Pink paid tribute to the Grease star Olivia Newton-John at the 2022 American Music Awards by performing a cover of "Hopelessly Devoted." This performance took place three months after Olivia Newton-John passed away.
Pink paid a poignant musical homage to the late Olivia Newton-John, who passed away in the summer of 2022, during the 2022 American Music Awards, which took place on November 20th.
Pink performed a cover of the iconic song "Hopelessly Devoted to You" by John Travolta, which was featured in the blockbuster film Grease and was released in 1978. The performance took place inside the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. The singer of "Try" donned a glittering white gown with long sleeves and luxurious feathers for the tense moment, which caused chills to run down her spine. Some of the people in the audience were moved to tears when she performed the ballad while photographs of Olivia were displayed on the large screen behind her.
This was the second time that Pink had taken the stage at the AMAs that evening. The 43-year-old performer kicked off the evening with a high-energy rendition of her newest single, "Never Gonna Not Dance Again," which opened the show. She was responsible for getting the party started.
After a long and hard-fought battle with breast cancer, Olivia passed away in August at the age of 73. According to a post on Instagram that was shared to her account by her husband, John Easterling, the "Physical" singer passed away "peacefully" at her Southern California ranch while she was surrounded by family and friends. John Easterling shared the post on her Instagram account.
"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer," the post read. “Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer.”

Pink said it was an absolute opportunity to have the chance to pay tribute to Olivia before her AMAs performances. She walked the red carpet with her husband Carey Hart and their two children Willow, 11, and Jameson, 5, as well.
