Stirring musical tribute to Olivia Newton-John
<p>In honour of Olivia Newton-John, two musical powerhouses have delivered an emotional tribute to the late entertainer. </p>
<p>While on their world tour, British rock band Coldplay were joined on stage at London's Wembley Stadium by singer Natalie Imbruglia to perform a hit song from <em>Grease</em>. </p>
<p>Together, they performed the track <em>Summer Nights</em> to the 90,000-strong crowd, with the audience singing along to every word. </p>
<p>For their rendition, Imbruglia handled the role of Sandy while Coldplay’s Chris Martin sang the part of John Travolta’s character, Danny, duetting on its shared chorus along with Jacob Collier.</p>

<p>Before the tribute to Olivia, Coldplay and Imbruglia also performed <em>Torn</em>, which Imbruglia popularised when she released her version of the Ednaswap song as her debut single in 1997.</p>
<p>Natalie Imbruglia was among the thousands of entertainers to pay tribute to Olivia Newton-John after she died of breast cancer at age 73, writing an emotional post online. </p>
<p>She said, "Devastated to hear of the passing of Olivia Newton John. When I was a little girl I used to close my eyes and sing her songs and dream of one day being on a stage somewhere, singing, just like her. She was magic."</p>
<p>"A huge inspiration to me and so many other young kids who where singing into their hairbrush."</p>
