Probably the nicest famous person. Never a bad word about her from anyone. No scandals. No attitude, no ego. Just pure love and positivity.
Yes. I would've enjoyed another 20 or more years of ONJ. She was just lovely in every way a person could be.
She's an Australian and they are SUPER nice..down to earth.
...and also the most beautiful woman ever lived.
@@Trawizz1 and talented, nice and warm. A gem, really 💎
There were actually bad words about her for how she took advantage of Bruce Welch to get famous, regardless we still love her..
Still heartbroken over her passing. Olivia is truly love and light…and always will be.
Me too
Me to 😔💔
She is truly in a much better place, more befitting of her own loveliness.
She may be gone, but her heart, love, and talents will live on forever and ever. RIP Olivia ❤️❤️❤️
Olivia's passing was one of the hard ones for me. I loved her so much. Still can't believe she's gone.
Me to.
Agree lovely person 👍
Grew up with Olivia Newton John I was heartbroken 😢 forever in our hearts never forgotten 🙏❤️
I'm 56 and have loved Olivia since I was a little girl. I'm so glad I saw her perform the day before her birthday in 2002. It was magical... she was pure light, love, and JOY! 😇
Moi aussi mon premier concert j’avais 12 ans en 1981 ❤
Gosh I still can’t believe she’s gone, what an amazing human being. It’s hard to comprehend that she’s no longer with us. What a legacy! She radiated love and light forever xx ❤
Australia has never been willing to give Olivia up. She has always been and always will be Australia's daughter and embodied everything that is good about this country.
we love her too ... US/AU
@@piscesloveempress I'm Australian and I appreciate that the USA loved Olivia as one of their own as well.
She was English tho , she was born in the UK
@@tur74d56 so were most of us.
@@tur74d56 , she became an Australian citizen. She was a world treasure!
The love and light never goes away! Long live Olivia's beautiful spirit! ❤
The pain in their voices say they are still in mourning for this beautiful soul named Olivia Newton John….Much prayers to all her loved ones!
To the family of Olivia....Olivia was a beautiful, radiant ray of light that brought so much talent,love, compassion and kindness to so many people. We need much more compassion and kindness in this world! Her voice was angelic! Watching this video I can feel the strong connection that Olivia shared with her family! So important to have that love and support and you have shared it with us! I was deeply moved! Thank you for that! Let your memories and love for Olivia help you through the difficult times! Good Luck as you continue Olivia's quest for cancer research! Praying for all of you!❤🙏
Years ago they were saying Olivia husband ( her widow went missing. Some even claim she did something to Him to collect insurance money. Then suddenly he came back , him holding Olivia daughter hand tight doesn't look right. She's a grow woman to be holding his hand.
That wasn't this guy.
So lucky to have grown up idolizing someone like Olivia. She was an incredible performer and human being. May she always rest in the sweetest peace. Sending love to her family! ❤️
Good choice. She was not only genuinely talented, picked excellent songs, but also one of a kind. A class act. Stay classy, Randi, and never pander to the mob.
I was lucky enough to have met Olivia in person after one of her concerts in Australia. A beautiful voice and a beautiful person. She actually did have a radiance about her that just shone, she will always be loved.
Thank you for sharing. I’m glad she worked with another gentle soul, in John Travolta. I’ve never heard an unkind word about either of them. That is quite a legacy.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied Yes, so very true xx
Thank god for UA-cam because I wouldn't have been able to see this in the UK. I have had the wonderful experience to spend a little bit of time alone with her & she was so lovely to me - it was a real dream come true moment for me. She also chose me to speak about losing my partner & my mum in the same week during her LIV ON concert in London. I had always hoped I would get the chance to let her know how much her Grace & Gratitude album helped me at the time especially the track Love Is Letting Go Of Fear which became like a personal anthem for me (it still is). I had heard afterwards through social media that she had been touched by what I had said & indeed when she did a live radio interview the next morning, she told my story. She really was as lovely as you dared imagine, she was one in a million. She is so missed the world over. ❤
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Olivia was a class act in every sense. A super talented artist who never forgot where she came from, remained humble and grounded and most important of all she reached out to help others, especially women who had travelled a similar journey to her fighting breast cancer. You will live in many peoples hearts forever Olivia.
This interview is beautiful. Olivia was such a force. I will always miss her. She helped me thru a difficult time with her kindness. She gave me a dozen pink roses ! She gives me strength through her music to face my hardest health challenges. We had several moments we connected. And I appreciated the thank you card she sent me after I gave her a gift. Much love to her family. This made me tear up a bit. I pray for continued healing. My mom passed in 2020 and I am still healing and missing her but I am here living my life and hopefully making her proud .
Thank you for sharing your memories. I am sorry for your loss and pray you will find comfort. I am sure your mother is very proud, you have faced your challenges and sound like a wonderful and compassionate person. May God bless you and yours!
@@deeeliades3426 thank you ! That is so sweet!
-my mom passed away when i was 15-
-years old and my dad 10 years ago-
@@sunnystormy4973 I'm sorry for your loss
@charmsbratt
-thank you.. likewise-
grew up with her in Grease and Xanadu -- her music is timeless -- we all had the biggest crush on her -- there was never a scandal, nothing negative about her -- she never made the press for the wrong reasons - she stayed out of trouble - she realized her voice was a gift -- she had the most amazing friends, a marriage in her later years 15 years and John seems like a good person - she truly lived the life with a blessing and now she is in heaven brighten the souls of the angels with her voice for all eternity -
I had a very strong and loving relationship with my stepfather. I never called him step. I hated that word. He raised me and he was my father. I called him my Poppa.
So when I saw Chloe and John holding hands I thought of having a strong relationship as Step Daughter and Father. A sign of support and love. Just like the relationship I had with mine. He passed 21 years ago and I miss him like it was yesterday.
They're both going through an enormous loss and getting through that loss together is therapeutic for them. They understand each other as they lose the most important person in their lives.
Back when I was a teenager in Thailand, I had these cassettes of Olivia Newton John that I would listen to over and over. I might not understand English much back then, but somehow, her angelic voice uplifted my mood. There is something in her voice that brought not just beautiful tunes to my ears but also positive images in my head.
I want to thank Olivia Newton John for all the beautiful things she had given to this world. May she rest in peace.
She was such a great, generous, graceful and marvelous singer. She was pure beauty and kindness. A model for many people. I love her.
I love Greese, it is one of family favourites. We would always get up sing and dance to all the music. She was a beautiful person with a beautiful voice. She is one of my icons when it comes to music! She will always be a legend in my eyes!
Grease is the only musical I like, and Olivia was the biggest reason why. She owned that role.
Thank you, John and Chloe. You have reminded me of just how beautiful Olivia was, and always will be! She was light, love and positivity personified!
I often wondered how could someone have such beautiful looks, beautiful on the inside and talent too. God worked overtime on creating Olivia. RIP gorgeous Angel
What a beautiful family, loving, courageous and one that embodies Olivia. She is smiling with pride from the heavens. May God bless her loved ones.
Gone never forgotten 😢❤
As a kid in the 70's, I had her records and her pictures all over my room. Felt like losing a close friend when she passed.
I pray her daughter stays strong and doesn't go down a dark place again. Wish Olivia had been a grandmother, she would have been the gentlest soulful nanna.
I wished Olivia had that chance too.
🙏🌹🌺
Oliva Newton John is imprinted in our hearts. Growing up I played her album over and over on my little record player.
Her angelic voice brought so much to my life.
My children grew up watching Grease and adore her as well.
Love this interview just remarkable the connection this couple had from first meeting at the pool! I believe
Olivia Newton John was an Earth Angel ♥️🧚♥️
I must add what a beautiful family she has. Sending love and light
Great interview prayers to her daughter Chloe and her husband. I can’t believe she’s gone she had a great fight amd she was a amazing singer. Rest In Peace Olivia 😢
Heart wrenching. Olivia wants them to be happy and thrive! Olivia’s girl looks a lot like her mom. What a lovely duet!
I met her in Whonnock, BC, Canada when I was 10 years old. I didn't know who she was. Chloe and Her were there filming a christmas movie down the road from my house. My mom ( recently divorced ) wanted an autograph and I was staying at my dad's house. I walked down to the set and asked for an autograph. The producer or someone on set told me to wait. They they took me over to Olivia's trailer and she invited me in and we chatted for about 10-15 mins. She had just gotten out of the shower and was only wearing a towel. I didn't know who she was as a kid, but as an adult now, I'm so impressed. She was a very kind person, glad to have met her.
🫧🤍Olivia was a rare magical light in this world. She brought love and beauty to everything she touched. We have the gifts of her music and movies to hold onto. As her husband said, she was a gift to us. My heart goes out to her loved ones. She will be remembered for always. ♾ 🕊👼🏼🕯🤍 🫧
Amen, Absolutely Well said and I Absolutely Agree
What a great actress and singer. Olivia Newton John was a beautiful lady inside and out. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My heart breaks for for her family espacelly her daughter I’m glad Chloe and John are still close sending them lots of love to both of them
I’m pleased she found genuine love with John. She deserved that. Chloe can be proud of her mother and all she stood for and was. 🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
This is a gift to ONJ fans. 💝
Olivia Newton-John will never ever be forgotten. I miss her so much,but thank God we have her music that will live on forever. RIP lovely lady you are in Rock and Roll Heaven singing all your beautiful music.
I've loved you since I was 14 and now I am 64. Love and Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🙏🕊🌹
Sending Chloe and John much love!!
John was so lucky to have had Olivia, and at the same time Olivia was so lucky to have John - he seems like a really nice person and very caring to her and loved her so much. True soul mates. Lucky the universe got them to meet up. ❤❤❤
I still can't believe your gone, miss you Olivia. You will always be in my heart . Thank you for all the great music. ❤🙏
It’s so difficult believing this beautiful, lovely woman is no longer with us. A beacon of light was extinguished the day she left us. But her legacy shines brightly in her beloved daughter Chloe and equally beloved husband John. Speaking only for myself, I “feel” her spirit via John and Chloe. Sending comfort and love to John and Chloe. R.I.P. Lovely Olivia. Beautiful Soul. ❤️
I can't imagine the void they must feel without her light in their world but I know she still shines somewhere in their lives. I truly wish she had been able to see her grandchildren which i know she would have been the best of grandmothers too.
Thank you dear lady rest in peace
Yes all of her fans miss her Olivia Newton John indeed a wonderful woman an icon a animal lover now she's no longer among Us all of the actors and actresses will miss her she indeed is home in heaven with God and completed her journey in the great circle of life
Years ago, I had the longest dream I can ever remember having. It seemed to last all night long. It was just after the movie "It's my party" . Olivia and I were just sitting up in bed talking. All night long. I realize that was just a dream, but to this day, I still feel a connection to her. She was solid gold to me, and I will love her forever. Til we dream again, ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful interview. We love Olivia.
So sad but inspiring at the same time. It feels we all knew Olivia personally like a family member and we all miss her desperately.
I hear ya. She was a part of every period of my childhood, teenage years. She always brings back such beautiful memories, and handled her illness with such dignity. The only reason to bother watching a clip, from a network that exemplifies the precise opposite of what and who Olivia was. Carson appears to be eating his pain.
We are very gifted to grow up with the special person Olivia. Her songs and kind soul will be with me forever.
Olivia was loved so much by these two,bless them both 🤍🙏🤍
Absolutely beautiful the love that Olivia brought to the world sending John and Chloe endless hugs and love Olivia will always be looking out for you both Thank You 🙏 for sharing those emotions with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I never thought i could have tears in my eyes watching her last song with Dolly Parton and part of the interview with her daughter right here. Olivia was a generational talent and based on media a better person god bless rest in piece.
I love what John shared about living for both, yes.💕
These stories made me cry she was so great and everyone loved her she was a scrapper with what she went through miss you oliva ❤
Olivia was wonderful.. RIP !!
Beautiful tribute.
She was the most gorgeous woman!! I loved listening to her sing! Gracious and beautiful inside out!! She is Avery much missed! Crying when she sings her songsin Grease.
Best musical ever along with singing in the rain ☔️ and Mary poppins and many others
Beautiful lady inside and out tremendously missed SHE'S an ANGEL 😇😇😇
Olivia Newton - John. Stunning lady and a stunning Soul of light. We all love you dearly and you are and will always be a pure Soul of Light here on earth and in heaven above. ✨✨💛💛✨✨💛💛
Olivia will alway's be like a Star 🌟 shining bright in the night.💟 ✨ Such a beautiful Soul who is loved by everyone. RIP 💟
God blessed up with such a beautiful soul! Praying for comfort to her lovely family ❤️🙏🏻. Thank you for sharing her with us.
She was so beautiful inside and out. You never get over missing your mum. 😢 My mum had breast cancer and I did. It’s a horrendous disease. ❤😢😢😢 I feel so sorry for her daughter and husband. She’s at peace. Bless her. She will never be forgotten. Her music was as magic as she was. Singing with the Angel’s.
Olivia was such an amazing person to all of us ! She is such a beautiful woman!!
She was an icon to me when I was a young girl. I loved her radiance and her beautiful voice. She really had such a bright but gentle aura. I watched Grease many times through the years, one of my favorite movies still. She was so beautiful but unassuming, kind of like Sandy. So sad when I heard that she is gone. RIP dear Olivia. Always in our hearts. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
She was a true gem! You HAVE to watch the duet with Dolly! Hauntingly beautiful! ❤️
I felt an overwhelming peace the first time I heard OLIVIA sing at a concert .. Amazing Healing ♥
I adored this person so much. She was definitely a public personality who remained professional and embodied humanity. God bless her sweet family.
Beautiful and precious what a wonderful woman Olivia was RIP
Cannot believe more than a year has passed without ONJ. RIP, Livvy.
What a BEAUTIFUL human being! She radiated love and kindness. Goals!!!!!
I thought & hoped she would be on this earth for so much longer, what a Bright human that beamed love a massive massive loss. I still struggle to remember she is gone. Sending all her family & friends big hugs & love💗🤗
My love and prayers for comfort and peace are with you both. I've been a fan since a very young age when I first saw Grease in the theater. Even though I never got the chance to meet her in person, she and her music has always been such special part of my life all of through the years. Like a lot of fans, the news of her passing has left us heart broken. She was one who's light shined so bright that it will never be extinguished. Her gifts of music, as well as the extraordinary work that she dedicated herself to in the fight against cancer, will forever live on. 🙏❤️
Very special woman. Miss her and I never even met her. I could listen to her forever.
You will Never be forgotten Olivia. Every day I think of you & sing your songs!🙏💖⚘R.I.P. Olivia 😥🙏
Yes Olivia Newton John was a great 👍 person. Rip 🙏 miss you libby
Olivia Newton-John and John Easterling were very lucky to find each other, John is a good man
Beautiful story of her family blessing. To her memory..
So much for these two individual who both lost so much! Be thou at peace, Olivia! ❤
she was my 1st crush from a little boy, im now 50 and in all truth with her passing a part of me has died too. the most amazing woman in so many ways, i wish i met her.
Sending prayers 🙏❤️ to Olivia 🙏 and her beloved family 💗💗
Loved her so much a genuine loving soul
My everlasting Love for this Beautiful and Talented Lady Olivia Newton John ❤may her Soul Rest In Peace 🙏
Olivia was one of the best, all around, not just in terms of fame or success or giftedness but in terms of also being a very good, caring, devoted and loyal human being about others and not just infatuated with herself in spite of her immense talent. Her husband spoke so well in terms of reflecting on all of that, and her daughters' just a sweetie, beautiful but kind and caring like her mom. The other side's gained a wonderful soul.
😢
Such a lovely woman and family. So sorry for their loss. Heaven has a beautiful angel 😇
I miss her a lot.🥲🥲🥲🥺🥺🥺
That man truly loved our Olivia ❤. Her connection with Chloe is inspiring. The warmth and love Olivia gave everyone is her legacy.
My condolences 🙏
Miss you Olivia we honestly love you 👼🏻❤️💋❤️😢🙏🏻
beautifully said
I miss her so much. Her Love, her Light, her white Soul. But she will always be there deep in my heart. My Love to Chloe, John and all who love her. Fly free, beautiful Soul.💞🙏🕊
So loving ..she gave her gift of love and light....my heart is with the family..she'll always will be with us forever🥲
I Loved your Mama Oliva. As a little girl, I would sing her songs and feel like I was comforted, with a big hug from her. I would always wish to know her. Lots of Love to you and John.😊💝💝
I went to see her in concert in the early 1970's before Grease. She had the "magic" then, you knew she was going to be a massive star. There will never be another Olivia. Blessed to have her for as long as we did, but it was still not long enough.
Olivia was such a great singer and had a wonderful singing voice as well as an actress l loved her music and her movies l was about 8 years old when I started listening too her music I am now 57 years old .. my heart still goes out too her daughter Chloe and family .. I surly miss her 😥😥
