The first to speak was John Easterling, the widower of the singer and actress who passed away last year. “Every day with Olivia was magical,” he remembers emotional Easter vividly. He also admitted that when he met her in the ’90s, he didn’t like her music or even the movie fat like never before. “You have to understand I wasn’t a fan of Olivia,” he said. However, the two found each other in their shared interest in nature and natural healing. However, once he heard Olivia sing, he experienced the “healing power” of her voice.
Dolly Parton said, “The world lost one of its greatest gifts when Olivia left us.” “I know it’s especially painful for all the people out there in Australia because it’s one of you,” she said. “As a country you should be very proud and know that the whole world is crying with you.”
Carey has called herself a “fan and friend” of the singer. “I just want to say thank you. You really touched my life. As a little girl I loved it so much, Grease was probably the first movie I ever saw.” Elton John described the singer and actress as “funny” and “friendly”. “She was warm and she was talented and every time we got together we just laughed and laughed and laughed.”
