MEMORIAL FOR NEWTON-JOHN
SINGER Olivia Newton-John will be honoured with a memorial service in her adoptive homeland Australia, authorities said this week. The British-born, Aussieraised star of the hit musical Grease died on Monday in California. The cause of death was not stated, but the 73-yearold singer had spent three decades fighting cancer. Victoria state premier Dan Andrews said her family had accepted the offer of a state memorial that “would be much more of a concert than a funeral”. A date is still to be decided on. | AFP
