On what would have been her 74th birthday, Olivia Newton-John was celebrated by those closest to her.
The "Physical" singer, who passed away in August after succumbing to her long battle with cancer, was honored by her dear friend, John Travolta, in a touching, yet simple post on his Instagram.
"Happy birthday my Olivia," he wrote, sharing a photo of him gazing into Newton-John's eyes in their beloved film, "Grease."

He captioned his post in part, "Happy Birthday Honey - I Love You!"
