Sad news indeed. From her iconic Grease role to her music she made a big impact.
RIP Olivia

Oh No, awful news to hear this morning. RIP Olivia Newton John
She was as talented and kind as she was beautiful. Country music, pop, acting, all such successes.
The Olivia Newton John wellness & research Centre at the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg Melbourne Australia was started in 2012 and grew in stages over time to the amazing centre it is today looking after patients at all stages of their illness. Olivia worked to raise funds, used her name to promote and make that centre happen and continued to promote and raise funds for it every year. Patients would often get a visit from her making their day.
Every year she was involved in the walkathon to raise money for the centre. One year (2016) she wasn't well enough to walk so she stood at the overpass at the walk so she could wave to all the walkers as they passed by. This shows what a strong and generous person she was.
Apparently she used to sign off her correspondence with 'Love and Light' so 'Love and Light' to you Olivia.

Very inspiring. She could have all too easily disappeared from the publics gaze and enjoyed her life in comfort, but instead chose to help others year in year out. Says a lot. RIP Olivia

What can be said that hasn't already - R.I.P Olivia Newton John - you were an inspiration to actors and singers and were well loved by fans! A great and worthwhile musical career as well as being a professional singer - a lovely caring and selfless lady too, despite fighting her bad health for so long. She will be missed by her fans and fellow entertainment industry friends alike.
