Olivia Newton-John, the Australian singer whose breathy voice and wholesome beauty made her one of the biggest pop stars of the '70s and charmed generations of viewers in the blockbuster movie "Grease," died on Monday, according to a statement from her husband. She was 73.

We ask that everyone please respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time," her husband, John Easterling, wrote in a statement on the singer's verified Instagram account.

My husband wanted to watch ‘Grease’ the night we heard. I think just about every boy of his generation had a crush on her...

Dang, that poor old lady died a couple days ago.
What, you resurrected her and made her die again?

Sick, dude.

Oh, ya! Between Olivia and Farrah Fawcett, that was a tough decision as to who I had a greater crush on, as a teen.

Joy Behar won out! </sarc> (at least that last bit!)

I used to be in love with Olivia Newton John. It’s kind of creepy as I strongly suspect I married my wife because she looked like Olivia Newton John.

She did sing "Physical" so we had to kill her again.

Most of her other songs were good though. RIP Olivia Newton John who starred with John Travolta in that one movie I can't remember.

I know I sure did. My room was wallpapered with posters of her.
