAST YEAR. SO APART FROM MUM, YOU HAD NEVER SEEN A WHITE HORSE BEFORE? NO, NOT A THOROUGHBRED, NO. FOR THOROUGHBRED AFICIONADOS ` AND THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT ME ` DAD'S ONE OF AUSTRALASIA'S CHAMPION SIRES HIGH CHAPARRAL, AND GRANDAD'S THE LEGENDARY ZABEEL, SURELY THIS COUNTRY'S GREATEST EVER STALLION. OTHER THAN BEING A WHITE FOAL, SHE'S A REALLY STAND-OUT TYPE, AS WELL, YOU KNOW. I DON'T DESCRIBE MANY HORSES AS BEAUTIFUL, BUT SHE REALLY IS. SHE'S REALLY ATHLETIC AND EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD WANT IN A FILLY. OUR SHOWSTOPPERS, THOUGH, MAKING THOSE IN ADJOINING PADDOCKS MORE THAN JUST A LITTLE NERVY. THE OTHER HORSES GET A BIT FREAKED OUT ` THAT FIRST SIGHTING OF THIS BRIGHT WHITE DOUBLE TEAM COMING ALONG. THE MARE IN THIS PADDOCK WAS JUST HERE WITH HER FOAL. SHE NUDGED THE FOAL, AND SAID, 'I THINK WE HAD BETTER GET OUT OF HERE 'UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THIS IS, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE LIKE.' YOU HAVE GOT A LIFETIME OF BEING DIFFERENT, YOUNG LADY, BUT THAT IS NOT ALL THAT BAD, IS IT? DO YOU LIKE IT? YEAH, BUT WHEN IT GETS BIGGER IT'S MINE, EH. WHEN IT GETS BIGGER IT'S YOURS. SUNBURN? THE MARE HAS A SPECIAL RUG SHE WEARS, AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL HOOD SHE WEARS SO SHE DOESN'T GET SUNBURNED, AND THE FILLY WILL HAVE TO BE THE SAME. AS LONG AS THEY ARE MANAGED PROPERLY, EVERYTHING IS FINE. THE TEETH ARE SITTING RIGHT THERE, BUT THEY WILL BE OUT IN A FEW WEEKS. GUMMY GIRL? GUMMY GIRL AT THE MOMENT. BUT WHEN SHE'S GOT HER TEETH AND ALL GROWN UP, SHE'LL END UP, LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHER THOROUGHBRED RACING PROSPECTS, AT THE YEARLING SALES THE JANUARY AFTER NEXT, WHERE SHE'S GUARANTEED TO TURN HEADS AND HOPEFULLY RAISE THE HANDS OF BIDDERS. SHE IS ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE NOVELTY VALUE. SHE WILL LOOK GOOD GOING PAST THE WINNING POST. SHE WILL LOOK GOOD GOING PAST THE WINNING POST. THE WHITE STREAK? THE WHITE STREAK, YEAH. You can tell I am not a horsey person. I think it looks like a posh goat. Beautiful, still. Michael Holland, who gave us the story, tells us it is not an albino horse. NEXT ON SEVEN SHARP ` IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL. IT HASN'T EXPIRED YET. HM, NORMAL MIGHT BE PUSHING IT. BUT WHY IS THE DOG FOOD GLOWING? AND THE STRAIGHT-TALKING MADDEN BROTHERS' MESSAGE TO THEIR CRITICS. They are having a bad day. NOW, WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT DOG FOOD, BECAUSE IT'S GLOWING. IMAGINE IT. YOU CHUCK A COUPLE OF BONES IN FIDO'S BOWL AND THEY'RE LIT UP BLUE. HADYN JONES WENT TO SEE IF HE COULD SHED ANY LIGHT ON WHAT'S CAUSING IT. AT THE WALLIS FAMILY SAWMILL, THE FRIDGE HAS LUNCH, SOME MILK AND SOME GLOW-IN-THE-DARK DOG MEAT. IT JUST LOOKS PERFECTLY NORMAL. IT WAS BOUGHT SUNDAY WEEK AGO. IT WAS FED TO THE DOGS LAST THURSDAY. IT WAS IN A DARKENED ROOM, AND MY HUSBAND WAS CALLING OUT ABOUT THIS GLOWING BONE, AND I THOUGHT HE WAS LOSING THE PLOT TILL I HAD A LOOK AND THOUGHT, 'OH MY GOODNESS.' THE 'HE' IS ROBBIE THE HUSBAND. WENT TO TOUCH IT. KICKED IT, AND, HELLO, IT'S A DOG BONE AND IT'S GLOWING, REALLY GLOWING IN THE DARK. JUST ABOUT LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. THEY HAVE ACTUALLY TWO LOTS OF GLOW-IN-THE-DARK DOG MEAT. THE NEXT LOT WAS PURCHASED LAST WEDNESDAY. < YOU'VE GOT GLOW-IN-THE-DARK DOG MEAT. YES. < DO YOU FEEL LUCKY OR UNLUCKY? I'M NOT QUITE SURE ON THAT. TODAY THE GLOWING MEAT WAS FRONT-PAGE NEWS IN THE LOCAL PAPER. IT LOOKS BETTER USING A STILL CAMERA'S LONG EXPOSURE RATHER THAN ON VIDEO. THE DOG REFUSED TO EAT IT. NOW TYKE KNOWS HIS DOG MEAT HE WOULDN'T GO NEAR IT. THE GLOWING STUFF ` HE'S NOT QUITE SO KEEN ON. IN THE SAWMILL, ROBBIE'S GOT HIS THEORIES. BACTERIA IN IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT MAYBE. IT SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT OTHERWISE. LASTLY, THE DOG MEAT PEOPLE ARRIVED TO COLLECT THEIR GLOWING PRODUCT. THEY SPED OFF TO FIND A SOLUTION, LEAVING FIONA WITH SOME VOUCHERS... CERTAINLY PERPLEXING. YEAH. ...AND HER GRANDSON WITH A TOUCH OF CELEBRITY. HI, PEOPLE AT MY SCHOOL. I'M FAMOUS THROUGH THE NEWS. NOT A BAD RESULT, THEN, TILL THEY FIND OUT WHAT MAKES IT GLOW. More famous-er! THIS AFTERNOON WE SPOKE WITH JIMBO'S PET FOOD, WHO DISTRIBUTED THE GLOWING BONES. THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT. THEY'VE CONTACTED ALL THE STORES THAT RECEIVED THE PRODUCT AND DONE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. THEY ALSO SENT SAMPLES TO MICROBIOLOGIST DR SUZY WILES, WHO YOU MIGHT REMEMBER FROM OUR SHOW ON FRIDAY. AT THIS STAGE THE FEELING IS THE GLOW MAY BE CAUSED BY PHOSPHORESCENT BACTERIA FROM THE SEA. HOW IT GOT THERE, THOUGH, IS ANYONE'S GUESS. Used to be a day we'd eat anything. NOW, IF WE SAY 'THE MADDEN BROTHERS', DO YOU KNOW WHO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT IF WE SAID 'THE TWINS FROM GOOD CHARLOTTE, 'ONE OF WHOM IS A JUDGE ON THE VOICE?' You didn't even know the song. AS EMMA KEELING FOUND OUT, DESPITE BEING A PAIR SINCE THE WOMB, THEY'RE STILL NOT SICK OF EACH OTHER. THE MADDEN BROTHERS ARE VERY ROCK AND ROLL, BUT COFFEE WAS THE BEST OPTION AT 10AM. HOWEVER, IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY FOR SIBLING RIVALRY. WHAT ANNOYS YOU THE MOST ABOUT EACH OTHER? HE'S PRETTY BOSSY. HE'S LATE A LOT. THAT'S PROBABLY IT. BENJI COULD PROBABLY SAY THAT I'M SELFISH. I WASN'T GOING TO SAY THAT. BENJI IS FIVE MINUTES OLDER THAN JOEL. JOEL THINKS HE'S A SUPERSTAR. I ACTUALLY DON'T. I DON'T THINK I'M A SUPERSTAR. I JUST DO THINGS MY WAY. EVERYONE ELSE CAN JUST` NO, THAT'S NOT IT. I THINK I'VE JUST STARTED SOMETHING. THIS IS GREAT. IT'S LIKE THERAPY. THANKS FOR THAT. APPRECIATE IT. NEVER FORGET YOU. GREAT START (!) LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM. THE ALBUM DOES HAVE THAT NOSTALGIC FEEL, LIKE A LOVE LETTER TO CALIFORNIA. I'M GLAD PEOPLE GET THAT, COS THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. THEIR FIRST SINGLE 'WE ARE DONE' HAS BEEN A WORLD WIDE HIT. AS WRITERS AND ARTISTS THERE WERE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO AND DIDN'T FEEL WE COULD DO ` GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA WE COULDN'T CALL IT A 'GOOD CHARLOTTE' RECORD. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT, YOU CAN SENSE THAT. YOU GET THAT IT'S DIFFERENT. VERY DIFFERENT. THE BROTHER'S STARTED PUNK POP BAND GOOD CHARLOTTE IN THEIR TEENS. JUMP FORWARD 10 YEARS AND JOEL FOUND A NEW AUDIENCE IN 2012 AS A JUDGE ON AUSTRALIA'S 'THE VOICE'. WELCOME TO 'THE VOICE.' HAS THAT CHANGED HOW YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF OR HOW YOU LOOK AT YOUR MUSIC? YEAH. IT MAKES YOU QUESTION WHAT'S YOUR PURPOSE. IS IT TO PERFORM OR IS TO DO SOMETHING ELSE? IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING JOURNEY. BENJI JOINED JOEL AS A MENTOR ON THE VOICE FOR KIDS. IT HELPED DEVELOP THEIR NEW SOUND. JOEL DOING 'THE VOICE' AND ME DOING 'THE VOICE KIDS', AND BEING A PART OF THAT REALLY REALLY MAINSTREAM... LIKE, IN THE LIVING ROOMS OF PEOPLE HAS MADE US GO BACK TO THE MUSIC THAT WE REMEMBER FIRST HEARING AS KIDS. IN OUR LIVING ROOM. THAT INFLUENCED THIS RECORD SO MUCH ` THE BEACH BOYS, THE EAGLES. I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO LAY ON THE FLOOR, ON THE CARPET, AND HEAR THAT ON VINYL. SO WHEN WE WERE MAKING THIS RECORD, THAT WAS ALL PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. AFTER THE ROUGH START TO OUR CHAT, I'M PLEASED TO FINISH ON A HAPPY NOTE. THE SINGLE 'WE ARE DONE' HAS GONE PLATINUM IN NZ. IT WENT DOUBLE PLATINUM. > THIS IS AWESOME. THIS IS THE FIRST PLAQUE ON THE RECORD THAT WE'VE GOTTEN. ACTUALLY, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING. ON OUR FIRST ALBUM... THE FIRST PLAQUE WE GOT WAS IN NZ. ...WITH GOOD CHARLOTTE. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED. THEY'RE FAMILY MEN NOW. WHICH IS WHY WE'RE PARTYING ON COFFEE AND GELATO. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT NZ WAS KNOWN FOR THE GELATO. WE'RE GETTING THERE. > THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. THAT'S AMAZING. ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TOUR? > BOTH: YEAH. YEAH. IT'S GONNA BE GREAT. ARE THE FAMILIES GOING TO BE ON BOARD WITH YOU? PROBABLY NOT DOWN HERE. IN AMERICA THEY WILL. IT'S KINDA FUN COS WE HAVE A BUS AND THEY LIKE THE TOUR BUS. IT'S COOL. That's my kind of party. Joel is the coolest judge on the voice. THE MADDEN BROTHERS WILL BE BACK IN NZ FOR ONE SHOW ONLY ON NOVEMBER 4TH, AND YOU CAN CATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW WITH THEM ON OUR WEBSITE. I HAVE AN EXTREMELY SAD UPDATE TO FINISH ON TONIGHT. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER A STORY MICHAEL HOLLAND DID BACK IN MAY ON A YOUNG WOMAN CALLED VIVIAN WHO WAS BATTLING BOWEL CANCER. SHE WAS THE MUM WHO WROTE THE SONG 'DEAR SOPHIE' FOR HER DAUGHTER, SO REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CANCER, HER LITTLE GIRL WOULD KNOW SHE WASN'T ALONE. # TAKE IT ONE STEP BACK. # DOING ALL I CAN TO STAY. # EVERYTHING I WANT TO SAY TO MY DAUGHTER. TO FURTHER DEMONSTRATE HER INCREDIBLE RESOLVE, JUST LAST WEEK, MICHAEL HOLLAND WENT TO VISIT VIVIAN AT THE WHANGAPAROA HOSPICE, BECAUSE SHE WANTED US TO RECORD HER READING THE BOOK 'THE HUNGRY CATERPILLAR' SO SOPHIE COULD ALWAYS HAVE THAT. TODAY WE'VE LEARNT THAT AT JUST 21, VIVIAN HAS PASSED AWAY. SO OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH HER HUSBAND JACK AND THEIR WEE GIRL TONIGHT. AND FINALLY TONIGHT. I'VE BEEN OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW MONTHS AND HAD A WHOLE LOT OF MAIL WAITING FOR ME UPON MY RETURN HOME. BUT OF ALL THE BILLS AND BANK STATEMENTS AND FREE DISHWASHING DETERGENT SAMPLES, THIS IS THE MOST UNNECESSARY. IT'S THE BACK BIT OF 2014, PEOPLE. MOST OF US, MOST OF US.
