Singer Olivia Newton-John, who soared to the top of the world's pop music charts in the 1970s and 1980s with such tunes as 'I Honestly Love You' and 'Physical' and starred in the hit movie musical 'Grease,' died on Monday at age 73 at her home in Southern California.
Singer Olivia Newton-John, who soared to the top of the world's pop music charts in the 1970s and 1980s with such tunes as"I Honestly Love You" and"Physical" and starred in the hit movie musical"Grease," died on Monday at age 73 at her home in Southern California.
Newton-John, a four-time Grammy winner, had disclosed in 2017 that a recurrence of breast cancer had metastasized and spread to her lower back, forcing her to cancel performances. Twenty-five years earlier Newton-John had undergone a partial mastectomy, leading her to become an advocate for breast cancer research and other health issues and to establish a cancer treatment-research facility in Australia.
It would be followed in the next few years by"Let Me Be There," which won her a Grammy for best female country vocal performance,"If You Love Me " and two No. 1 songs,"Have You Never Been Mellow" and"I Honestly Love You." The latter song won Grammys for best female pop performance and record of the year.
