The tributes from legends of the Australian entertainment industry haven’t stopped after the death of singer and icon Olivia Newton-John overnight.

The 73-year-old singer died at a ranch in Southern California, with Johnny Young revealing his son, who had pancreatic cancer, was looked after at the singer’s cancer centre in Melbourne, with Newton-John taking an interest in his health after his stint there.

“She was as concerned for the people associated with people with cancer as she was for the people with cancer, she was a gem of a woman and I could go on for 10, 15 minutes and talk about the love and the feelings that we have for her,” he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.

“She had eyes like pools, you could almost dive into them,” he told Parker.

Since I was ten years old, I have loved and looked up to Olivia Newton John. And, I always will. (Just like this picture @nfsaonline) She was, and always will be, an inspiration to me in so many, many ways. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. x ONJ4EVER pic.twitter.com/3nE8PVDFLy
