This is so sad ! I always loved her voice, so pure and effortless. And yes I did have a poster on my wall! RIP Olivia

It's a shame that the video didn't feature ELO, I wonder why not? Because it's a clip from the film, here's an official one by Universal Pictures with "Drum Dreams" posted to celebrate Xanadu's 40th Anniversary 2 years ago in 2020! Xanadu | Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly's '80s/'40s Hybrid E.L.O. Roller Disco

True and I've always thought that ELO should have also made an appearance in the film, maybe where The Tubes were or somewhere else!

I refuse to believe that ONJ is gone! To me, she'll always be an impossibly young, sweet, beautiful confection with the voice of an angel. I always get the chills when she appears with the wind blowing her hair back, singing Xanadu. RIP, Olivia

I was shocked to hear about Olivia, she's one of those people you feel should be around forever. It's really sad.

I'm sorry, but what you've replied with is pathetic. I get as irritated as anyone with Jeff's social media stuff, but he's made a decent comment about ONJ and you're more bothered about a photo crop. You come across as a juvenile

I agree with jackpunch. Why post stupid angry emojis over someone being cropped out of a photo? Go find something else to be upset about,cause that's pathetic. RIP ONJ.

I must admit, I was very upset hearing the news about Olivia. A great singer, entertainer, and person. And a beautiful woman. I always thought her and Jeff would have made a great couple. Although I wasn't a great fan of the movie Xanadu when it came out, I always liked the music. And,yes, I did listen to the ONJ side of the album although not as much as the ELO side! Olivia holds a special place in the hearts of all fans of ELO. Rest in peace.
