Olivia Newton-John died "peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends," according to an Instagram post shared by her family. She was 73.
"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."
The Australian singer was known just as much for her top hits, including "Physical" and "You're the One That I Want," as she was for her starring role alongside John Travolta in the classic film, "Grease."

Thank you for your service.
So sad. She was one of the most beautiful women I ever saw. Great voice and didn’t seem like a show biz train wreck. RIP.

I feel so old. RIP, Olivia.
You know what is bizarre was a news item about half a year ago that for the last 10 years Olivia was the number 1 name for baby girls in Ontario where I live. She had an impact.
RIP Always my girlfriend. (wishful thinking) 😢

One of my earliest crushes as a young lad. Farewell, Olivia Newton-John.
Dwmn. A bad day in the world just got worse.
“Grease” was smash hit.
When the Hollywood producers purchased the rights to the successful play, the screenwriters produced a script that bore minimal resemblance to the original material. The play was set at the fictional “Rydell High School” which was modeled upon Taft High School in Chicago where many of the authors had attended school. Virtually none of that material made it on to the big screen which was all Southern California.
RIP
R.I.P.
I had saved up that name for my own baby girl since 1980 when I was 12 years old. . .finally got to use it in 2005.
Yup. There you go!
