[@kennethdodemaide8678]

What a horrible week.Nothing could be sadder. Olivia was more than an Australian icon. She was a HERO who spent much of her life supporting those with cancer and raising funds ($100 million) for the Cancer wellness centre in Melbourne and went on to establish one in the U.S. Thank you for this perfect choice as it was her favourite. John Travolta posted a beautiful tribute to her. All of Australia is in grief. Thank you Olivia, Australia is so proud of you. RIP.

She was our Princess Diana some might say 🥲

I totally agree with everything that you wrote, well done. Australis’s sweetheart

[@rquin0268]

Well said from Colorado! What a beautiful soul and a beautiful person. RIP beautiful angel. ❤️💜

Australia is grieving hard :( Our hearts are aching

[@lavishka82]

We're all in mourning here in Australia. Such a strong and courageous woman who fought cancer right to the end. May she rest peacefully. What a legacy. What a human. I feel like a piece of australia has died

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Woke up to it. Shattered big time. 🇦🇺

[@sandidean6388]

Deepest condolences

[@SueProv]

I live on NY and I get a couple of Australia feeds. I saw the tribute Karl and Allie did and her friend whose name I can't remember. I got some tears. I think pur equivalent would be Dolly Parton. I really loved her on multiple levels. God bless her loved ones and those who loved her.

[@martyb2187]

Well said Lavishka. She was such a beautiful person and a huge part of our lives growing up. Always a wonderful ambassador for our country and a great role model for women everywhere. So sad.

Tough week or so as an aussie losing Olivia, Judith Durham and Archie Roach.

I can’t even watch this, I’m grieving and in pain. I’ll catch it when I’m not heartbroken 💔

[@cherylb309]

Sad news to hear of the loss of Judith Durham & Olivia Newton-John both ions 💔💔😢

[@Sincopare]

Olivia was perfection. I don't think people these days don't understand how big superstars like ONJ were back in the day. Plus, every teenage boy had a crush on her from 75-82.

You ain't lying brother

[@BayAreaSon]

I was one of those teenage boys .I wanted to go to Australia to find her.

[@kjdavis1]

In the space of four days we lost both Livvy and Judith Durham (of the Seekers). Not the best of weeks.

[@roslynjonsson2383]

Aussie here, and what a HORRIBLE week we've had - 1st Archie Roach, then Judith Durham, and now Olivia....Im 56 and grew up with Olivia as a teenagerl. What a pure loving soul she was, and one heck of a lady. We're so proud to call you Australian Olivia, and we will love you always. RIP lady with the voice of an Angel Olivia Newton John, and hugs to all who also have tears running down their faces right now xox

[@larissahorne9991]

As of yesterday they're talking about giving Judith a State Funeral and at least 90 people want to be part of a Tribute for her. I wonder what they'll do for Olivia?

[@roslynjonsson2383]

@@larissahorne9991 All 3 of them need to be remembered in very special ways. I was thrilled yesterday when I heard Judiths family accepted the state funeral, because she was such a huge part of our lives. I would imagine that Olivia's service will be in the US, where her husband and Chloe are, but I'm sure we'll have a very special tribute / service here for Olivia, and I would expect quite a few statues would be / should be erected around Olivia's cancer foundations.

[@JoSedunary]

It was already a tough one... and just got so much tougher... Thank you Dominic for shining a light on our Australian artists so that more people around the world got to know living angels like our Livvie.... The fact that you have already showcased her, Judith and Archie is very much appreciated from all of us down under...

[@JoSedunary]

@@larissahorne9991 They offered the family the same for Olivia - bit trickier with her being overseas when it happened, but the fact they offered it will make the family happy I'm sure.

[@thomastimlin1724]

My Heart goes out to her family, and to Australia this week. Judith Durham's passing away breaks my heart equally, [in the USA we really didn't know who Archie Roach was]. I grew up with these two singers on the radio and TV. I'm 66. I was a music teacher. Both singers had musical class, knowing when to sing soft and when to uplift, turn up the volume. It's called interpretive singing, and not just vocally showing off like some pop divas do [that stuff makes me yawn...oh brother here we go again]. Because they knew it was about the song, not them, it was intuitive. As for both ladies and their bravery facing their own illnesses, and others, their kindness and charity, they are irreplaceable, set the example in life for the world, and lived their lives in grace and dignity, something sorely lacking in today's world. in a previous world we loved both ladies here in the USA, and you all loved Karen Carpenter...it doesn't get any better than that.

[@airbrushpower]

Delta Goodrem played her in her Biopic Mini series!

[@mrmockatoo6786]

Very sad week for us Aussies who grew up with The Seekers, Archie Roach and the beautiful Olivia who - among many accomplishments - was a champion for women suffering from breast cancer. I read that she didn't rate herself as a singer, particularly after several surgical procedures and had to be convinced to join John Farnham and Anthony Warlow on a concert tour of Oz. All three blitzed it with humour, respect and red hot talent. RIP Judith, Archie and Olivia.

[@primategaberocco]

This giant, also helped build the Olivia Newton John Cancer Hospital, a public hospital for cancer patients. To receive Rolls Royce cancer treatment, in beautiful first class suites, polished floor boards, indoor gardens, beautiful soothing art pieces. All for the common, everyday soul battling this curse we call Cancer. She truly was a beautiful soul, one should emulate. RIP you giant Olivia. 🥃😎

[@TheDivayenta]

This made me weep.

[@primategaberocco]

@@TheDivayenta She was truly beautiful. Just pure. 👍

[@westy4973]

Medicinal cannabis kept her alive. A disgrace our government has laws against people growing it when it's so good for so many issues and far less toxic than alcohol or cigarettes. Rip to our Aussie Queen 👑

[@KylieWillison]

Nic go back and have a look at your reaction to John Farnham and Olivia's 'Please Don't Ask Me'. It is one of my favourite reactions of yours. It was the first video I listened to after I heard the news this morning.

[@judithhobson5868]

rip olivia,on behalf of all cancer sufferers

[@popland1977]

She was so underrated as a legitimate vocalist

[@richardfox1605]

Listen to Have You Never Been Mellow it's my personal favorite by her and is not a love song but is still just gorgeous

[@theghost6412]

This was written by a bloke named John Farrar, he is an Aussie singer and songwriter. He wrote a bunch of Number 1 hits for various people. This one he wrote for Olivia for the Grease album. My heart breaks for her family and freinds. This will be yet another big hit to John Farnham as well. Now she is no longer in pain and finally at rest. RIP Olivia Newton-John.

[@trensshawndy9595]

Grease is hands down my favorite musical ever !!! And Olivia Newton John is a national treasure. I love her.. RIH Queen..now please protect John Travolta at all cost. She was soooo classy and beautiful..her spirit shined 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗

[@NeilBlanco]

Gutted! I met her by chance back in 1992 in Nimbin of all places. She was there in a fish and chips shop with her then husband Matt and their daughter who was about 10 years old. She was even more beautiful in real life than in pictures and really sweet and lovely. When she saw we recognised her she smiled and waved to us. So sad... 😪

[@meni8015]

Such a beautiful memory for you. It's been a very sad week.

[@thomastimlin1724]

You're the lucky one!

[@karlenemacdonald6549]

Only in Nimbin could you have a random experience like that.....

Olivia and Judith two angels, fly high!

[@HMAP792]

Any money you do get you always give to her Olivia Newton-John Foundation. It raises money for cancer in Australia. There is a foundation in Melbourne-Australia that helps cancer suffers with other wellness treatments. Ie: massage.

[@clearly_james7282]

React to her performance with Mariah Carey singing this same song it’s so heartwarming

[@jilliantaylor5122]

In my opinion, she is the greatest singer of all time. She has been my idol since 1973, when Let Me Be There hit the radio waves when I was just 4. Love at first note. It was her first huge international hit, and her first top ten hit in the US. I am so heartbroken by her passing, I will forever be Hopelessly Devoted To Her. I am so thankful that I got to meet her in person over a dozen times. She’s everything you would except and more. Olivia, I Honestly Love You. ❤

Ive been given 2 days to a week for my beautiful mother to pass away, she has Dementia & Alzheimer's. Both my parents came to Australia from Liverpool, both knew the Beatles, John Lennon liked my Mum but Dad won her heart. 60 years married this October. They had a great life as did Olivia. Its sad to watch someone suffer before they go. RIP Olivia.

I lost my mum to leukaemia when I was 20. I watched her decline for nearly 2yrs and it was hell. Two weeks before the birth of my son she lost the battle. MacisBack it's tough, a bloody tough time to go through. I feel your pain. Stay strong, you can do it even if you think you can't. You are not alone in this journey. There's many walking in your shoes. Sadly life can be cruel. Sending you love, a big hug and take care of yourself mentally as well 🙏🌹❤

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Underrated? Nah, my friend. Not to those of us who were there during her time. Her physical beauty was only matched by her angelic voice and her brave battle over the past few decades of her life. THANKS FOR THE MUSIC, MOVIES AND MEMORIES, OLVIA. RIP, QUEEN.❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Such sad news about Olivia's passing. She was only 73 & bravely fought cancer for nearly 3 decades. Olivia had so many great songs such as "I Honestly Love You", "Physical", "If Not for You", "Let Me Be There", "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)", "Have You Never Been Mellow", "Xanadu" etc. She starred with John Travolta in the movie "Grease" in 1978 & they had some great songs together "You're the One That I Want" & "Summer Nights". "Hopelessly Devoted" is also from "Grease".

[@rhrh2025]

Respect to you! You talk with intelligence and honesty, and I like that! Olivia was a massive talent! I never looked at her as being a movie star, because it was her singing that placed her in a few films.... with John Travolta's help! This recording was in the 70s for sure; and probably the mid to late 70s! An HBO Special that she did in Austin, Texas in the early 80s definatly needs to be checked out! There was no autotune, or gimmicks back then, and she nailed it for 2 hours!

[@AnnaMarie66]

Her version of “He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother” is SO BEAUTIFUL too!🥰🥺

[@phillipabowe435]

She was one of the first cross over artists from country to pop. She won four Grammys in the 70s for country music, beating Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn in her vocal category. Basically she was pushed out of country music by the traditionalist cause she wasn't from country USA. Didn't stop her. 1979 massive hit with Grease, Xanadu and ELO in 1980 and Let's get Physical in 1981. 1992 first diagnosed with cancer. In the next 30 years she devoted her time and resources to fighter cancer and building a world renown medical facility in Melbourne Australia. She absolutely has left her mark on so many people and not just musically. RIP Olivia and thank you ❤️

[@lflagr]

I love how everyone has the same reaction once the chorus hits and her voice just soars through the key change with no effort. Such effortless talent, and yes, she does it the whole time with the smile! RIP Olivia.
