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 (ONJFoundationFund.org). 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. - via John Easterling, husband, Olivia Newton-John
She had, next to Farrah, the most glorious smile of the 70’s...and her music just made me feel happy. RIP.
What was the deal with her being missing about 5-10 years ago ..then it seem like she just turned up
..and I never heard what happened...if anything?
Being in your 70s seems to be dangerous of late.
Has anyone ever better fit the term vivacious? She will be missed.
I'm starting to lean in that direction. I just checked out her WIKIPEDIA article and they still have her as alive.
If Olivia truly died, it will be the first time that the Wikipedia article did not have the death posted before the news broke. At least in my experience.
I know we all like to dump on Wikipedia and it really is politically slanted to the Left. But they are pretty good about keeping their articles updated to the minute..
She was quite a dame!
RIP Olivia.
SO SO sad! Her song “Magic” was magic to me. I couldn’t listen to it enough time.
Rest in peace ONJ!
RIP sweet song bird.
We get a county newspaper once a week with a page of obits and it’s interesting how many of the folks are younger than I am.
People have said almost all that should be said.
I’ll just add: Class.
They have her as dead now. That’s from her official FB page.
Didn’t she have cancer at one point?
I thought she had survived breast cancer.

She's dead, Jim.
Yes, the news feeds are exploding now. Reminds me of the day Elvis died. Elvis also died on a hot August afternoon albeit many years ago.
The first time I saw her was on the Smothers Brothers TV show in 1975. I thought she was the prettiest, most musically talented woman I had ever seen. RIP.
First hit was a cover of a Dylan song.
Her husband went missing in Mexico..................
