Newton-John passed away on Aug. 8 at the age of 73 from a long battle with breast cancer.
In 2017, after the singer and actress announced that her breast cancer had metastasized and spread to her bones, telling PEOPLE, "I’m winning over it well and that’s how I see it. I don’t think about it a lot, to be honest. Denial is a really good thing and I’m getting stronger and better all the time! I’m doing well!"
Travolta also commented on the news at the time, saying, "Olivia is a survivor and she’s smart and she’s got a lot of life in her and I think she looks at it from the glass half full always and that’s her beautiful, natural approach towards life and I think we all need to do that."
The two formed a strong bond from starring in Grease together, which only grew as the years went on.
