The singer hit the stage in Santa Rosa, Calif., on Friday, March 2, while hosting "An Evening With Olivia Newton-John" at Luther Burbank Center.

Newton-John has said she's a "cancer thriver, not a cancer survivor."
The Australian-raised star wore rhinestone cowgirl style garb at her concert.
The crowd cheered for the songstress who has succeeded in both music and film.
Newton-John sported a tousled blonde bob at her gig. She recently told Closer after her illness," I am no longer in pain and happy to say I am working again. When I get to sing the songs I love, it's like a gift. Being on the road with my band has been healing for me."
