(WGHP) — Olivia Newton-John died at 73 on Monday morning at her home in California, according to her husband.
Newton-John died of breast cancer after a 30-year battle with the disease, TMZ reports.
The singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur and activist won four Grammys and had five No .1 hits and ten top-10 hits. She also had two No. 1 albums in the 1970s.
She is most well known for her role as Sandy Olsson in “Grease” and was passionate about the environment and animal rights.
Her husband released the following statement:
Dame Olivia Newton-John (73) passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends. We ask that everyone please respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.
Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer. Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made in her memory to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund.
Olivia is survived by her husband John Easterling; daughter Chloe Lattanzi; sister Sarah Newton-John; brother Toby Newton-John; nieces and nephews Tottie, Fiona and Brett Goldsmith; Emerson, Charlie, Zac, Jeremy, Randall, and Pierz Newton-John; Jude Newton-Stock, Layla Lee; Kira and Tasha Edelstein; and Brin and Valerie Hall.

It was amazing how beautiful she was when we first saw her on TV.
Met her on a few occasions she was always a joy to be around
It was a joint effort with Jeff Lynn of ELO, and the vinyl album is terrific.
Might have to go pull it out and spin it.
When she came on the scene she was fresh and natural.
So unlike the manufactured freaks that pass for entertainers today.
I’ll bet she was.
And she was also a cancer survivor who did not mope around and martyr out.
It’s really bad now. In so many ways.
The equivalent of knighthood for women.
Oh, yeah. The movie bombed big time, but the album was a smash hit. Go figure.

So gifted 😢 but she is not suffering anymore from the excruciating pain and the painful medical procedures she underwent ...Cancer is horrible ....RIP!
Because of the magic made when the combined musical talents of Jeff Lynne and ONJ merged and created something much greater than their sum.
Bob Dylan wrote it.
You must be one of his sock-puppet buddies, noob.
How’s Foggy these days?
Wow, so sad. Screen definitely getting blurry.
The voice of my youth . . .We were all enthralled by Grease in my high school days. She was such an angel always. Brings back memories of those good old days when life was so much simpler.
Will be tough to keep working this afternoon.

Great eighties singer. RIP
It’s like broad, but classier.
