Rick Springfield Gets Choked Up Paying Tribute to the Late Olivia Newton-John

Rick Springfield gets visibly emotional while recalling his close bond with Olivia Newton-John on ‘Today Show Australia.’ Rick says both musicians took the leap as Aussie natives to land their big break in America while supporting each other along the way. Olivia died on Monday at her ranch in Southern California at 73, after a decades-long battle against breast cancer. Several stars paid tribute to Olivia, including her pals Dionne Warwick, Jane Seymour and Leeza Gibbons.
