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
Yes, it's depressing, but Keith lives on. WTH?
Big Loss. RIP
I remember as a big ELO fan back then, I didn’t particularly care for them being on that song.
And Mick is still Mick at 79, has the energy of guys half his age.
Judith Durham was one of my all-time favorites. Her voice was magnificent. Pure. The Seekers produced some great songs. Durham was the centerpiece. Durham is getting a state funeral. Beloved in Australia.
A truly beautiful lady and singer. She made so many good songs but my favorite is “If Not For You” for my Hubby but her recording with Cliff Richard of “Suddenly” and John Denver with “Fly Away” really takes me back to some good times.RIP Lovely Lady
Oh man. My teen crush.
RIP
Somebody once said, “When God made Olivia Newton-John he was just showing off.”
The movie soundtrack was Jeff Lynne’s music.
When (if?) Keith Richards finally passes, nobody’s going to believe it.
I know, that’s when they did that Discovery album, that I didn’t care for neither.
But “Time” was a great album.
Weren't they the rock band with the swing band at the end?
I knew I was weird when as a kid I prefered good girl Sandy to the bad girl version.
We have to start thinking about what kind of world we’re going to leave for Keith Richards.
Although apparently he did quit smoking two years ago. So he probably just added another ten years.
Yep.
They were "White punks on dope".
Judith Durham, David Muse (of Firefall) make three celebs in the last two days. Our heroes and memory makers are leaving us fast. Rest In Peace, beautiful and talented lady and thanks for the memories.
Same here. Plus I despised the Travolta character.
Oh, no. Another one lost. Another contemporary.
I thought her vocal harmony with John Denver on “Fly Away” was great.
Very pretty girl.
Damn.
