Olivia Newton-John passed away "peacefully" at 73 surrounded by family and friends Monday morning. Newton-John’s husband, John Easterling, confirmed the news on the “Grease” star’s official Facebook account:

"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer. Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer."

The family asks that any donations be made in her memory to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund.

This is a developing story.
