See Cancer-Stricken Olivia Newton-John At 'Grease' Reunion With John Travolta
Dec. 14 2019, Published 4:53 p.m. ET
Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta recreated their Grease characters more than 40 years after the hit movie!
The cancer-stricken beauty, 71, and Travolta, 65, donned their 1950s' style Sandy and Danny duds for a Meet n’ Grease sing-along event at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida on Friday, December 13.
“First time in costume since we made the movie! So excited!” Olivia wrote on Instagram.
The Saturday Night Fever actor also had fun with fans over their reunion on social media, writing, “Grease is still the word!”
As RadarOnline.com's photos show, the two friends were delighted to see each other again.
Olivia has previously told Closer Weekly that they stayed close after going "through something as powerful as ‘Grease!’ How can you not, right?”
The blonde star has gushed about John, “He’s a lovely guy. He’s a very loving father, he’s a great husband and he’s a wonderful actor."
Sadly, as RadarOnline.com readers know, Olivia is in the battle of her life during a third bout with breast cancer.
Is she enjoying the trip down Grease's memory lane during her final days?
The beloved "Let's Get Physical" singer was rocked by a devastating stage 4 diagnosis in 2017 after beating breast cancer twice-- in 1992 and 2013.
But she's maintaining her typically sunny attitude: "If you believe the statistics, you’re going to make them happen. If somebody tells you, ‘You have six months to live,’ it’s very possibly you will because you believe that," she said.
“So for me, psychologically, it’s better not to have any ideas of what to expect.”
But Dr. Jonathan Cebon, of Australia’s Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute, has acknowledged, “Stage 4 breast cancer’s not something we see as a curable disease.”
Olivia has said the cannabis grown by her husband, John Easterling, has given her pain relief.
She's inseparable with her only child Chloe Lattanzi, 33.
“They talk every day and are now more like sisters!” a source told Radar.
“Olivia knows she’s incurable — but she’s doing everything she can to make the best of the time she has left.”
That clearly includes hanging out with her former co-star John!
“She’s doing great, and she looks fantastic” John told Us Weekly at the Los Angeles premiere of The Fanatic, on August 22. “I’m so proud of her. I mean, have you ever seen anyone look like that?”
“We text each other all the time. It’s wonderful. … If I go to see her in her show, we go backstage and hang out, and I watch the show and all that. If I go to see her personally, we usually have dinner and catch up.”
