RIP Olivia Newton John


Battled cancer for years.

Had a great voice.

That’s awful.
We just watched Grease a couple of nights ago and she’s great in it, I had no idea she was sick.

reply

She had cancer on and off since the 90's.

One hell of a strong woman to have warded it off so many times already.

reply

Yeah, I just told my wife and her sister this and they were bummed. They were both aware she had been sick for a long time.

That's something that people don't understand about cancer. With modern treatments, a person can spend *years*, or DECADES... living the life of a cancer patient!

And apparently that's what poor Olivia went through, she had breast cancer, it recurred at least once, and I vaguely recall hearing about the second or third recurrence more than 10 years ago. And for all she went through, the cancer won in the end.

RIP.

Extremely sad news

reply

Such a sad news.
Angel voice, beautiful and from the interviews a woman with a golden heart.
Grease is my favorite musical of all time, I will never forget her as Sandy, another part from the 'soundtrack' of our life is gone.

RIP Olivia

Yes, Grease is really good, it’s one of the very few musicals that most people seem to enjoy

reply

I noticed this phenomenon. I always wonder why exactly, I know why I loved it, but not sure what makes Grease such a universally loved even by people who didn't like musicals. Worth a thought.

reply

Hard to believe it was made 44 years ago.

RIP, Olivia

One of the biggest pieces of shit that passes for a good movie I've ever seen.

Damn! This news feels like the end of an era or something. So sad.
