Olivia Newton-John’s husband John Easterling pays tribute to late ‘Grease’ star

Olivia Newton-John’s husband John Easterling is speaking out about the late “Grease” star’s death, releasing a statement on Newton-John’s official social media accounts on Wednesday.

Easterling wrote about the love they shared and how it always came easy for them.

“Our love for each other transcends our understanding. Every day we expressed our gratitude for this love that could be so deep, so real, so natural. We never had to ‘work’ on it,” he wrote. “We were in awe of this great mystery and accepted the experience of our love as past, present and forever.”

Easterling shared with fans about the actress’ caring nature and how she was able to lift people up through her music and how she was able to have “the spirit, the humor, and the will power to move things into the light” even in her hardest moments.

“At Olivia’s deepest essence she was a healer using her mediums of song, of words, of touch,” he explained. “She was the most courageous woman I’ve ever known. Her bandwidth for genuinely caring for people, for nature and all creatures almost eclipses what is humanely possible.”
